Adjusting The Sails

This is a very inspiring and well created video made by a famous youtube comedian, “Nigahiga”. This is not a comedy. The video has an important message in it and it is mentioned at the end of the video. The main message is: “Each year, thousands of teenagers die from the bad decisions they make when going through a tough time in their life. Don’t be one of them…Make the right choice…Never resort to alcohol or drugs.”

I chose this video because it has a very important message in it that I think every teen should get. Today many teens are making bad choices due to various factors. I don't want that to happen and that's why Ryan (his real name) made this video. After watching this video I understood that making bad choices and decisions can result in consequences. Some are minor and some are serious. Ryan did a really good job on making this video because it strong in a way that can influence viewers to not make bad choices and decisions. I am one of those viewers. Since he is the second most subscribed comedian on YouTube, his video will definitely get a lot of attention especially from teenagers.
