Historically, holding a public office was something to be proud about. In recent years, there is more apathy and distaste from young people to get involved and run for political office. It does not matter at what level that office may be. It could be at the local, state or national level. As this has been the case for many years, it has in recent years become more evident. Lawless and Fox, in Running from Office, looked at this problem and made recommendations in an effort to resolve and…

Although working under the umbrella of The Joe Wine Blythe Recreation Center, the foundation continues to give back and nurture the Blythe and Palo Verde Valley community. History: In existence since the mid to late 1950s, The Blythe Recreation Foundation was formed, which would later encompass the Rec-N-Crew, a non-profit organization, which was formed to purchase…

In the last years our news media has been bombarding us with reports of crimes of our youth. We have had teens walking into schools and movie theaters going on shooting rampages. We have watched helplessly while kids that are not old enough to vote, use shotguns and automatic rifles with precision and accuracy. We have tried to find someone to place the blame of these horrific crimes. It is easy to blame the parents for not rearing the children correctly. We do not look at the fact that the…

disease as serious as cancer at such a young age.The schooling aspect of cancer is usually a hard pill to swallow for some parents and children because education is such a huge part of our future as a whole, without proper schooling the minds of the Youth in our society will not have sufficient means to proceed onto higher levels. Aside from the logistics of cancer the social and emotional effects can lead to so many subcategories such as depression and bipolar behavior and violent mood swings…

The summer of 2013 was the year I graduated. We have all been there: 18 years old , in a comfortable environment where our problems are small and plenty of opportunities. Some people have everything planned and sorted out, but most off them have no clue what to do with their life after high school.

The emotional pendulum that kids go through during the crazy years of adolescent hood is easily more intense then that of a middle age woman going through her menopause stage. The only real difference is that the middle age woman has years of experience and even though her body might not have ever been through this exact type of feeling, they still have the knowledge of how crazy life’s tenures can be. As for a kid they have no past experience with any of what is going to happen next in life. It…

most purpose of this experience was to network. The first session I attended was: The Resiliency of Youth and Community Using the Social Determinants of Health: What it takes for Youth and Children to Thrive In this session there was three programs…

culture. The Church has usually shied away from talking about it, because they feel that culture is evil and a Christian has to shun evil and therefore to stay clear of anything to do with culture. We need to get over this unhealthy perspective. For youth workers, pastors, ministers who have an access and opportunity to engage in the lives of young people, it would…

sister. The infatuation with Mangan’s sister is the catalyst for the change in the main character as he progresses from young boy to young man. The main character in Araby starts off as an innocent young child filled with hope and playfulness. The youth of the narrator Is exemplified in the story “The cold air stung us and we played till our bodies glowed” (Joyce 1). Being young is being young no matter where you go nor the period in which a person lives, the tenacity to have fun and play is…
