From the shopkeeper&#8217;s view on inflation to my classmates&#8217; opinions on the genocide in Gaza, every voice, thought and opinion counts. It is these voices that then come together to create the narrative of the entire society. I like to think that society is not made up of people but of various opinions and thoughts and these opinions travel through generations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tan-background-color has-background\">I am a part of Generation Z or GenZ. We&#8217;re known for our slang, humor and our ability to simplify complicated problems. We are also a very active generation, from connecting with ourselves (insert manifestation and random crystals) to connecting with the world around us (why do I know random American pop culture moments?), were unmatched in our ability to understand and share the knowledge of the world around us. This is exactly what I am doing here, trying to connect with myself and my talent as a writer and trying to understand and share the knowledge of the world around me with whatever information I have. So while one may not agree with my opinions or just find them plain false, I would encourage everyone to use this platform with me and feel free to critique me because mine is not the only view that matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tan-background-color has-background\">Starting this journey of exploration and expression, I will try to cover my views on a range of topics, from social justice to experiences I have personally had. I want this blog to be a way for me to remind myself how lucky I am to have my thoughts and opinions and how privileged I am to be able to tell them to the entire world and whoever will listen. I have a voice and its time I use it in a bigger and better way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is anything I have learned from the past 2 years of my life, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"iawp_total_views":37,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-introduction"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Every Voice Matters. - Teentakes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/teentakes.com\/?p=918\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Every Voice Matters. - Teentakes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If there is anything I have learned from the past 2 years of my life, [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/teentakes.com\/?p=918\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Teentakes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-09-30T18:24:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-10-16T09:02:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"teentakes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@teentakesblog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@teentakesblog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"teentakes\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"teentakes\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/81fbd5190fda8cf5236d4008ef9993b1\"},\"headline\":\"Every Voice Matters.\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-09-30T18:24:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-16T09:02:49+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918\"},\"wordCount\":319,\"commentCount\":5,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Introduction\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918\",\"name\":\"Every Voice Matters. - Teentakes\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-09-30T18:24:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-10-16T09:02:49+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/?p=918#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Every Voice Matters.\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/teentakes.com\\\/\",\"name\":\"Teentakes\",\"description\":\"Voices, Verses, and Views: Teens&#039;
