Teen Power and Control (Violence)

Teen violence affect many young women today, some of the most common violence a teen woman experiences often is caused by a Young man or even an adult man. Though this happens among male female relationships these kind of violence occurs within the family as well.

I think some of the most common types of violence occuring today among young women include but are not limited to:

Intimidation

Isolation/ Exclusion

Peer pressure

Anger/Emotional Abuse

From these four I deeply believe that Anger/Emotional Abuse is one of the type of violence actions that mostly affect young teens today. I think it is sad that this happens because most of the time this doesn't only affect teens within their relationships but it also happens within their families and in their own homes. Some times while the abuser can be the boyfriend/partner it can also be the brother, the sister, dad, and even mom.

Friday, (9/11/2009) was the Mexican Independence Celebration at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was very happy to be there and most of all very thankful that I was able to participate in the ballet folklorico dance performance for the celebration. Along with other four girls, I danced thwo dances the most common dance named Son de la Negra y Las Indias de Tuxuapan. I had alot of fun there was plenty of food to eat all very tasty Mexican dishes: mole, chicharrones con chile, pozole, menudo, tamales, arroz con leche, frijoles, arroz mexicano, and lots of fruit. Everything was really neat and the decorations were obviously mexican themed. I had lots of fun. After the Grito de Independencia and singing the Mexican Hymn we had the DJ Fernando Cervantes play lots of good music to dance and well you bet there were lots of dancers. the Mexican Culture never says no to dancing. VIVA MEXICO!!!
