Everyone lives on the same planet, but we all come from different worlds. From saying you are going to kill yourself if you have to go to school, to getting killed because you went to school.

The lessons that are taught through experience are usually the ones that stick with children for a lifetime. In Toni Cade Bambara's “The Lesson”, Miss Moore, a prominent character in the story, teaches a lesson to underprivileged children growing up in Harlem. Bambara's work is described as “stories [that] portray women who struggle with issues and learn from them.” (Vertreace, Par. 48) Bambara uses Miss Moore and her characteristics to teach Sylvia and the other children about social inequality and the idea of pursuing personal aspirations regardless of social status. Miss Moore has many admirable characteristics; she's intelligent, patient and caring.

She did not morally agree with her government’s treatment of women, so she fought for her beliefs.

Malala created awareness around the world of the situation and stood up for her rights to education.
She shows a need through explaining why AIDS and HIV are a problem. She describes that people think they are safe from these diseases because they aren’t a black or gay male. She then tells her own story and tells people that she should have been safe but she still got AIDS because it doesn’t care who you are, it will come after your family. She tells of the nation’s efforts, but says that people must try to understand
In I am Malala it shows that she was willing to die for her rights and everyone else’s. When she started to go to school, she knew the dangers but she kept going.Her honor was so big that the Taliban thought it would gather supporters and so they shot her.Her strength was enormous she had to fight her way to the top so she can be heard.“We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.” (malala) She also had to fight the fear of the threats.“The extremists are afraid of books and pens, the power of education frightens them. they are afraid of women.” (malala)

Instead of going with everyone else and turning the other way and not caring she protested against the government! She got turned down many times however, that didn’t stop her. The words she says as a young teenager, a strong grown up can’t even say. “I have the right to attend school: we are all citizens of the Republic, we have the right to fight for our rights. Each person’s strength is not very small, but very great! Everyone may have to change the world! (Butts 1). This shows you that teenagers think large and blithe. They care for what is right and if you do try to stop these dedicated teenagers it will just make them stronger. Zhan Haite just wanted to go to school and did not think it was right. When they told her she couldn’t register for school, she took her protest to the front of the school registration building. Then she began writing a microblog, posting on a site called Weibo. She wasn’t hesitant or petrified of this huge countries government, even know many people thought she was crazy. This really shows that teen activist don’t stand by they stand up for what is
