Teens and kids are supposed to be the future of the world. Hackneyed old phrase, isn't it? But what if it's really true? Do you believe that teens can really make a difference to the world and make it better ... answer with your opinions (no cynicism please!)
Peace

I absolutely think that teens can make a difference. They bring a unique perspective to the table, which is realizing how the world is in many ways without being discouraged by the belief that that's the way things always will be. They bring an enormous amount of innovation and energy to any cause they lend their minds to. Teens have started businesses, helped parents to tweak their businesses, and done VERY much for various volunteer organizations.
To make a difference, I'd suggest to any teen to take something they're interested in and find an organization that works in that area. Volunteer your services as an intern to that organization so you can learn what goes on in that field on the front lines while helping the organization! :)

Teens and kids aren't supposed to be the future of the world, they ARE the future of the world whether they want/like it or not. All we can hope for is that a good percentage of them step up to the plate and take it on. Teens can not only make a difference in the world, they will have to.

Hmmmm.... let's see................ I'd say NO!!!
Seriously.. I don't think Teens can make a difference in an Adult world... unless they act like adults and solve adult issues that are pressing in this world.
I remember being a Teen...and I knew it would be hard to make a difference in the world...so I waited until I wasn't a teen to start making a difference.. Have fun...don't worry about making a difference so early... (Unless you're a freaking Genius with the answer to Time Travel or Cure for all Cancers..I'd stick to whatever Teens do these days to have fun)...
That's my honest opinion

Definitely! Teens CAN and DO make a difference. It all starts with a first step. Some say teenage years can be tough, so it helps to have a role model to look up to. Everyone who has reached adulthood has gone through teenage years. So they can be asked for guidance. A teen discovers what he or she is good at, what to improve. To make a difference, teens should make use of their talents and share to the world. Teens, believe in what you can do and follow your dreams. Wish you the best!

YEAH! They can bcuz everything parents do do it 4 their children. and if all the teens in the world unite and pressurize their parents to do any thing lyk say tell bush 2 take a hike then theyll do it. TEENS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I believe dat teens should kick out these dumb gud 4 nuthin politicians and take their place then the world can be a better place bcuz unlike them teens are not selfish and softhearted.

Yes, stop the current cycle of disrespect for authority and lack of responsibility by parents. Get out there and organize your friends to do good deeds. Most of all, help push kids to achieve. Beginning with my generation, kids have spiraled into a place where expectations are lower than ever and they still cant make them because parents suck, we are touch and feely, and kids are not held accountable for disrespecting people, and they have a completely unjustified sense of entitlement.
You have to fix the people before the people can do good. But, yes teens can be powerful if they organize

Teens and kids are the future of the world just as they have been right the way through the history of mankind.
Every generation can be acclaimed as doing something good for the world.
We were all young once!

definitely. if you talk with your elders you'll find that there isn't much new under the sun and when they were teens folks were saying the same thing back then. i see teens everyday that take themselves and the contributions they can make very seriously. they're serious about social issues, they know about social issues, they do what they can to create a positive change, they're serious about their education, family life....there tons of things many teens are doing that are on a positive track. its only the handful that impact society negatively and put all teens in a negative light.

We grow up in this horribly polluted world and shouldn't that stir our thoughts? It has mine, and I am on a mission to become more green. Each and every one of us can make a difference and I'm trying to make mine. So, yes, I do believe that teens and kids can make a difference, depending on how much thay care, as every little helps (like Tesco say)!
