I liked that it gave students the opportunity so they can feel that they are not alone. There are actually people out there that understand them and there are actual people going through these situations.

The Choice Game™ truly entertains while fulfilling the A through H requirements of the Department of Health and Human Services to help build strong moral decision making skills for young people within an interactive computer environment.
The story lines and the language help young people in each version make decisions and then deal with the consequences of their choices. Celebrity actors like Stephen Baldwin, Joe Mantegna and Malcolm-Jamal Warner all help the young person to realize that today's decisions can have far reaching consequences. Even the most uninterested young people enjoy this creative and engaging new way of learning about what could happen to them and their friends.
Each day our young people seem to be faced with more and more difficult and complex problems and decisions. Why not give them something that is fun and can help them make healthier choices while they are learning how to build brighter futures?
