Blogging For Change

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.

One

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.

Two

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.
