Jennifer Lawrence, And 8 Other Young Life-Savers (VIDEO)

She may fight to the death on-screen in The Hunger Games, but in reality, actress Jennifer Lawrence prefers saving lives.

Lawrence called for paramedics and, once the woman was reported to be okay, helped untangle the woman's dog caught in its own leash.

As a tribute to Jennifer's heroism, we've rounded up 8 other inspiring young people who made the news for selfless actions this year, from an Australian teen who saved three lives in three years, to a 17-year-old who drove a bus full of students to safety.
