Teen Interviews

Kirby & Melissa:


This week we have been working on interviewing other teens around town. For the interviews we asked only one question. This is what we have asked:

We are doing an article in the Atencion about the different teen activities in San Miguel and we would like to know what activities you are involved in after school and on weekends, where you go to hang out and what you would like to see available for teens in San Miguel.

So far we have interviewed 8 people.

These are the interviews we have so far:


name: Savannah Cooley age: 13 school: Victoria Robbins gender: Female nationality: American

"I am involved with two extra curricular activities. I take dance and play the violin. On the weekends I like to go to the movies or hang out in the jardin with friends. Generally I'm pretty busy on weekends. I think that San Miguel should have an ice rink because all ages would enjoy it and it would be profitable."

name: Cameron Jones age: 14 school: Victoria Robbins gender: Male nationality: American

" I hang out with friends and I like to go to the movies. I would like an ice skating rink or a bowling alley; I think it would be fun."

name: Juan Jose Lopez age: 17 school: Pipila gender: Male nationality: Mexican

"The activity I enjoy doing after school is singing. I think San Miguel could use more sport centers."

name: Alex Rolland age: 15 school: Victoris Robbins gender: Male nationality: American

"I would like to see a place for teens to hang out and coexist....... haha,
as for after school activities... they are pretty much
nothing. I walk dogs for money, and I have a guitar lesson
once a week. I'd like to see maybe some sort of a community center,
just a place for kids to chill and stay out of
trouble, although, Im sure that wouldn't even make
that much of a difference.

But on a secondary note, the reason this town has so
many drug problems is because teens have no where to
go and nothing to do.But other than that, week days
theres nothing for teens to do."

For this next one, we interviewed Doris Van Bebber about her two sons, Nico 17 and
Mattias 14.

"My oldest son goes home, works, hangs out with his
friends at bars, and likes to play music. My other son
sits at home most of the time, takes music lessons
mostly piano and takes a Kung Fu class. What I would
like to see more of in San Miguel are more sports
teams, and more community centers like the Sindicato,
but maybe for purposes other than dance and such like here."

These are the interviews we have collected so far and we hope to get more from teens at other schools and more teachers and parents.
