Teen Activism Any people can become an activist. I always hear adults saying “You’re too young to be an activist” and all that other dumb stuff they say. Imagine if you’re best friend was shot at a school shooting. Would you not protest over your best friend being shot? This shows that you care for someone and want to CHANGE gun control or whatever happened that you are protesting. Protesting is when you don’t agree with what someone has done and you rally on the streets trying to change a law about what happened. Some sites that showed people about activist and people who were activists was How To Become An Activist (wikihow) and Malala(Time for Kids) . The first site that showed someone who was an activist was Malala. Malala was an activist

    When asked to write about an important activist who has demonstrated protest, I immediately drifted towards a Hispanic and/or feminist activist. Various names came across my mind initially such as Cesar Chavez and Joan Baez but as a later discussion in class concluded, there are numerous others who are rarely highlighted for their activism and struggles, which lead to me researching more.

    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.
