Do you think adults should listen more to kids? If so, why? I think that adults definitely should listen to kids more than they do, mostly for a different perspective on life. I think that kids bring a fresh, new, more modern perspective to a conversation.
Is it possible for a 9-year-old to make a better leader than a 14-year-old? How so, or why not? Yes, it is possible. It all depends on life experiences and personalities. Say a 9-year-old was raised by the president of a company who shared his experiences with his child and a 14-year-old had very little leadership...

What world leader do you admire?
I admire Oprah Winfrey because she blesses people without being a respecter of persons. She blesses people who may be financially poor as well as people who may not be financially poor but still have financial needs and make sacrifices many times overlooked by others to fulfill their dreams. Another world leader I admire is Amy Grant because she also helps people fulfill their dreams whether financially rich or poor.

Do you think adults should listen more to kids? If so, why?
Kids have great ideas that comes from being more risky than adults of handling some things. But, I rather have my mom make important decisions and teach me how to avoid bad situations. She has already been 12 before and lets me enjoy my childhood. I do want to have knowledge, but, I don't want to be a miss smarty pants and override what adults have to say. I don't know many things and even if an adult is teaching me something I already know I am not quick to say I already know that because they...

Do you think adults should listen more to kids? If so, why?
Like I said before, I feel that there should be a balance. Many kids have great ideas, but if adults only listen to kids all the time, we will be in a messy situation. Too many kids aren't well-informed enough to make good decisions. To some degree, kids need to be kids and see things in our innocent light. That is one of the best parts about being a kid. As we grow up we understand more and can make more educated decisions. Our points of view should be heard, but there is a reason for adults...

Do you think adults should listen more to kids? If so, why?
YEAH!!!!!!!! Because as children we are taken for granted almost every time when we can, and have the ability to, make good decisions. Not to mention that kids tend to, most times, see each others as equals.
Is it possible for a 9-year-old to make a better leader than a 14-year-old? How so, or why not?
Yes. It's possible because I truly believe that it does not necessarily matter of what age you are for you to make a difference. If a 14-year-old can do something more efficiently than a 34-year-old,...
