A public service announcement is an announcement used to influence something like stop drinking, stop smoking, don't do drugs, etc. The topic I would like to use as a public service announcement would be to stop using MySpace and why it is so bad. MySpace is bad becuase you can get hurt using it. Most people lie about their ages to join and it is really unsafe. An alternative to using MySpace would be to use Google's orkut. it is much safer and since you know it was made by Google, it can be a lot safer than using MySpace.

A public service announcement is an
add or announcement to influence an
idea. A topic I would like to make
a PSA about would be smoking and the effects of smoking. Many people don't realize the harm of it, and they keep on smoking. Many people die of Lung Cancer every year because of that.

A public service announcement is something you do to stop something bad. I would like to do a PSA on drinking because not only it is bad, but it can hurt you it can also hurt others. People will get drunk and drive they will wreck and get people hurt. Drinking to much is something that should be stopped.

A public service announcement is when someone advertises about drugs and how they got help, to the public. I would want to advertise about smoking because so many people do it and think they look cool, but it looks nasty. Also, most of them don't know thier consequences for "being cool."

I think that it is drinking and using very bad actions. They should be thinking about what they are doing instead of just trying to be cool.

A public service annoncement is is an annoucement to the public that is put out there to try to stop something like smoking or drinking. A topic I would do a PSA on would be drugs, because there are many consequences that come with doing drugs. And as you get older and have more responsibilty you become more stressed. Then people turn to drugs which isn't the right chioce.

A public service announcement is an announcement about something like child abuse, animal abuse, or any other kind of abuse. I would choose animal abuse because I have a neighbor that does not pay attention to has dog and just has it chained up in his backyard. It stays out there no matter what, hurricane, tornado, or any other natural disaster. It (the dog) has been let out at night before, but hasn't been visited much. Since it is being "neglected" or ignored I want to do a PSA on animal abuse.

I'm not really sure what a public service announcement is, but I think that it might be something that tries to convince you to get rid of something. My public service announcement would be for people, especially teens, to stop using drugs because it is really bad for you, damages your future, could possibly kill you, and plus, it doesn't help you in any way. So why do them? Those are some of the reasons why i would make drugs my PSA.

A public service anouncement is an announcement used to tell people about a topic and what to do about it, like to stop drinking or to vote etc. I think that it would be cool to make a PSA about not doing drugs. People use them all the time and get addicted. It is very bad and you should not do it.

A public service announcement is something use to try to warn you about things that are harmful to yourself and others some things that they use as a public service announcement are reckless driving, drunk driving, smoking etc. My topic would be to show commercials of how black your lungs are when you smoke and show how many brain cells you would lose from just one beer or other alchoholic beverage.

I think that a public service announcment is an announcment to get out something like a testimony or something that the general public need to know. An example of a public service announcment would be like for smoking and why people should stop and what could happen to you if you do it. I think i would like to do a PSA on computers and technology and why people should use them but i migght change my mind.

A public service announcment is an announcement that is used to influence people not to drink, do drugs, or anything like that. I would choose drinking as mine PSA. People get killed like everyday because of drunk driving. It is really a bad thing to do because you have people that depend on you and get let down when you do something stupid because you got drunk.

A public service annoucement is an announcement. This announcment could be of many things, such as: not to drink under the age or not even at all, or not to smoke, etc. But I would complain for people to stop smoking. Why I think people should stop Smoking is because the more we smoke the more chances of dieing with Lung Cancer, or another kind of cancer. Also because, our death rate has increased a good bit from smoking. Most people do it because it looks cool, or sounds cool but trust me its not.

A public service announcement i would like do is to show how to resist the influences of drugs. Im not just saying a certain age of people either. There are now sick people that are putting chrystal meth in poprocks. I mean that makes me scared to buy candy. If i was a legislator I would spend more time trying to pass a bill to try to protect childen from accidentally buying the wrong candy. I mean if a little kid eats that they could die. That is what i want to do for my public announcement.

A public Service announcement is an announcement to the public about problems often used to influence the public to do or think something. The topic I would like to do a public service announcement on is Smoking and why it should be stopped. The reason being is smoking is not only gross but a rude inconvenience to everyone. I believe that smoking is worse than drinking because when you smoke in public it harms other people. Far too many people die from smoking. This is a problem that needs to end NOW!

A public service announcement is an influence to someone to stop doing or do something that is good.
Like telling someone to stop drinking, smoking, don't do drugs, and other serious issues for people in the world today. One public announcement I would make is to stop cyber bullying because it can cause serious problems that will stick with that person forever. It is also the reason many teens are killing or getting in fights with people, and getting sent to Alternative Schools.

A public service announcement is an advertisement that is trying to persude someone that sommething relatively common can be deadly if you keep doing it. A topic I would really like to do my PSA on is smoking. Smoking is very common in alabama, almost too common. People really do not know the dangers of smoking cigarrettes and using tobacco products. They can do horrible things to you! It is really unfortunate that this many people smoke cigarettes. Smoking pollutes the air you breathe and can really damage your organs... and your whole body... before you even know it.

A public service is a way to stop a bad thing that is like DUI, drinking under age, smoking, etc. If I could choose a topic for a PSA it would be about smoking under age, I think taht is a good PSA because there are a lot of people at school and at public places that I see trying to sneak a smoke and it's disgusting. I think instead of smoking young people should have activities they should do instead of smoking.

Jacob said that a public service announcmaent is an announcment used to stop addicts from doing the addiction that they had started. Like Achoholics,drug addictions,and smoking.These people were put on Earth by God to spread the word of him, not to se their bodies to do stuff like cocaine,achohol,meth and other things that would be against the word of God.One day those people will be judged on what they have done in their life and they wiil be sorry but, it will be to late and they will have spent their whole life doing this stuff and not spreadng the word of God. Mabye some day people will finally have recgonized what they have done and just quit. But nobody can change the world. But that does'nt mean that we can't try.

A public announcement is an announment that is used to influence people that are addicted to things such as: drugs, alchohol, or anything alse that could result in bad decisions. I would like to do my public service announcement on probably why drinking can be dangerous and that it can hurt not only you, but family and friends too. When people usually drink, it's because they don't know what else to do to help. The most popular reson for drinking is either because the person is looking for comfort, and instead of going to someone for help, they look to things like drugs or alchohol for comfort.

A public service announcement (PSA) anounces something that is is important so that the public can know about it. or it can be a influence or an idea. this one was about drinking or smoking. if I could make one I would talk about saving energy because if we don't we will have bad weather forever. which is terrible.
