Youth work

Prom. The word alone can bring pleasant images, feelings, and thoughts to the mind of most Americans. It is a tradition in our culture to attend prom at least once in high school and those who miss it, miss an experience that cannot be replaced. Students of today often imagine a fantasy evening filled with sparkles, romance, and ultimately, the best night of their lives. However, is prom worth the money? In today’s world, the event can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Some feel…

up to the first home, I could barely stand it. I was not expecting a person to slam their door in my face. I turned away and tried to shake it off. I thought about all the plans I had made the night before and was not going to let that hinder my work. I trudged up to the next house, that by the way looked a little beaten up from the outside, and instead of getting a face full of a door, I got not so kind words. After just two stops, I began to…

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…

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,…

3.1 Explain why it is important to ensure children and young people are protected from harm within the work setting. As adults in positions of responsibility, acting in ‘loco parentis’, a level of awareness must used for protecting children and young people from harm, as we have taken over responsibility from their parents hike they are in our care, this relates to all contexts, from health and safety issues to those around safeguarding, internet safety and safety on school trips. Children and…

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…

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…

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. Parents claim that these extracurricular activities are getting way too out of hand. But really, the athletes are having a lot of fun and only 38.5% of kids don’t fancy what sports they are perform in. Therefore, youth sports are not getting too intense. First of all, the kids are claiming they are relishing their…

again. Holden, while engaging in adult behavior, has an even more intense conviction to be not as mature. He also wants to protect children from becoming tainted by the societal pressure to mature. Caulfield’s beliefs attract him to people that exude youth and immaturity. Holden believes that children do best when maturing at their own pace. When they are forced to assume adult roles, as seen in Sunny the prostitute, children are not given the chance to dream. Through the characterization…

Prisons have been around for many decades. The American people have normally thought that prisons are a good place to send criminals away. However, many people have proven that this might not be the case. In Wilbert Rideau’s “Why Prisons Don’t Work” he talks about how prisons aren’t as good as they might seem. They don’t help out the criminal to become a better person. I agree Rideau in this case. Prisons need to be a place where criminals can be helped to become a better individual.…
