On Wednesday, April 27th, 2011, reporter Laura Ling will host TEEN LINE’s 24th Annual Food for Thought Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The topic for this year’s luncheon is “Middle School Meanies†, and will explore the issues around bullying and adolescent self esteem.
The 2011 TEEN LINE Humanitarian Award will be presented to Katherine Schwarzenegger and Edwin Aguilar. Schwarzenegger’s recently released book, “Rock What You’ve Got†encourages young teens to develop a healthy body image and to love their inner and outer self despite others’ comments. Aguilar, Assistant Director of Animation for The Simpsons who overcame his own difficult teen years, will be honored for giving back to the community by reaching out to young people who are troubled.
In addition, teen volunteers Jordan Bloch and Julia Winokur will receive the Teen Hero Award; Dorsa Davari and Aliza Levin the Outstanding Listener Award; and Sophie Lavet, Brooke Pechman and Emily Schenkel the Distinguished Service Award.
