    Teens React to Malala Yousafzai - YouTube

    Every day when children from developed 1st-world countries complain about going to school and having too much homework. There are people fighting for the right to go to school.

    She is my new hero.

    It's really unfortunate for the things that happened to her. So I hope that for everyone who reads this thread here, remember what other people have to go through to do something you would regard as normal; and that you have the motivation to go to school today, tomorrow, and every day. Education is the key to success.

    Don't ever stop fighting for something you believe in. Keep going.

    She is amazing. I read her autobiography and it was just wow. She reminds me to feel grateful for everything I have every day. Girls who even can go to school are ahead of most other girls all over the world.

    Malala was a natural choice for the Nobel Prize. She is an icon of progress in a region which desperately needs her, and has persisted after multiple murder attempts. I can hardly imagine her courage and dedication to her cause.

    I think it is beautiful in way, that an Indian man and a Pakistani woman both got it. And yeah she is pretty amazing.
