Directions Youth Services Centre: Alcohol abuse
Your rating: None Average: 5.7 (10 votes)

Every kid on the street has a story. Many of the homeless youth on our streets have escaped from homes filled with abuse and violence. Directions is a 24 hour resource centre where they can find the support and tools they need to get off the streets for good.

Kid? Abused wife maybe, but she certainly doesnt look like a kid.

That's what a kid looks like after living on the streets for some time. Nice and solid campaign!

Sorry, not buying that. Try again.

You are funny. Plus I agree.

No better the second time around, sorry. If you cant defend your position any better than that, then I suggest trying another field of endeavor.

Loosen up buddy, you sound a bit tensed. But I must admit, you also sound like a poet.

Looks nice. Reminds me of the Nissan stuff a bit, and some other auto ads along a wall where they are interacting with illustrations.

nice art, but weak argument. everyone has a story, so what? why should i worry about another peoples lives and weakness? i agree with SeanMartin and more: there are many many "kids" that suffered the same "bad stories" and make life better without get the streets, or getting out of it!
show me how MY life can be better helping those loosers.

Not to defend "those loosers", but some people don't know how to deal with their problems at home and often opt to live on the streets. It's their only escape from an abusive household. These are people in need just like kids in Africa suffering from malnutrition or drug addicts in the slumps in L.A.

You are not true to your nickname. Bad news: your life can't be better helping those loosers. You won't make any money with that, you won't get a hot chick or a good job.
