      Teen Health Tips

      To ensure that you keep your body energized and healthy, eat a variety of foods! If you are eating a variety of foods, you are more likely to get the nutrients your body needs. Don't be afraid to try new foods!

      Drink plenty of water AND milk. Water helps keep your body healthy and hydrated, while milk has calcium to help build strong bones.

      Listen to your body! Take note when you feel full and do not over eat. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable and over a period of time, can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

      Por Rosana Alcantar

      Porterville por fin va tener un programa que ayudará a los estudiantes potenciales de nuestra comunidad para que no se involucren con las pandillas.

      El activista local David Gong comenzó el proyecto Ingrid en honor a una ex-alumna de la preparatoria Granite Hills, Ingrid Coronel, que falleció en agosto del 2011. Su muerte fue a causa de un accidente automovilístico cuando ella y otros estudiantes del equipo juvenil de libertad condicional que iban en una camioneta del Departamento de Libertad Condicional del Condado de Tulare, para hacer servicios comunitarios.

      El programa de antipandillas fue organizado por Las Madres de la violencia contras las pandillas, y David Gong, y favorece a esos estudiantes que pueden ser futuros miembros de pandillas.

      Los requisitos para estar en este programa, el estudiante debe mantener un cierto G.P.A de 2.5 y tiene que hacer servicio comunitario cada año, si el estudiante no sigue los requisitos serán sacados del programa.

      El programa no solo es enfocado en las pandillas sino en los estudiantes que tienen potencial que quieren estar en deportes pero no tienen suficiente dinero para comprar sus materiales. Les dará más oportunidades para poder ser parte de deportes, porristas, y ser parte de la banda.

      Empresas, familias, empresas, y clubes escolares pueden ayudar apadrinando a un niño que ha sido identificado por el distrito escolar por el programa.

      “Las pandillas es un problema de la comunidad no del consejo de la cuidad, para solucionar el problema que va a tomar toda la comunidad” digo Gong.

      El propósito de este programa es para cambiar la dinámica de la familia, hacer una familia más feliz. También ayudará al departamento de policía para que las calles de nuestra comunidad sean más seguras.

      “Este programa les enseñara a los estudiantes como ser socialmente interesados y ser buenos ejemplos para nuestra comunidad”, mencionó Gong.

      El programa comenzará en el distrito de la escuela primara Alta Vista pero Gong espera que se extienda en todos los distritos de Porterville y otras comunidades.

      Celina Cervantes un alumna del último año en la preparatoria de Granite Hills comenta que “Es más fácil abrochar a los adolescentes de edad menor para aconsejarlos para alejarse de las pandillas.”

      Gong mencionó que si vamos a solucionar un problema necesitamos empezar en nuestra propia ciudad. Después expenderá en otras comunidades.

      El costo de este programa será entre 300 a 500 dólares al año para pagar para los materiales del deporte, banda, o cualquier actividad escolar.

      “Big 5 acordó en poner un descuento en todo el equipo deportivo, para los estudiantes”, digo Gong.
