    March 1, 2020 /

    Editor’s Note A couple of sayings have been politicized and overused to the point they feel trite: “It’s all about the kids” and “It takes a village.” But you readers know these are some of the most true statements of our child-rearing years. From the moment you first glance your newborn, until, well, forever, your kids are the top priority. Nothing comes even close. That’s why you read Growing Up and that’s what we strive to bring you. We want to let you know about things you can do in the community including schools, after school activities, and add medical, legal and parenting advice. We also want your input and…

    Your Body is Not Wrong

    March 1, 2020 /

    Your Body is Not Wrong BY MIKAYLA SHULTS “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself” – Coco Chanel Throughout my years of middle school, I noticed an unacceptable behavior among the girls my age. In the beginning, I looked up those older than me, who probably had no idea how I admired them. My peers and I compared ourselves to others and spoke poorly about our bodies. It made this a mentally dangerous place for many. Now, in high school, I am saddened to see the same thing happening. So I spoke up to help these young ladies. The I Weigh community created by Jameela Jamil is a…

    Keeping Kids Busy and Organized in the Car

    March 1, 2020 /

    Keeping Kids Busy and Organized in the Car Kids like to keep busy and during a car ride is no exception. I like to keep these questions and comments to a minimum: “Are we there yet?” “I’m bored.” “I am hungry.” “I can’t reach this.” “I dropped that”. Here are a few ideas that keep my kids happy and busy during short or long car trips. Keeping It In Reach When kids are buckled in the car there is not much that they can reach. While I adore the organizers that are placed on the back of the seat in front of them, kids in a car seat are not…

    Can High School Journalism be Saved?

    March 1, 2020 /

    Can High School Journalism be Saved? Studies Show Teens and Tweens are Susceptible to “Fake News” BY JOHN KOENIG Democracy dies in darkness. Those powerful words, taken up as a slogan by the Washington Post, remind us that ethical journalists are guardians of the light that dispels the darkness of ignorance and hidden corruption. Sadly, according to local teachers and administrators, it’s been years–often more than a decade–since journalism classes have been offered in most Santa Cruz high schools. “Journalism students become skilled through regular practice in gathering information by asking smart questions,”says Cabrillo College English Instructor David Sheftman. “They learn how to work as part of a highly collaborative,…
