Recommended: Adolescence Concepts And Problems

There is no doubt that teen activists avail to make the world a better place, the only difference is what they are doing and what they believe in. There are many different kinds of teen activists. Some are fighting for what they believe in, others for their past experiences, and some for other people. I believe that all teen activists can make the world a better place if they genuinely work hard.

Some teen activists stand up for what they believe in and what they think is right. Let's take Malala Yousafzai for example, she stood up for women and girls rights and eventually won the noble peace prize for being such an astounding human being at the adolescent age of 15. Sometimes teen activists can go through some real hardships because other people brutally disagree with them. When Malala was just 15 years of age, she was on her way home from school when she was attacked by a member of the Taliban and was shot in the side of the head. Malala survived and went on to be an amazing teen activist and kept on standing up for women's rights even after her inhumanly attack. …show more content…

He was fighting against child labor and when he went back to his country he was shot dead. This is when other people stepped in and became an activist for Iqbal. When a couple of students got an interview from Iqbal, they realized how serious this was and that they needed to step in and make a change. When they learned that Iqbal died, that just gave them even more motivation to finish what Iqbal initiated. They built a school in the name of Iqbal in Punjab, Pakistan that now 280 kids go to. I feel that this example authentically show what other people can do for

    Activism, according to the girls, is beyond protest. The research in “Rebel Girls” is focused on girls of color. In addition, the girls do not want to be associated as “special” because they do not want other youths to feel discouraged. Rather, they want them to feel as if they too can take part in social development. The reason the girl activists are regarded as “special” is because adults think that the youth does not know what they are doing....

    Teenagers play an important role in society since they are old enough to have their own opinions but aren’t regarded by adults to have opinions worth sharing. Song highlights many important ideas like teenagers have a lot to do with worldwide issues such as gun control and LGBT rights. “Like adults, teens deserve to speak and to have the opportunity to be heard, and we deserve the respect that any other adult would expect. We shouldn’t be counted out just for our age when many of us are mature beyond our years. We shouldn’t be belittled or disregarded for having the audacity to believe we can make a difference.(“Why More Adults Need to Value Teenage Voices by Isabel Song)” Song believes that not all teenagers should be stereotyped as lazy, selfish, and arrogant because their voices should be counted in society. If adults keep on neglecting on teenagers, they won’t see the amazing things that teenagers are doing right now for the

    Trying to make the world a better place, you would think would be coming from adults but most of it is coming from teens. These teens are called teen activists. I think that the good things they are doing, are for someone else, not themselves. The first reason is, Hannah Taylor, she created the Ladybug Foundation for people who don't have a home. She wasn’t doing that to draw attention to herself. She was doing it because she thought homelessness was completely wrong.The second reason is Angela Zhang “found a potential cure for cancer.” (CBS News) She wasn’t doing it to show off. Alex Scott had a lemonade stand and the money she raised, she gave to her hospital and didn’t keep it for herself. The thing they all have in common is that they are just good people. Those are the good things about all the teen activist I researched.

Some of these people have even changed the way the world looks at things. Some great leaders and examples were Harriet Tubman, Melba Patillo Beals, and Malala Yousafzai.

    For instance, during a cold winter in Florence, Antonio remembers a volunteer helping him when his central heating was not operating properly. The volunteer talked him through the task, which allowed Antonio to fix his central heating. He describes his experience as “extremely positive,” although he wishes that he could have helped the volunteers as much as they helped him. This innovation would not be successful without the aid of willing volunteers. Sasha, who lives in Ukraine, is one of the many volunteers that take the time to help people with vision loss.

    For instance, it was an extremely sunny day in Ghana, West Africa, and I had gone out to the well to fetch water. It was while carrying the bucket of water on my way back that I noticed my neighbor’s children fighting over the insufficient amount of food that they had to share. My family and I were not rich but from what I saw, I knew that we were better off than other people I knew. I carried the bucket of water inside the house and came back outside to call the two youngest children that were fighting over the last grain of food. I shared my food my food with them and though it was not sufficient for all, feeding the younger ones alone was better than not helping any one of them at all. There was only little that I could possibly do but by sharing, I had helped them in a great way, even if it was just for the time being.

    Some people still believe the myth that all teens are self-centered, and do not care about others; however, a look at what the following teens have done to help other people will make you think otherwise. First of all, many teens volunteer locally to help out in their neighborhood. For example, Daniel Kent, a teen from Indiana, started off volunteering as an eighth grader at his local library where he would teach an adult computer class. Daniel discovered that one gentleman in his class had a friend in a wheelchair who was not able to attend the classes. This is when Daniel started his program called “Senior Connects.”
