Youth activism is not an emotional outburst.

In fact it arises from persistent and continuous slumber chain

that kept on bounding the youth away from free will. Time and again whenever the youth is awakened
from this slumber, they react in their own prodigal way to break away from the shackles of this continuous
oppression. Emotional outburst! Would have definitely agreed to it but when it has faded away with time.
You may quote incidents when it was a sheer outburst but then it can be counted on fingers and the
reason for decline may also be questionable in its own context. While, today taking this opportunity I can
and would supply serious reciprocals of it. These youth-led initiatives reveal that young people can be
very influential with their peers, younger peers, parents, the press, the private sector, politicians and other
policymakers.
The second city in Maryland is expected to extend voting rights to 16-year-olds. The electoral pie will be
bigger in Hyattsville when it comes time next spring to vote for Mayor and City Council members as well
as local ballot issues. It all started in Northwestern University which became a cult.

Another happening in same part of the world rebuts emotional outburst. Watsonville, California
Sanos started an initiative which later passed on as a law requiring all new fast food chains and
restaurants to offer healthy menu options in order to receive a building permit.
At age 15, Kelsey Juilana became one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit demanding the State of Oregon
reduce carbon emissions and climate warming.
Keep counting the list will never end as a 12 year old girl initiative made an entire school board changed
their clauses on compulsory animal dissection part of curriculum.
Seventh graders in Dallas, Texas documented the number of liquor stores in their neighborhood,
especially near schools. They traveled to the state legislature to present their findings. Senator West, a
strong supporter, declared The children motivated me. Im going to do all I can to help get the bill
passed. The state law was changed to allow the local zoning board to reduce the number of alcohol
outlets.
It is not about an emotional outburst rather I would coin another term here only. Its emotional awakening
which is not a short-lived phenomenon in contrast to emotional outburst. Whether it is yousuf zai malala,
hasina kahrbhih, worlds longest hunger strike by irom sharmila, Orissas whistling movement by village
women to eradicate open sanitation, bhanwari devi gang rape-victim turned to activist or going back in the
history recalling Savitribai Phule pioneer in women liberalization. Youth activism world around has
changed direction, ideology, thinking, politics, social and cultural structure of societies, even changed the
geographical boundaries. Its better not to restrict it to a feeble term when in itself it is a phenomenon!
