And they dont really have airconditioning at all. They dont have lights. They dont have floor. They dont have toilets. Theyre really extreme poverty conditions. Bad as conditions are in countries like uganda, girls have it even worse. The reason i focus on Subsaharan Africa is because girls never get the chance. Theyre often married off at a very young age or they just are used to work at home and work in the fields while the boys go to school. And thats why reverse the course was born. So, why dont you come help me make a bow . Okay. Reverse the course is a business and foundation that i started at the age of 12. I really wanted to help one girl go to school, and so i thought by selling products, i could raise money to pay her tuition. But before she could sell any products, she needed to make them. And that included learning some new skills. So it took about a month, maybe two months to really teach myself how to sew. And, like, i can only do a straight line, still. [ chuckling ] its not, like, clothes or anything. Mary grace started small with just one product. This is actually my first thing i made. Its called a reversible headband. And it just slides in and out like that. Oh, thats so clever. With time, she added more and more types of accessories and invested in more sophisticated equipment. This is an embroidery machine that i bought this past fall, and what it does is it embroiders letters, monograms, whatever you want, and it can do, like, sailboats and different icons, too. So, for example, this is just some letters that i recently did. And then i can do different icons, which are back up here. Her mother helps her with running the business end of things, but mary grace makes most of the accessories herself, from headbands to bows. I try to do a lot of dualpurpose things so that people can both get a bargain but then also be able to help girls go to school, and thats the neat part about it. Oh, this is one of my newest things. Its called knot for profit, but knot cause of the little knots on the headbands. These are our monogrammed bows, which you can stick on a headband. Her school bookstore agreed to sell the accessories. She raised enough money to pay the tuition for the girl in uganda and many others, as well. These are photos of some of the girls mary graces handiwork has helped to educate. And i started going into retail stores, and now im selling in eight different states, and so its grown a lot. Hi, sweetie. Hi how are you . Good. How are you . Good. Thanks. All right. Bring me some goodies . Yep. Heres some new bows. Great. Yeah. Lets just open this up. Oh, look at that. Its like spring in a bag. [ laughs ] dont you love it . So, why did you decide to carry mary graces hair accessories . I was walking down the street for the Sidewalk Sale one day, and i came across her display and her bows, and i had to have them. I totally fell in love with them. I love the concept. I love the color combinations. I love the fact of what she was doing benefited so many other people, and it was just it was the perfect fit for our store. Theyre incredibly popular. People love it. What do we say . You look fabulous, sweetheart. So, what do you think about your headband . Its cool. Its comfortable. So, did you know that youre supporting a really good cause and helping girls go to school . Yeah. So, what do you think about that . Its really, um its nice. And it helps them a lot. Mary grace has accomplished a lot, but what about the future . My goal is to reach 100 girls, and so im now at 32, and im almost there, just step by step. Its amazing how some thread, glitter, and sparkle, along with a lot of creativity and hard work, can make such a big difference in so many lives. For teen kids news, im diyu. This weeks driving tip is brought to you by the National Road safety foundation. [ indistinct conversations ] cool party. What do you guys want to drink . Can i have a headon collision with a concussion twist . [ tires screech ] [ crash ] make mine a fatal accident with no survivors. [ tires screech, siren wails ] [ crash ] and you . A designated driver, please. You know, just a bottle of water. Awesome youre a lifesaver heres a pop quiz. Whats meant by pop culture . Ill pop back with the answer when teen kids news continues. Want to be the best you can be . It all starts with being healthy. As youre about to see, its pretty easy. Thirsty . Before you swallow all the slick advertising, there are some things that you should know about what you drink. Jax hubbard is a nutritionist. Hi, jax. Hi, there. Jax, are all drinks created equal . Absolutely not. The two big things to be concerned with are sugar and caffeine. Caffeine makes you jittery, and contrary to popular belief, less alert. It also can cause headaches. Sugar is just downright unhealthy. In addition, sodas and other sweetened beverages can really pack on the pounds. What about Energy Drinks . Those can be full of sugar, too. Get energy from food instead. Drinks should be for hydration. You even need to limit juices and sports drinks. Well, gee, whats left . Personally, for me, theres Nothing Better than a nice, tall glass of water. Since teens need lots of calcium, think lowfat milk. Seltzer and club soda are good options, too. Its been said that we are what we eat. When it comes to beverages, i guess you can say, i drink, therefore i am . Ouch. Was that a sip of the tongue . Ouch back at you. Anyway, thanks, jax. With health bites, im ellie. Not far from where the Baltimore Orioles play ball, theres a Museum Dedicated to all kinds of play. Geppis Entertainment Museum is dedicated to pop culture. Pop culture is popular culture. Its movies, radio, television, books, comics the gamut of all the things we enjoy. Games and toys are a part of pop culture, too. This amazing array of artifacts all belonged to a man named stephen geppi. His collection got to the point where he looked at it and said, i like this stuff, and i hear from a lot of people that they like this stuff, so why dont i put it out so everybody can enjoy it . So, what are the top five things that teens shouldnt miss when they come here . Well, scott, let me show you. Come on. As you can see, on the walls of our museum, we have several pictures spanning the eras of each room 1928 leading into 1945 over here. Because the exhibits are organized by date, you can see how our culture changed through the years, like the dawn of the Television Era in the 1950s. Also over here we have the 60s revolution. A lot of fun stuff going on in there. And 1971 to 1990 is where the first surprise is. The numberfive artifact is whats called a onesheet the kind of movie poster displayed in a movie theater. If youre a star wars fan, youll see theres something strange going on here a poster for a movie before its title changed. Original title of return of the jedi was supposed to be revenge of the jedi, and before they had a chance to make this decision, they had already promoted the movie as revenge of the jedi for a short period of time. I wouldnt have known one of my favorite movies had a different title before. Oh, when i was a child, that was commonplace on the playground to talk about why revenge got turned to return. People said that a jedi would never, ever want to have revenge. It was too hostile a force for the buddhaesque jedis. In our next room revolution, 1961 to 1970 we have a very special, very fun, very handson number four rock em sock em. Robots. Hey, i remember this game. But i didnt know its been around since the 60s. Not only has this game continued to be replicated into the present day, but at the time, you knocked my block off became a classic saying. You knocked my block off. Attraction number three is for kids who ask, how can i be strong like a superhero . The answer is. The superman golden muscle building set. Wow 1954, peter puppet playthings a wonderful musclebuilding kit that not only has everything you need to become big and strong, but also shows that superman will personally fly into your house and show you how to use his superman muscle building set. Well, i can quit my gym membership. [ rim shot ] dont go away. Well be right back with the top two attractions at geppis Entertainment Museum. Were at geppis Entertainment Museum, also known as the museum of pop culture. Andy is the museums assistant curator. Weve been counting down the top five attractions that teens shouldnt miss when coming to visit. Number five was the star wars poster with the discarded movie title. Number four the battling rock em sock em robots. Number three helped kids in the 1950s spring into action with supermans muscle building kit. For our next piece number two one of the great scifi toys. This was actually one of the first toys that tied in directly to a newspaper comic strip. The toy gun is 80 years old. To protect the metal, andy wears gloves. When this item was introduced at macys, they expected it would be popular. But they didnt expect 5,000 people would line up to get it. This is the buck rogers xz31 rocket gun from daisy manufacturing 1934. [ gun cocks ] the geppis Entertainment Museum got its start with a collection of comic books. And thats where we end our tour a case full of comics, each introducing a famous character for the very first time. For our number one. Number one. A story in four colors our comic room.

Rareedition comic books like these have sold for millions of dollars. [ Cash Register dings ] the Pop Culture Museum is fascinating. Youll not only get a kick out of it, so will your mom and your pop. [ chuckles ] at the geppi Entertainment Museum in baltimore. Im scott for teen kids news. Well hear from teens who are speaking out about the way they speak, when we return. If you saw the movie the kings speech, you saw how difficult life can be when you have a stutter, even if youre royalty. As tough as it is for adults, it can be agony for teens. In fact, some kids avoid speaking because theyre afraid of being made fun of. But carina tells us about an organization that helps kids who stutter find the confidence to speak up. You might be surprised at how many famous people have had to cope with stuttering. James earl jones the voice of darth vader. Action actor bruce willis. Actress marilyn monroe. Demosthenes one of the greatest orators of the ancient world. Its even believed that moses stuttered. According to experts, 3 million americans stutter, and many of those are kids. Thats why this gala event is so important. Its an annual fundraiser in support of an organization for kids called our time. Welcome to our times 11th annual benefit gala [ cheers and applause ] our time is a place where you can just be yourself without anybody interrupting you, and and you dont have anyone, like, saying, oh, you talk funny, or, oh, youre stupid just because you stutter. It is it is such an honor to share the stage with you acclaimed artists. Our time started as a theater group. Using the creative arts, like performing on stage, is one of the ways our time helps kids become more comfortable being themselves. Do you need a hug . I might. Yeah, i think i do. Thank you. [ applause ] its just so cool to, like, come to a place every saturday thats, like, safe, kind of, and theres no, like, threat of, like, teasing or, like, hazing, all that. Its just its just a very positive environment. These kids need a positive environment because their stutter puts them at the mercy of mean people, even those who should know better. There have been have been times where, like, people, like kids, teenagers, adults have, like, mocked it and then picked on it, and yeah, it does hurt. Im not gonna lie. I still get bullied today in school. Its a difficult thing to go through, especially as a young person who stutters, and youre gonna just shut down and stop talking. But not if our time can help it. Thats why the real stars on this red carpet are the kids who have the courage to not let their stutter hold them back. This years event was called worth the wait because stutterers constantly struggle against ignorance and impatience. People finishing their sentences. Kids giving them dirty looks. Kids not being patient, and, like, even parents and teachers and principals. And theyll just assume that a young person who stutters doesnt know what theyre saying or isnt smart. I can tell you from working with these kids that these are some of the most brilliant, Beautiful People on the planet, and if you just really wait another few seconds, youre gonna hear everything that they have to offer the world. Our time also offers speech therapy, as well as a unique camping program in south carolina. For two weeks over the summer, campers are surrounded by people who dont see them as kids who stutter. Instead, theyre seen as kids who are just kids. The main our time programs are currently limited to kids in the new york tristate area. However, camp our time welcomes kids from all across the u. S. Even from all around the world. For more information, theres a link on our website. Stick around for my sport report. Youll be floored. bell rings they remind me so much of my grandkids.

Go call now well finish up here. Its one of the oldest sports in the world. Its also one of the most popular programs on tv, although what you see on tv is nothing like the real thing. Tyler explains. Ive played a lot of sports. Nothing compares to it. Its real intense, and you get a good workout, and you just feel better, just having that physical health. Its something ive done since i was 4 years old my dad got me into it and i started loving the sport. Wrestling is a sport. Its participated in all around the world. In the united states, we wrestle what we call folkstyle. Its participated in the youth levels, from the time kids are 5, up until theyre done with high school, and then into college. There are lots of different styles in wrestling, but they each have one thing in common. Well, the object of wrestling is to pin your opponent, regardless of the style. Folkstyle is based more on control. So, in order to score points, you constantly have to control your opponent. You have to take him to the mat and hold him down. Wrestlers earn points for their moves on the mat, but if you get pinned, all the points in the world wont matter. You could be up by 14 points, and if you get pinned, the match is over, and you lose. Matches last for six minutes, and each athlete competes in a specific weight class. Coach fronhofer says it makes the meets more fair. Thats one of the beauties of the sport, is anybody can participate. Whether youre very small or very large, theres a place for you in wrestling. And if you think wrestling is just for boys, think again. Girls can absolutely wrestle. Its an olympic sport now womens wrestling. The girls dont just wrestle each other. They actually wrestle the boys, too. When youre on the mat, youre not a girl and youre not a boy. Youre just a wrestler, and its two wrestlers together in a match. One of my friends is actually a really good wrestler 99pounder. Shes really good, and i see her beating all the boys in her weight class. I just view every opponent as just an opponent another opponent that i have to wrestle. A lot of other girls think that its weird, but im used to it. I think its just fun. It may look like the wrestlers are fighting, but theyre not. Wrestling is not a dangerous sport. Its actually a very safe sport. Because there is no, like, speed involved like if youre on a soccer field or a football field, and theres a lot of running so you have that acceleration that causes injuries. Its a contact sport, but its a bit misunderstood. Like, i thought wrestling i always thought it was kind of violent, which i didnt like, but theres a real art form to it, which i enjoy. An art form which takes dedication to master. To be a good wrestler, it just takes hard work. I mean, you can start out without any athletic ability, but if you put in your time and effort and you get good coaching, obviously then youll eventually reach your goal, i believe. A lot of times, if you run into team sports, if you have a tough loss, you can point the finger at other guys, but in this sport, its on you. So it really builds character, and it helps you focus out there, being the only one. Its a very regimented sport. It requires a lot of discipline, and although it does takake up a lot of time, it does keep you on a good schedule. You have to be persistent. If youre lazy and you slack off, youre not gonna get any better. If youd like to try wrestling, but your school doesnt have a team, coach fronhofer suggests doing some digging online. He says there are lots of clubs in communities across the country. Well, that wraps it up for this weeks teen kids news, but well be back next week, so see you then.
