Stunning teen actress Victoria Justice of Nickelodeon's hit show "Victorious" is totally stopping traffic -- but not for the reason you think. As the spokestarlet for National Youth Traffic Safety Month, she's asking all you teen drivers to slow down, stop texting, quit fiddling with the dang radio and really think about what you're doing when you hop in your ride because the consequences for young people are DEADLY. In fact, 11 teens will lose their lives in car crashes TODAY. Yeah, makes you wanna pull over for a second, huh?

Charity work can sometimes be boring. You know it. I know it. I spend a large portion of my free time doing volunteer work; however, if I’m not passionate about the work, it’s hard not to imagine myself relaxing in my underwear instead of scrubbing inner city dumpsters on a Sunday afternoon. But guess what I just found out: relaxing in your underwear IS charity! (Seriously, though.)

Graduation is huuuuur! Ater you catapult those caps and head to the after party, you’re gonna need some musical matriculation (SAT word!) inspiration that will get you HYPED for your future.

So grab that diploma because school's OUT and these songs are IN!

You walk into your American Politics-101 class and what do you see? Photos of all the U.S. Presidents, mayhaps? Classmates actively ~~texting~~ taking notes while sipping on their third cup of coffee? Bill Maher and mtvU cameras at the front of the room? How about all of the above?

Thanks to Rock The Vote, there’s a bevy of musical badasses who are putting their pop power behind this year’s youth voter push. It's a democratic get-down you really don’t wanna miss! Founded to combat musical censorship back in the early 90s (their OG Madonna ads are PRICELESS for her accent alone), Rock The Vote has now grown into the biggest non-partisan voter registration org in America. It’s all about young people having a say in who runs this country (Beyonce has already cast her vote) and 2012 is gonna be no different.
