"Puberty Power: What High School Studnets Have To Offer
Superficially, high-school students are often seen as powerless. As minors, they can't vote and thus don't have the presumed value tat comes with being a constituent. They don't have the right to organize their life the way they'd like: they often have curfews, mandatory attendance in school until at least age sixteen, and what they learn at school is dictated to them by conservative national norms and requirements, such as abstinence-only sex education or science classes that teach creationism along with evolution.
A more positive and accurate assessment of high-school students is that they are unique as social change-makers. Their power is under the radar and those restrictions can also be interpreted as freedom from mundane responsibility. High-school students have time to spare and are not yet jaded. They typically aren't Democrat or Rebulican yet: they are unlabeled and free to create their political identity. Meanwhile, they have to convene with hundreds or more of their peers 250 days a year for four years, which is ideal for organizing and building networks."
There is so musch we high schoolers have to offer. What we migt consider holding us back from doing what we want to do or being what we want to be, could ultimately be our greatest advantage in being advocates of social change!

One of the primary goals I have for this blog is to help answer the question "What can I do?". Often times as a united states citizen, I get feeling helpless. At times I feel there is nothing I, a fifteen year old, can do to change the system. Health care should be free to everyone. What can I do about it? The book "Grassroots" gives many suggestions for this. One of the things it talks about is starting your own organization (or club at school). The book gives many examples of real individuals who did and did not succeed at this. But even the individuals did not succeed at starting up a group they all managed to raise awareness for their cause which is
one of the key major gaols of starting a group. So I want to focus in on the" How can I hep factor" by giving you an excerpt from the book that explains how someone might go about starting a group.
( A tidbit from grassroots to help answer "What can I do?")
There are six basic steps:
-gather evidence
-garner allies
-approach the administration
-suggest a solution
-follow up
-repeat as neccessary
