Should students be encouraged to participate in social activism from a young age, and why?

I believe it is important to be involved in matters that you care about. It is important to have a voice and develop your opinions .Maybe from learning at a young age your opinions will become more well-rounded as an adult.

It depends on the movement and what they are trying to promote. Different topics can influence young people's mentality, whilst others can be beneficial to them.

Students should choose their political beliefs, if they do choose to participate it shouldn't be forced on them.

Yes and no. They should be properly educated on social issues, but there should be no pressure as to how they should act in response. Those who want to participate in activism should with no pressure on eaither side.

It's fine if they're exposed at an early age but don't force them.

I believe that if they think or have a strong belief on what the matter of the question is that they should. Only if they want to though because forcing someone to do something is not right from the start.

It's up to them. They have the right to participate. First Amendment.

yes we should teach people to treat everyone equally.

I think that should be a choice for the student as if they are very passionate about something or are interested on the topic.

I think so, but only to a certain degree. Kids shouldn't be brought to mass protests or anything like that. They should be taught they can have their own opinions and stick up for them.

Students shouldn't be encouraged but still have the opportunity to go to these Activism since the students should be learning.

No, mos teenagers are not mature enough to form their own opinions on these topics so normally we just hear the teens say the same thing that the internet says

I believe that they should participate in social activism from a young age so that they are well educated about things.

Yes but only if they want to, it should not be forced.

I believe that they should be at a reasonably young age. Perhaps around the age of 15+ because then they have a good amount of knowledge on social issues to form their own opinions.

Encouraging students to participate in social activism from a young age can have many positive impacts. By exposing children and teenagers to social issues and encouraging them to take action, we can instill in them a sense of responsibility, empathy, and leadership. Social activism can inspire young people to become more engaged citizens and to use their voices to promote positive change in their communities. It can also help them develop important skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. Furthermore, social activism can help young people feel empowered and give them a sense of purpose, which can have a positive impact on their mental health and well-being. Overall, encouraging students to participate in social activism from a young age can help create a more compassionate and equitable society.

If we want a governmental system that accurately represents us, we need to make policymakers aware of what we want.

I think that they should be encouraged but I don’t think that anyone should force their beliefs on others.

I feel that students that are interested in social activism should participate but if they do not want to then we should not force them to.

Students should be encouraged to participate in social activism because it gives them a platform to voice and articulate their ideas; as well as demonstrates to students that they can have an influence on things.

Yes, it's important for younger generations to shape their own futures and participating in social activism is a great way they can do that

I think they can be encouraged, but not forced. The ones that are interested will begin to pay more attention and those are the students that will make a difference.

its okay if they want to learn about it at a young age but don't force them because they are still kids

If they want to, they can. They should not be forced and but instead form their own thoughts and opinions when ready.

Yes because it will teach them that social activism is good.

I think students should be free to do whatever they like in relation to social activism. If they want to get involved that is great if not also fine. It should be offered to students doesnt have to be forced on them.

Students should be encouraged to participate in social activism for causes they believe in. We the People are the ones who should be building this country and its policies. The more people willing to stand up for their beliefs, the better, and the more our views will be reflected in our law and culture.

I believe they should be encouraged to participate in social activism from a young age because social issues will never be improved or change if younger generations are too scared to speak out or uneducated on social topics/issues.

Yes, everyone should be vocal about their opinions even the younger generations it’s important to learn at a young age that children have their own voices and opinions.

Depends on the age, but yes that way they learn to be vocal about their opinions.

There is an importance in seeing others face to face with similar and opposing views. This brings not only a sense of community but an environment to learn and expand previous and current beliefs.

i believe that students should be able to participate in social activism but after they have entered their teens because a 6 year old has no clue about social injustices. children are naturally pure and its the parents or schools that shape the way they think for the rest of their lives.

Yes, they should be able to be involved with whatever they want

I wouldnt say encouraged but educated of people know what they want they can then be active about it.

Yes, because it teaches students from a young age to use their voice and not be afraid to speak their mind.

students should only be told about social activism and its sections, not encouraged, because they are easily influenced and will listen to the first person that gets to them.

I think the age minimum should be 16, with exceptions for advanced students (with a minimum of 10 or older).

I believe so because it gets kids excited to have their voice heard from an early age. That is what democracy is about really is getting the peoples voice heard.

Yes! students deserve theyre own voice and should get involved and help build the economy to an socially exeptable country.

we should be educated on the opportunities we have but i think that young people can be the most polarized, so start with a lot of education on what they are partaking in but also help us understand our rights to do so

The students shouldn´t be forced to participate, but they should also have the choice if they want to or not.

It depends on the age, elementary and middle school shouldn't be allowed since they don't necessarily know what's good or bad or social problems, though from the ages fourteen and up, high school level they should be allowed because we're at a better understanding of things and should have the right to freedom of speech.

I think that they should be encouraged but I don’t think that anyone should force their beliefs on others.
