Ever listen to a song on the radio and wish you could better understand the lyrics? Now you can.
'Choose To Change', a new concept in radio programming for teens, allows listeners to read the lyrics to the songs as they are being played. Eighty percent of the songs played on the show were suggested by teens who are encouraged to send teen empowerment nonprofit, Hey UGLY, songs with lyrics that nurture positive self-esteem and promote diversity, perseverance, peace and a healthy planet. After the songs are played the show hosts discuss the meaning of the lyrics with teen listeners. Show themes have varied from songs with lyrics that help you "hang in there", to lyrics that help you learn how to say your sorry. Last week's shows dealt with self-discovery and making your dreams come true.

If there is one thing that teens relate to it's music and the radio show is a vehicle for having their voices heard. The goal of the show are to encourage teens to listen to songs with positive messages; encourage adults to better connect with teens by listening to those messages. Singers and songwriters are invited to discuss the emotions they experienced as they performed or composed the songs that are played.
Choose To Change airs on WRHC FM weekly, and streams worldwide on the internet while they lyrics are posted on the blog.
Hey U G L Y is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to help teens counter bullying, eating disorders, violence, substance abuse and suicide. (U G L Y is an acronym meaning unique gifted lovable you.)
