I don't know if this was shown in schools, but it probably was somewhere. Does anyone remember "Strong Kids, Safe Kids?" It was this video about sexual abuse and how kids should tell if they were touched.



At about 1:45 there's an unintentionally hilarious song about the proper words for private parts.

I remember a couple of em.

One was some never quit type movie that kept saying the phrase "You can do it Duffy Moon". Another was in Music class about some loser band called Charlie Midnight. They kept showing a clip of them playing the song "Another Saturday Night".

Years later a friend and I were hanging out and we heard that song and we both laughed about that stupid film.

Re: Educational / "Life Lesson" Films That You Were Shown In School?

I'll never forget the week that we were studying ww2 in high school. My class had some really big dickheads that showed no respect towards the topic at all. At the end of the week, my teacher showed the opening clip of Saving Private Ryan. I'll never forget that at the end, those same dickheads were absolutely stunned by what they had seen, and from that day on, were always bugging my teacher for more lessons about ww2. Just one of life's cool moments man...
