I am a passionate teenage girl who currently lives in the USA. Recently, my attention has been drawn to various political issues, such as environmental sustainability, gender inequalities, racial prejudice, the rise of AI, and more, and I feel incredibly compelled to write about my personal, teenage experience in a world that is slowly turning it’s back on me. Now, more than ever, it is important to listen to the voices of the people affected by new policies and politics. My credibility does not come from years of research and studying, but instead comes from my personal experience. Anecdotal as it is, it is still of value, and I’m sure many people, especially those like me, will be able to relate to my words.
