Many people think that only grown-ups can make a difference. Is it true? Teen Vogue interviewed some teenagers across the world. Get ready to be inspired (启发).
16-year-old Michael started using social media to cheer up teenagers of his age to follow their dreams on his baseball blogs. Michael also wrote about sports people and how they faced their difficulties.
Lesein first learned about climate change when he was in primary school. His home country of Kenya loses tens of thousands of hectares (公顷) of forest each year.
With a deep love of soccer, Lesein started a project named Trees for Goals, planting a tree for every goal he scored in the matches. Later the school's soccer, rugby and basketball teams all followed him. In 2019, almost 1,000 trees in forests outside of Nairobi were planted. Now the government provides trees for them to plant.
Alexis Lewis invented a wheeled travois (雪橇) with bamboo at 12 years old to help poor people who need to transport children many miles to hospitals. Another invention of hers is a special mask(面罩) which can be thrown through a window of a smoke-filled building to people inside.
Alexis said, "The reason why I try to invent something is that I want to help people in need and I love physics." Alexis also told the reporter that she wanted children to know that everybody who' s ever tried to solve a problem can be an inventor.
These young people are certainly shining examples to show you' re never too young to make a difference.
