here is the wiki deffinition

 
A public service announcement (PSA) or community service announcement (CSA) is an advertisement broadcast on radio or television, for the public interest. PSAs are intended to modify public attitudes by raising awareness about specific issues. The most common topics of PSAs are health and safety.

Do something like the correlation between violent video games and violent actions. Venezuela is trying to ban violent video games because there is so much violence in their country and they think it is coming from the violence in video games. That could be a good idea or an awful idea, but either way it is an idea.

Since you're targeting parents, how about a PSA on the increasing use of adderol among high school and college students?

In Colorado a lot of the PSA's are to prevent the use of Meth. I feel like you could easily do one like this: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKF-kzmz7Mw. Some of the video's are freaky as shit.

i agree here. one of my roommates is one of the smartest students in my grad program, although she is pretty dumb in most other areas, and she decided she wanted adderal to help her study when she already gets straight a's. she sits in class now bouncing and twitching worse than ever when she is on it.  two other guys i know take it also just for studying and they don't need it at all.

but seriously, go on youtube and search G.I. Joe PSA, the serious ones (that haven't been dubbed over) are great examples of a public service announcement.

 real world tests show that the sanitizers only kill 40-55% of germs on hands, vs the 99.9% claims based on sterile lab procedures. ..... and kids can get wasted off the stuff!!!!
