Ok, I admit it - i sometime read the Guardian..... I also admit to sometimes reading the Daily Mail [analyse that for me someone......]
Anyway I really loved this article about teenage girls (& boys) taking on big issues of the day from the power of the porn industry to benefits changes

I have teenage girls and love their 'challenge the world' outlook. Gotta admit it brings a smile to my face that what some see as their naive teenage passion, mixed with todays social media tools, could just change culture in a ways we didn't think possible or that we as adults wouldn't date to consider.
Go girls!
You have to remember that these are the next adults and they should think they can change the world becaue collectively they can.
What is more disturbing is your admission to reading the Daily Mail surely that was just to get a reaction!!!
I think its disgusting and degrading and shouldn't be tolerated.
Anyway, enough about you reading the Daily Mail. These girls should be applauded for their stance. I just think its a shame that when a woman stands up for something, they immediately get labelled as feminists. Sometimes its just a healthy balanced view.
