Find the one thing you're really passionate about, and do that.

You are a young person who would like to make a difference in today’s world. That’s natural. When we watch TV, read the newspaper, and look around ourselves even in our daily lives, we see things that distress us; violence, poverty, injustice, sexism, racism, you name it, there are problems in this world, and we would all like to see some real changes. The problem is how to get things rolling. Everyone seems to have their own interests and focuses. People are really busy these days! How can we get people to work together on a local, national or even global scale to bring about progressive change? Of course you may have heard about celebrities who speak up on certain issues. You may know about people in your city who have cleverly pursued an issue to help change come about. These people are fairly rare. What really gets change happening is groups of ordinary people working together in an organized and inspired way to learn about, understand, and develop plans about issues; and who then start acting to bring about change. The key is working together, what union activists call solidarity, and this is possible today more than ever before. One of the greatest tools available to activists today is the internet. Never before in the history of the world has there been such a resource for information and communication available to so many people who are working to improve our world. Instead of isolated individuals or groups trying to solve a problem, now we have access to experts and veterans of past struggles. We find solidarity all around the world for the issues we care about. Also the voices of youth are a driving force in activism especially now in the world of organizing on the internet. When we use the Internet for our research we must be careful because many people post their personal opinions or only know a sliver of the whole story.

You can change the world by just being yourself and be nice to people in your own special way. Take some can goods to shelters and help feel the hungry people out their. Buy a blanket or some warm clothing for the homeless people or just give away what you don't wear anymore. It made my heart overwhelmed when I did those things. It feels real good to help others who are in need.

in what sense you want to change the world? well, i'd say don't waste your time. your life is too short for that. changing the world is an ongoing process and takes ages. just bring a good change in your circle of friends and family. That will in turn change their circles and so on....

Work on your own issues. If everyone did that, the world would be a better place.

Even better would be to give your life to Jesus and let Him live His life through you. That'll change the world!

You change yourself. Observe your greed, anger, pride, jealousy, fear (stupidity). You have to see this and totally stop it.
This is the texture of the selfish mind. Dissolve all these and you are changing the world.

Change yourself (or your perspective of the world).

Not much really. Human nature will continue to be what it is.

Look at Gandhi and what he accomplished. Now India is nuclear and constantly skirmishing with Pakistan.

Just enjoy life.

Realize your true potential:
*Exercise *Study *Read

Show mercy and forgiveness, and allow others to do the same.

Do the right thing, just because ...

Develop your sense of justice, and have the courage to see it done.

Random acts of kindness. You never know who it will touch.
or, if you are up for something really hard, be a math or chemistry teacher. My chem teacher inspired me beyond words.
and Yes, i have told her so!!
