At the recent Girls For A Change Spring Into Action Event we did a workshop about Blogging For Change... Below are some entries from girls who attended this event.. speaking their mind about being a girl, social change, and GFC.
Ruby, 16 years old
What is one thing that you want adults to know about young people that you think they don't know? I think that they don't know that even when we're annoyed at their nagging, deep down we still do listen to what they're saying.
Alexa, 16 years old
Tell me about a time when you took a leadership role an how it felt? I take a lot of leadership at our GFC meetings which makes me feel really responsible.
Margaret, 16 years old
What would you like to change in your community?
I would like to change the number of people that smoke and pollute the world and me. It makes me mad that people poison themselves slowly to develop a horrible disease. I would like to help people quit and not have people try it and get addicted.
Hannah, 15 years old
How has being in Girls For A Change made a difference in your life?
I feel very powerful because I am able to make changes in my community and make changes in people's lives.
