Chapter 3: Teen Activists

The bully is normally very well known; someone who is just as, if not more, guilty is nearly undetectable. This person is a bystander, and according to Tales of Bullying, being a bystander is just as bad as bullying. Bystanders just join in on the laughing. They don’t even help; they just watch bullying like it’s some sort of comedy show. Bystanders can also be people who are just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They can just as easily turn into a person who stands up to bullies, but they don’t. In the end bystanders are just as, if not more, guilty than the

Teen activist help the world. They do what no other people can do. They all have incredibly accurate standpoints.They don't need to help they want

Many teen activist aren’t very different from each other. They have common qualities that help them be a better activist. These common qualities help them be better at what they do and help them make the world a better place for those who are experiencing the problems of what the activist is fighting against. Some examples of common qualities that activists have, are that they give up their personal time to fight for their cause, or that they have compassion for those around them. They can be very brave as well.

Around the world, many people are afraid to speak their minds. Teen activists inspire people. They are believers who want to change the world. They want to stand up for something that they believe in. What they do for people is very beneficial. They all have motivations for what they do. These teen activists all persevere and do all that they can to get their point out to the world. They all help people along with them selves. I noticed that they will never give up and they will try their hardest. For example, Malala was shot through the head with a bullet. Although that happened she didn't give up. Alex has been helping with the environment since he was in fifth grade. He probably went through some tough choices and difficulties,

A teen activist is a young person or teen that wants to change the world for the positive. They are courageous and willing to take risks. Teen activists are passionate about what they are trying to make right or who they are helping. And lastly, activists are resilient or able to accept failure and learn from them, and try again.

In addition Alex Libby fights for Bullying problems. He was once bullied and does not want it to happen to others. Alex Libby said it best when he stated, “I stand for the silent.”

Do you know what teen activists are? Teen activists are people who stand up for what they believe in. Just like Malala Yousafzai, Faye Carey, and Emily Rigel. Every single one of these people will have obstacles in their way but they never give up for what they think should be right in the world that makes them very brave. If you want to be a teen activist you have to accomplish all of those things.

Teen activists get help in many different ways. They get help because they know they can't do it by themselves and when there are more people more work can get done. For example you can get help from parents or other adults just like Malala Yousafzai or Alex Lin. Another way to get help is by the teen activists friends, or other teen activists willing to help two people who did that were Alex Lin and Craig Kielburger.

Have you ever heard of a teen activist? If you haven’t, you will today. A teen activist is a kid or a teenager who wants to change the world. They fight for what they are passionate about. They go through tough obstacles along the way but don’t give up what they love. They do this because they want to change the world. Some teen activists are Malala Yousafzai, Alex Libby, and Alex Lin.

To start off, the first reason why all teen activists have different traits is that they are all optimistic. For example, Alex Lin is optimistic because he wants to make the world a better place. I know this is true because according to the article “Alex Lin Teen Activist” it said that he recycles computers around the U.S. Also another teen activist Faye Carey is optimistic

Can one teen really change the world and make it a better place? At least certain teens try and that’s why we call them teen activists. Teen activists fight for a cause that is important to them and other people in similar situations, or facing similar challenges, or simply seeing an opportunity for change. They work in very different ways and use different communication channels, such as; social media, newspapers, and interviews to reach their target audience. Christopher Yao, Alex Lin, and Shawn De Angelo all started their activism as teens.

Most teen activists face some kind of problem physical or mental abuse be for or while making a difference and they get set back , but they speak out about it. Activists are people with a lot of passion and they like to take on challenges , also some get hurt in the process of helping. Then they work even harder and stand up for what is right. Also teen activists have a reason to do something good for others.Teen activists are challenged with physical / mental abuse and they stand up for it. Malala tried to get stopped by the Taliban. Iqbal was chained up to a wall making carpets. Also Alex Libby got bullied by boys at school and he still spoke out about it.

Teen activism a problem in our daily life community. Meaning in we need to speak up and adults need to raise kids voice too. Take it from me I am a kid and I have a strong opinion on things too. Just take a look of these three incredible stories. One, Alex LIbby and his story on him speaking up to his parents on being Bullied. Two, Malala Yousafzai and her struggles to get attention. Third, Laura Cock and Rebeka Kahaft wanting to help save the planet and be environmentalist. Kids need help of adults to have a voice so adults help, help the weak voices or the voices people don’t care to stop and think about.

A few of the characteristic about teen activists is that they have to be determined, relentless, and they may have to risk

Bullying can be experienced in several forms such as physical, verbal, social or cyber. All bullying is composed of three specific concepts—causing their victims harm, possessing greater power than their victims and repetition (Oh & Hazler, 2009). Bystanders play perhaps the most vital role in bullying (Oh & Hazler, 2009). Bystanders can help the bully (‘assistants’ or ‘reinforcers’), remain passive and non-interceptive (‘outsiders’) or they can be ‘defenders’, which are individuals who intervene using prosocial behaviours, meaning that they voluntarily act in ways that benefit others (Oh & Hazler, 2009; Thornberg, 2007). Statistics suggest bystander’s use only 25% of their time to intervene and defend the bully
