There are many Teen activists in the world. And they all have a lot in common and a lot they do different. All teen activists have to speak out to spread the word of their claim. For example, Malala Yousafzai chose to go worldwide and got on youtube and tv interviews. Alex Lin however did not he didn’t have as big of a problem so he stayed local in his community and spread the word by mouth in his community. Faye Carey like Alex didn’t go as big as Malala but she did go on facebook and started a page to spread the word through social media.

Rejection can make one feel alone, helpless, and out of place, and it’s a feeling that can make someone feel like they are no good, or that they aren’t worthy of a good life. All throughout the story, we are given examples of how the young girl is shamed and rejected. She was never accepted for who she was and this made her do things, sometimes extreme to help out her family. She knew she would never fit in, and her actions proved just that.

A teen activist is a person that sees something wrong in the world and takes everything in there power to change the world. But, it’s not easy and a long process. Like starting agencies or organizations to raise money for a cause. For example, Alex Lin. He opened up seven media centers around the world and passed a law for it to be illegal to throw away e-waste (electrical waste). Another person, is Malala she started a found to help educate kids and build schools. Teen activist also have to reach out to as many people as they can to raise awareness. Alex Libby did this by wearing a shirt that says “ I stand for the silent” and creating a facebook page against bullying. There’s also Malala that has reached out to people from TV, the news and newspapers to help kids mostly girls get an equation they need and deserve. But, the most important reason why being a teen activist is hard is because you could live in danger just like Malala and Iqbal. Malala can’t go back to her country because she might be killed and she’s already been shot in the head by the Taliban. Then,

Bullying is a phenomenon existing as long as humans exist. The fact that it didn’t have a name for years doesn’t mean that it wasn’t a widespread way of behavior, in cases where two different types of people were involved ; the strong and the weak ones.Although bullying is considered as a form of aggression, or in some cases as an infringement of the human rights, “bullying is commonly regarded as an aspect of aggression”. (Roland and Idsoe, 2001), there are significant differences between them , the most important of which that “bullying is different from peer conflict. It is conflict between individuals that do not share equal physical and / or psychological power. Bullies are usually stronger and victims are usually perceived as weaker and unable to protect themselves.” (Masterson,1997) Bullying expands in many aspects of everyday life; from schoolchildren and teenagers, to adults , working environments and even spouses and family members. Considering that the first signs of bullying appear among schoolchildren, we should examine it in its infancy, that is, bullying in early years and school life, which in turn becomes with the passage of years violence and in some cases even crime.

Is there someone in your life who wants to make a change? Teen activism is about people who believe and stand up for what is right. Teen activists try to change the world with their words.

This article explains what is bullying exactly. Bullying is any form of psychological, verbal, or physical abuse that occurs repeatedly among schoolchildren over a period. Statistically, the dominant type of violence is emotional and occurs mostly in the classroom and courtyard of schools. Bullying is a kind of torture, methodical and systematic, in which the aggressor sums up the victim, often with silence, indifference or complicity of other comrades.

If you're looking for an amazing movie and looking to become someone in the world, but no one understands, then you have the same connection as...Adonis Creed.
