‘Teens Drive Smart’ with Bridgestone Program

In the last decade, the amount of teens that are connected to the world has increased twofold. While it's stellar to receive updates from ESPN on your iPhone and plug in your iPod to your stereo, it also means that young adults are more likely to get distracted with whatever they're doing. When it comes to driving safely, the proof's... Read more

The Debate Around Young Trustee's

The debate around young Trustee's has really gained some momentum and heat in recent years. This is partly due to government encouraging initiatives that promote participation from an apathetic and disengaged generation, but also, partly down to charities wanting to improve their internal governance. But the question I have is whether charities should include young people on their Boards if... Read more

In this day of mobile technology, easy access to digital cameras, and the ability to share your work through the Internet, young people are easily able to create their own media and share it.

Freedom is Only a Driver’s Ed Class Away

There were two things I wanted to accomplish by the time I hit 16; get a job and learn how to drive.

Take The Swimsuit Challenge

It started with a blog post I wrote about my frustration with swimsuits when I was 14-years-old. After growing up with a rare liver disease and undergoing two liver transplants at age 11, I had earned battle wounds that stretched the lengths of my abdomen making me less than comfortable with wearing a bikini to the pool or beach.

‘Voice Your Verse’ Loud and Clear

‘Voice Your Verse’ Loud and Clear

In my eyes, poetry is an underrated art form. Growing up, most of my classmates never really took it seriously. Sure, they appreciated the unique quirks of poets like E.E. Cummings and Shel Silverstein. Sadly, the notion of throwing onomatopoeia and metaphors into rhyming stanzas and haikus was not my peers' cups of tea. If they heard all the inspiration... Read more

TEDxTeen Proves That the Impossible is Possible

Wisdom seems to be the hardest thing to grasp when you're a teenager. Your curiosity about events and causes and movements begins to turn into a passion, but the only things you're formally taught are the seemingly-useless facts and tidbits you're fed by your parents, teachers, and other superiors in suits.
