Youth subculture

Eight teens, two adults, and one box shaped van. This was the base for the Bethany Lutheran Church teen group as we headed four hours north to the 2015 Bethany Lutheran church summer mission trip. Me and a crazy group of teens canvas to help spread the news of a vacation bible school that kids in the community could attend later in the week. We were a hungry group of teens when we arrived so the members of Trinity Church fed us tons of food that satisfied us. As we ate we talked about our…

drive today’s youth to stay inside all day. Professional athletes are the light at the end of the long technological tunnel. These athletes provide a sense of what hard work is and where it can take you. Although the physical aspects of what athletes can do are what is most observed by people, the psychological factors that athletes help young people develop are also very important. Some critics deem athletes unfit to be role models for kids. They say that all athletes show the youth of the…

Youth Sport Dangers Despite youth involvement in sports teams creates friendships, studies show it’s best to wait for sports participation. First of all, starting sports at too young of an age can be very dangerous. Although parents believe they need to put their young kids in sports early so they are familiar with the sport and not lost if they join later as they grow up, they may be putting their kids at risk because most of the body of a young kid is barely developed at such a young age. For…

right to free speech, children are permitted this right. When deciding if a game is inappropriate for youth, the decision is solely left to the parent (Holland). The visual for The Top Games of 2011, presents a deceiving image by attempting to make violent video games seem appropriate for children. It creates a connection between young children and violent video games. These games are corrupting the youth in society by exposing them to malicious behaviors in the gameplay. Which could…

As teenagers, we all get influenced quite easily. Sometimes in a positive way, and sometimes in a negative way, but all in all, we get influenced by the people that we associate with. Those people tend to be your friends and sometimes you may not want to speak up or tell your friends something personal. You are afraid to lose them or are afraid of what they’ll think about you when they find out. Our whole society is based on the “trends” where people who are more socially known (celebrities,…

To all coaches and parents of youth athletes, Sports are one of the most popular activities to participate in. A total of 45 million kids participate in youth sports.

I am really interested in participating in the Peer Ministry course at Ursuline Academy because I would enjoy the opportunity to lead retreats for the younger girls at UA, and help to guide them into leading righteous lives. My older brother has lead many retreats for his school in past years which have helped to not only guide the younger students into leading faithful lives, but it has also helped to shape him as a person. I really want to grow strong, like him, in my faith, and help to guide…

products of low income areas. What I’m gonna be talking about is how and why the same things affect both subcultures. Both are viewed negatively, but are positive outlets for at risk youth. Rap music and Punk has contributed more than it’s negatively impacted. The kind of questions i'm researching off of are, why do the same things affect two totally different subcultures ?…
