Tabitha Rouzzo, 17, lays on her bed with not much to do after being grounded by her mother in New Castle, PA on April 21, 2012. The energetic life she leads is at school with her friends and staying busy. She participates in school plays, track and field, works part time and attends youth ministry and church. Being grounded by her mother, having her cell phone taken away for a month means boredom and proves to be a deflating but effective punishment. Rouzzo is maining good grades in hopes of a scholarship to boost her out of New Castle which is a shrinking, post-industrial town. (photo by Linda Davidson/The Washington Post)
