The Importance Of Teens In A Small Town

opportunity for teens to develop greater responsibility. In the club, students work together in pairs to create machines used on competition days, with the most important being the State Competition at the University of Delaware in March. Students might have to create a bridge out of wooden dowels and super glue or a plane out of wood and cardboard. Safety Town, a weeklong summer camp run by New Castle County that uses teen volunteers to teach young kids safety skills, also provides a chance for teens to thrive

elsewhere. Unlike both of these, I was raised in a small midwestern town with seemingly very little to do; however, this small town has helped shape who I am today. Hometowns can provide many meaningful experiences important to one's’ development and that is what Smithton, Illinois has done for me. I believe that my hometown of Smithton, Illinois played a vital role in helping me develop my sense of creativity. Living in a neighborhood outside of town I often ran out of things to do, but luckily my

value on what I have learned from them and where we come from. My big, small-town family gave me a sense of what it means to help others, how we can accomplish this goal, and for what reasons. Being raised in a close-knit, Christian family with strong values will assist me in understanding how to be successful in terms of compassion and

Whether the environment being a small city with few hundreds or a large city filled with thousands, my hometown I will always remind me what I have become and how it has shaped myself. The place I call my hometown is Latta and I have realized that living in a small town has its perks and privileges. Latta is a small city filled with people that are affectionate and loving; especially my family. My hometown has taught me the importance of my family and friends. In the small city of Latta, nearly all the

Teens today are often at risk of abusing substances, getting into trouble, and causing violent scenes. They also are still trying to discover who they are, what interests them, who to hang around with, and just discover themselves. An issue people debate about is the actions that teens choose to do.

Completed: 25 March 2015 In the novel, Tomorrow When the War Began, there is an invasion on a small rural town in Australia. A group of young teens are out camping and manage to avoid capture. The discovery that their friends and families have been captured ignites them on a crusade to do what they can to liberate their town.

“When the curfew switches [from midnight to 11 p.m. in Washington in September] gun violence goes up during the 11 p.m. hour.”(Anderson). Curfew is the regulation requiring people to remain indoors during between specified hours. Most adolescents are risk takers so therefore they do not care if they get caught past curfew.
