Everyone dreams of changing the world. But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it?
Michael Norton's book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter (庇护所) and planting a tree.
The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence (影响) other teens to do something.
Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees. “It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace," Anthony said.
Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same idea." Giving is our way of repaying those who help us," she said." Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to make their day or life better."
But how often do teens see peers (同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone?
According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed.
"I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people," Anthony said." Humor is also a great tool."

In the past time，many classmates often couldn't bring good box meal to school，so did my deskmate（同桌）．His meal was always the black fermented soybean（豆酱）while mine was often beef and chicken， quite different from his．Every time my deskmate would first pick up the hair from his box meal and eat his meal as if nothing had happened．This uncomfortable thing continued all long．
"His mother is so lousy（讨厌的）that even her hair drops in the meal．"My classmates talked about it secretly．I felt that was too dirty． So my impression（印象）on him began to decline（下降）greatly from then on． One day after school，he invited me to visit his home．Though I wanted to refuse him，I didn't do that because it was his first invitation since we were in the same class．
