District 2 children are mostly raised with a warrior mindset in preparation for becoming either Tributes, or Peacekeepers. The tributes have an additional level of brutal discipline and bloodlust. They are also often described as athletic and muscular.
The Reaping
The first part of the reaping has the escort choose one male and one female tribute from eligible youth between the age of twelve and eighteen. Once they have been introduced, the escort then calls forth all possible volunteers.
These volunteers then cast their names into two new pools-one for males and one for females, from which the already chosen tributes draw the names of their substitutes.
Volunteers are mostly children entered into one of the tribute academies, where they train multiple years to later compete in the Hunger Games. The training is so hard and ruthless that student deaths or suicides are no exceptions. Is a student isn´t chosen as tribute for the games, he or she is automatically enrolled as a peacekeeper, as not to waste precious resources.

District Info:
After the first rebellion, District 2 was rewarded for its loyalty by the creation of the Nut-a mountain functioning as the Capitol's military command. This not only brought the district favour with the Capitol, but resulted in the increase of living conditions.
While people living in the small villages accompanying each of the vast quarries are still living in relative poverty, those based around the centre doing fine and intellectual work have risen far above the old standard.
The Nut also brought a new world view, however, as citizens are now encouraged to prove their loyalty by enrolling their children in capitol financed academies, where they train to become future tributes and peacekeepers.
With the peacekeeper force in power, it is no wonder that the whole district takes up concrete capitol-like architecture, consisting of sharp clean angles and function-based designs.
