This week, Deseret News teen reporters asked their peers, "What do you do on the weekends, whom do you do it with and why?"
"On the weekends I like to skate and hang out with my family and friends. The weekends are for friends, food and living." — Jon Weaver, senior, Murray High School
"I usually just hang out at home and watch a movie with friends." — JulieAnna Facelli, senior, West High School
"My weekends are never the same. I am more like a social recluse. I don't really go out on weekends. I'm usually busy doing homework or something. Sometimes my friends come home from BYU, and I hang out with them." — Tannie Rains, senior, West High School
"I don't remember. I sleep a lot, I guess." — Bruce Nmezi, junior, West
"I either play 'Halo' (a video game) at my house, or I invite people over to play 'Halo.' Or we party in my basement and play 'Halo.' " — John Mark Ikeda, senior, West
"I spend time with my friends, and we usually end up at someone's house all together. We spend a lot of time driving around looking for something to do." — Jessi Carrier, sophomore, West
"I normally just play video games with my friends. Sometimes we go to a movie or NickleCade." — Cody Williams, senior, Murray
"I usually watch a movie with my boyfriend." — Erin McChesney, senior, West Jordan
"I go dancing sometimes. I don't know; it's fun." — Arturo Avelar, junior, West
"I like to rest up for my night on the town with my friends. We don't usually do anything important, but things that make us laugh. It helps me make it through the next week of real life." — Spencer Jentzsch, senior, West Jordan
"Usually I just take it easy with my family, because it helps to relieve stress from the week." — Kris Edwards, sophomore, West Jordan
"I hang out with my friends and try to find something to do. We never actually find anything to do, but we waste all weekend trying to think of something." — Marie Gauthier, junior, Murray
"I do things both with my friends and my family. We go to dinner, to movies or play games. I enjoy being with people I like." — Chalyse Roothoff, senior, West Jordan
"I hang out with my friends and try to stay out of trouble. Sometimes we go to dinner, or if we are lucky, we find a cheap punk concert." — Alison Lee, senior, Murray
"I pretty much work half of the weekend and spend the other half of the weekend trying to figure out what I will do next." — Samantha Terry, senior, Murray
