Young people have been leaders of real social change throughout history. Social movements that were driven by youth have been responsible for challenging the "status quo" on many occasions. For example, the advancement of civil rights in the 1960s, antiwar protests during the Vietnam War, and women’s rights were all movements lead by high school and university students.

A Story of Everybody, Somebody, Nobody, Anybody
Once upon a time there were four people. Their names were Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Whenever there was an important job to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Somebody's job. Everybody though that Somebody would do it but Nobody realized that Nobody would do it. So consequently, Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place.
