- I have been a language teacher (ESL/ELL, French) for 30 years. I have taught in public and private schools, immersion programs, refugee programs, adult/continuing education, elementary, middle, and high school as well as university. Currently I teach ELL at a high school somewhere in New England.

ReplyDeleteI think that the young people should be politically active because we are the future of the society and we need to be active, we need to share our opinion. It is good that the teenagers should lead a protest for things that they need like the peace, but they need to do it in a peaceful way. They need to be politically active even if they can’t vote because they need to share they opinion and show they needs.
At my opinion teenagers should be politically active, because they’re new generation that follows changing world. Of course adults also follow changes, but general they are not able to think about something new, some kind of revolution. Most common problem is that most of adults are using patterns of behavior from past times, the idea is “Well is used to be good before, why can’t it be good now?”. However teenagers are people who’re able to think in new way, they have new thoughts about their life, and how to improve it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, teenagers shouldn’t be political active.
ReplyDeleteAs the social media is used by teenagers a lot, teenagers might have more idea on how should adults deal with things , but we are still too young to figure out whether something’s right or not. In the end, we might end up being affected by the wrong information on line and do something really stupid. Teenagers still need to learn a lot from the society and that’s why I think teenagers shouldn’t be political active.
I think young people can't lead political protests. From a very simple point of view, most young people are young and young and make some wrong decisions. However, political wrong decisions may even cause a country to decline and it is very serious. However, young people are unaware of the problem, and most young people just follow the trend. In fact, they do not have a clear goal in mind.So I don’t think that teenagers should be politically active. What they should do is to study hard to maintain a clear mindset in order to make correct judgments.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the teenagers can make a huge change in society. Even if they can,t vote they are the future of USA. Them taking a stand now and protesting will make the future vary good. I think it is very important that teenagers are taking a specially since they are the ones experiencing the school shootings. They see a problem and they are trying to change it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion teenagers are most powerful citizens for the country where they belongs to, because they are the future of the country, even they are not adult they are mature enough to make a wise decision. Anyway they will turn adult when the time passes by and they will effect to society, and also teenager is not that stupid to make a wrong decision, because everything they do durning teenager time will effect for their future, and their is some cases which teenager made some changes back in korea, in korea high school students should go to school at 7am and the school ends around 8~9pm it is too much works for students to serve, so we didn't went to school for 1 weeks so the government made a law that every high school must end before 5pm, if i search more there will be tuns of cases, so i think teenager can participate on society.
ReplyDeleteI think these young people cannot change the social requirements. However, I am very supportive of their practice. It should be because I feel that if they have enough people, they may change.
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers should be politically active, lead protests, call for change - even when they can't vote.Because it’s about teenagers life safety.The government needs to pay attention to the opinions and safety of young people because it’s about the future of a country.Teenagers also need resist for out life.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this on social medium, and I believe they can change.Teenagers can make change, cause this is good to the society, and I know that a lot of people are trying to support this.And they can't really change this by the high school student, the whole society should support them, and I believe people will support them.People all want make the world better, so if people understand what they really want to do, everyone agree.I strongly support this, the government standing in your own perspective is to support this thing.But they standing from the perspective of the state, thinking about this matter does not necessarily support.f the gun is actually recovered, those who follow the rules will return the gun, but those who do not follow the rules will not do so. Then only those who do not obey the rules have guns on their hands. The chance of an accident is even greater. Therefore, the government should not support this thing from the perspective of the state.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that this activity will change the policy because there are still many people who are innocent. They do not kill people. I think the most likely practice is to strengthen the sense of self-protection on campus and participate in exercises more.
ReplyDeleteI think that young people should be politically active because we also need to have this awareness to defend our own safety. But this does not mean that you can do some dangerous protests. You may usher in even bigger shootings. you know? ? We should choose a peaceful way to defend, after all, our strength is still too small.
ReplyDeleteI think young people are the hope of the country, the future of the country, and the leader in social development. Although they are young, they already have the ability to think right and wrong. They have had a certain influence in society and the country. I do not think that there is now a need for firearms control. Instead, we need to improve the audit management of armed guns. For re-examination of existing gunners, firearms that did not meet the standard were re-assessed. Successful audits need to enhance their safety awareness. And I think the government needs to strengthen the protection of young people, such as police in schools and police on school buses.

ReplyDeleteFor teenagers, they gradually start take care about the polite, the society, and the country when they are growing up, but they cannot get enough information about them, so they can`t judge the policy or event in government correctly—It hard for most of them to calm down and sit down to analyze any problem totally in the society, but they are powerful, they can change the society, because they are a big part of the population of the country, and they did such things before- then they lead themselves to a worse life in almost every time. thus, I don’t think teenagers should have right to vote, to lead a protest, they must be a watcher to see and learn, voting and protesting are what they should do when they are adults, or after three years they graduate from college, stepping to society. Allowing people to complain and protest is necessary for a country, or the country will no longer be strong in a short time, but not for the young, Don`t worry, It never too late to protest they have been believed long years ago—if what they experienced in society could not erase that. Otherwise, if something government did obviously wrong, they would not the only one who stand up and say no.
ReplyDeletefrom Riccardo:
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that is important begin to develope a own point of view about politics since young.
A day young man is gonna be man and they will vote so it’s important to be conscious about their choices. It’s obvious that parents could condition your politic vision so it’s fundamental that the age that let you to vote is eighteen
from Vivi:
ReplyDeleteI think that teenagers can make a really big change in the society because we are the future. Some times maybe we are wrong but the most of the time we are just trying to have a better society and to live a better life because there is. Lot of problems in the world that include death and I think that all of that problems the solution can be speak with the person.
I think the teenagers should have right to protest and change the society. Because the most people not have wrong choice. The younger are more lively and creat more new things. Teenagers are the social's new blood. They just need to enhance the security awareness and learn more about the politics knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI believe can change the society. Most of the adults, they are numbing. They over trust their own experiences. So they will do the things that they think is “good” or even “right”. As teenagers, we are hard to change the society, we have not rights or powers to against the wrong things. But we still can stand out, we still can speak. We can make different voices. And we are a lot of people. Every teenager should make your own voice. That we can make a world a better place.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, March 24th is my birthday. I am a teenager, almost an adult. I don't think rights should be limited by different ages. We meet different kinds of people. Some of the teenagers doing and thinking like adults. But some of the adults doing and thinking like teenagers. On the other hand, we even cannot divide people with adults or non-adults. I think people should test their thinking abilities to decide if they are mature people or non-mature people to distribute their rights.
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion. Teenagers can make real change in society even when they can't vote. Cuz in this society, everyone has the equal rights. They are able to express their own ideas and achieve them for our world. Also teenagers should be politically active. They are the future of this society. They need to get enough social experience to be able to make world better. They are only next generation. But in this process. They are not mature and rational enough to make decisions by themselves. So there must be adults to guide them and tell them whether one thing is right or wrong. There is an old saying in China. “Strong youths lead to a strong nation”.
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers have a lot of power in their voices , I don’t think teenagers should have the right to vote because sometimes teenagers don’t know a lot about the things that are happening in their country
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think the teenager should be politically active. Because i think at nowadays the teenagers are have more own opinions when they look for something. They will have a new thinking about the each things. And i think sometime the society need the new things, i don’t know we can change anything, but we need to have some voices let people know. Everyone have they own thinking, the society can not to inculcate all the things, but we need to try. Because we want this big group be better. So i think they should to be politically active.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I believe that tennagers can change the world, I think tennagers should be politically active. The reason why I think tennagers can change the world because tennagers are the futureof a country, only tennagers be stronge and the country can be strong, and I think when tennagers look something they have their own view. I think the adults should have tennagers accurate guidance, I don’t suggest government give tennagers the rights to vote, because they were too young to do that, because they don’t have too much sosial experience.
ReplyDeleteI think young people can make a real change in society because they are part of the country and the future of the country. What they do deserve attention. If young people are politically active, lead protests, and demand change, then adults should think about their ideas and let them know what is right. Even if they can't vote, they can adopt their good ideas.
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers have chances to make change in society, every body have their own opinions and they have abilities to say that out to let other know. We can’t to stop what they are thinking and the right thing in theirs mind. All in all, my personal opinion is everyone have their rights to say they opinions and have chance to change society.
ReplyDeleteI think the teenagers can't make any change, because the Firearms control is stared at many years
ReplyDeleteAgo, I think if governor didn’t think this is goods, then the governor will let police stop teenagers do this, and teenagers will more dangerous, but I don’t know how good is that governor, it just my guesses.
I think teenagers shouldn't vote for important things but they should be political active. They should know the world around them, and have the power of changing the world when they grow up. I think it is good to have some protest like this but ban the guns is a really bad idea in America.
ReplyDeleteI believe teenagers can make a real change in society. But I think teenagers shouldn’t be politically active. Because young people are more impulsive and their ideas are not mature enough. They may do something wrong. They don’t have a clear and integrated thoughts. They can shake their thoughts just because of one person’s words. So I think teenagers need to study hard in the school to get more knowledge first. Then do what they want to do.
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers should be politically active because the teenager is a big part of society and they have responsibilities to make the society better and they also have right to express their opinions at the same time. Moreover, different ages have different thinking. So if we want to have a more peaceful world and make the people who live on the world feel satisfied, we need to make decisions by combining the opinions of all age groups.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinions, these matches have a small chance to make a bit change in society, but it won’t make any real change. The two major things that can make real change are public opinion and benefit. For example, one of the biggest reasons that president Trump didn’t limit guns is selling guns made a lot of money and the government get a lot taxes every year. Also, when Trump was doing election, a weapon company sponsor him a lot.
ReplyDeleteIn another way, teenagers are at the bottom of the public opinion pyramid. They can’t vote, and many people think they are too young and too naive to understand political. What’s more, teenagers are still growing, their values aren’t very complete. That makes teenagers can easiler have bias on events. Thus, teenagers opinions are being ignored most of the time. I don’t like political very much, so my opinions may be a bit aggressive. I think teenagers should pay attention to news and it is good to have own opinions, but I don’t think teenagers can make real change in society.
I think young people can make a real change in society. If young people are politically active, lead protests, and demand changes, society will notice these phenomena. Society also pays attention to young people, because young people are an important part of social development. First of all, young people's ideas or actions affect their own family. Then through media coverage of student protests. The influence of young people will increase further.
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers should participate in political activities. The age should not be a problem. Teenagers will make true change in the society. The young age will might make adult think they are too young and too simple to act in politics. But I had seen many teenagers had already acted mature enough. Some of they can even do batter decision then adult. Although student in high school can’t really change anything. But few years later, they will be come the adults. Then they can have impact on the society. So we need to creat their political interest. Teenagers should have more political influence.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion teenager can make a change in the society and some of them already did it in the past, but I think teenager should not be involved in politic because to be in the politics you need to have a lot of knowledge and you should grow up to understand things that maybe teenager don’t understand right now. It’s true that a lot of teenager have a lot of good ideas to change the world, the society but they have to have more knowledge
ReplyDeleteIs young people can really can make some changing in society?
ReplyDeleteThe first opinion in my mind when I first see this question, my answer is yes. Nowadays, the world is developing very fast, and young people can usually accept changing more easily, and young people always have more fresh idea than old people.
In another hand, young people usually lack experience, but old people usually have more experience. That will lead to young people sometimes consider is adequate. Sometime will caused some wrong decisions.
All in all, I think young people is a really big part of Whole society, and they may usually have some good idea of community development and changing, but they are still not mature enough to change the world directly.
In my opinion I suggest teenagers to attend political activities, but they must have their own ideas or own attitude.do not just follow some one. I think teenagers can change the world including the political. Because all of the people pay great attention to teenagers who are the future of the world. Nowadays the world situation change faster and faster, teenagers usually have some good and new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI think teenagers should not participate in this activity, because teenagers mature enough will affect the mind and the growth of the teenagers, so teenagers should not participate in this activity.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, society should let teenagers be political active, lead protests. Teenagers have a lot of new ideas that can make a better world. Older people may have more experience in life so they always think what they do is right but younger people are different. They are afraid of their kack of experiences so they are also afraid to voice their minds. I believe that teenagers will make a new big change in the future.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion the teenager can not control the policy and affect society. The juvenile delinquency is increasing but the government can not reduce the rate or even control the rate. The key issue is the teenager do not have the right or ability to attack the social problem. Because the teenager doesn’t have the right in the government.
ReplyDeleteI don't think teenagers should be politically active, lead protests, call for change because their minds are not mature. Their decision is not necessarily right. Teenagers should be educated at school so that they can evaluate the society correctly. Adults always think the child's decision is naive because they haven't experienced a lot of things. They also can't take on the consequences of the matter.
ReplyDeletefrom Alex:
ReplyDeleteFirst, I don’t think the teenagers can’t make real change in society. Because we don’t have real right to vote or enough knowledge to against the government or something else. But I think what the teenagers can do is affect more people to join our side and start to fight for live. If only depend on ourselves, then it might not change anything. In our history, students use to have a Strikes. It was not the main reason that the Anti-imperialist activity successful, but it gives big affected to the main anti-imperialist organization. So I think this should be how the teenagers can make real change.
from Fei:
ReplyDeleteI don’t believe teenagers could change the the society and play important role in it. My reason is that they didn’t grow up and have their own perspective for this world. Most of their idea came from what their parents, friends, teachers think. When they cannot consider something independently, they should not involve into protest, or something political. They need more focus on their study life, to be more thoughtful then they have ability to do that.
Preventing Autocracy and Tyranny The United States is a country without ancient history. As the descendants of immigrants, the history of mainstream American society began with three great documents: the Declaration of Independence proclaiming the independence and ideals of the United States; the Federal Regulations stipulating the names and associations of the United States; and the Federal Constitution. It makes the ideal of Americans a reality. As we all know, guns, I think, need different treatment in different countries, because in China, the government's control of guns has led to a drop in the crime rate. If Chinese citizens are equipped with guns, then China will easily become a battlefield. Because China does not have a good sense of consciousness and control, it is easy to be dominated by emotions.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think teenagers shouldn’t vote for the country, but they can have their present their opinions or tell the world what they think. I think some times teenagers learn stuff from where they grow up and their families affected their thinking too, so the better way for them is focus on study and learn more things from a over the world, that will open their mind. I say they can’t vote doesn’t mean they are all wrong, sometimes teenagers see more than adult.
ReplyDeleteI think we actually can make a change, cause go in the new time, live in the new world, teenagers should learn to do something. Not only cause we are young, but we are also a strong group if we stay together for one opinion; to be more shrewd, to be more politically active. Most teenagers choose to play video games, doing some first name basis, instead of take some time to change their life. Nowadays, there are 17 teenagers died in Florida, this is far from us, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t doing a thing with us, we can actually have a better life and living without fear. So, shall teenagers be more politically active? Not can we, but shall we stand here and change the world? I think it shall be so.
ReplyDeleteFrom my point of view, teenagers can definitely make real change in the society. Teenagers are the strongest force of a country. How their teenagers behaved directly influences how bright will the future of that country be. If teenagers are politically active, the world seems to be more serious about those problems, because nobody want their children get hit or be harmed by anybody in any ways. Even teenagers cannot vote, but they still get their right to speak out and call for a change.

In my opinion in the future teenager can affect society. According to the data of juvenile delinquency rate. The rate has a huge increasing from 2015 to 2018. The government should take care of the teenager and make their mind to be the guy does not want to broke the law of society.Although the problem cannot be solved immediately, measures should be taken to find possible solutions. For one thing, parents and society should be more concerned with the mental education of young boys and girls. For another, teenagers themselves should have enough knowledge of law so that they can distinguish right from wrong.
In my opinion, I think teenagers shouldn’t vote for the country, because they are not over 18, but they can tell everyone what they think , what they need. Because the children scoiety are important.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinions,I think teenagers can not make real change the society too much.The teenagers are at the bottom of the social stratum,most of them are immaturity,they don't have the right view of society.Most of their opinions are emotional or with some prejudices.So they are not fit to lead pretests.
ReplyDeletefrom Regina:
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion i think that yes, the teenagers can make a difference and a real change
in society and also yes i think that teenagers should be able to be politically active and do
protests because everyone has the right to express what they think.
I believe teenagers can make real change in society and teenagers should be politically active, Because adolescents are also members of society and they have been educated and formed their own ideas, they have the right to focus on social activities and express their opinions or ideas. Because only people who speak out can understand what the young people want or what the young people really care about.
ReplyDeletefrom Tony:
ReplyDeleteI believe teenagers can make real change in society. Gun had became a extreme serious
social issue nowadays. Last month, a 19-year-old teenager had been killed and injured 17
people by gun shooting in Parkland, Florida. The gun had changed from protecting people’s
life to killing others. The case of gun shooting happened in Florida was not the first time.
Leader in the United States needed to be response to the gun problems. Adult in society
also needed to be active to the gun problems. There were more and more gun cases
happened in the U.S. even we had been focus it a lot. It will be a right time for teenagers be
politically active about the gun problems.
First, teenagers are the future of the country. Nobody wants to go to school in an unsafe
place. Second, students’ actions can make the government and people pay more attention
to the gun issue. Third, it might not be a feasible way for teenagers make decisions on gun
problems because they are young. But at least, it is a good sign to show how bad is the
situation of gun issue nowadays.
I think young people like us should have a chance to protest for things that are damaging them such as the school shooting incident in the previous months. It made students from all around the world stand up to protest for guns controls. Eventhough they are not at the age of 18 to vote for rights, however, teenagers can make goods decisions and protest for the things that are right.
ReplyDeletefrom Greg:
ReplyDeleteI heart a lot about shooting in American’s
school, that students just come to school and started to shoot
everyone. Also I heart that it’s easy to get gun in USA. I think if
in about 1000 students will come outside and protest it will helps.
If the students will do it a few times and there will be more than
a thousand people government will see it and they will make rules
harder to buy guns. Should teenagers be politically active ? I
think not, because of young age, teenagers shouldn’t be politically
active.
In my opinion, the teenager should not join those activities. Teenager should study and they cannot affect the society because they are not strong enough. So teenager should study really hard for the ability to affect this society
