This website will tell you all about the issues in this world, and the Teen Activists doing something about it. But what are the world issues, and who are the people doing something about it? How are they different from the normal kid? Learn all that and more.
Welcome to Teen Activists
Malala once said, "One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world." Every teen activist out there realizes something like that quote. Teen activists are amazing kids/teens that see a problem and take actions to solve it, they stand up for what they believe in, start movements, and change the world, never giving up.

Never Giving Up |
Teen activists are often inspired people that choose to do something about the world. Take for example, Craig Kielburger. He was inspired by another teen activist, Iqbal Masih to resolve the problem of child labor. And Malala herself. The story goes, she saw some poor, in need people, and uttered one of her most famous quotes, "I want to make this world perfect."

Some teen activists just never give up. For example, Malala. She started out as a normal school girl, at least, until she could no longer go to school. Then, she started to speak out at the Taliban for not allowing girls to go to school. She then received death threats, and warnings saying that she would be harmed if she didn't stop. As she states in the video below, at first she was more afraid for her father. She didn't really believe that the Taliban would be heartless enough to hurt a girl. But then she was shot on a bus, a wound to the head. But after recovery, instead of being deterred like some people might have been, she still spoke up for girl's rights. It's unbelievable how she doesn't give up no matter what.
