Activism-a policy of taking direct and militant action to achieve a political or social goal. To put it simply, activism means to be ACTIVE in your community and society. To stand up for something you believe in and to better the world in which we live.  As Ghandi once said, “Be the change that you want to see in the world”. If you want to see something happen, you have to put forth an effort. You can’t just wait around for someone else to do it. I think it’s time for us teens to own up, to take some responsibility. We may well be the most influential generation and we need to show the adults that we can handle things. It’s time to be ACTIVE.
