Malala, Malia & Sasha Obama, Others, Make Time’s 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 List
Time magazine recently released its 2014’s 25 Most Influential Teens list, including the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, 17 year old Malala Yousafzai, Obama’s daughters, Malia and Sasha, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s son, Jaden, and Kim Kardashian’s half-sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, amongst others.
Noting some of the teens on the list, Eonline reports:
Let’s just say these superstars are certainly making an impact on the world! Malala Yousafzai, for example, just recently became the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for her her tireless activism on behalf of women’s education. Rookie founder Tavi Gevinson, 18, also makes the list for having created an online magazine for teenage girls that gets roughly 3.5 million hits a month. Kylie Jenner, 17, and Kendall Jenner, 18, made the cut as well, with Time citing their clothing and nail polish lines and young adult novel, Rebels: City of Indra, the Story of Lex and Livia. Kendall’s individual success as a model is also factored in, as is Kylie announcing her own hair line.
There are many more familiar names on the list—like Austin Mahone, 18, Chloë Grace Moretz, 17, and not surprisingly, Lorde, 17.
Jaden Smith, 16, makes the list as well, with Time admitting “his real legacy may well be his Twitter musings, which are equal parts absurdist (“Anything You See In Any Magazine Ever Is Fake.”) and insightful (“Once You Witness A Cycle Enough Times You Step Out Of It.’)”
Mad Men‘s Kiernan Shipka, 14, lands a spot on the list, and unsurprisingly, so do first daughters, Sasha Obama, 13, and Malia Obama, 16.
First Amongst Equals, Malala is clearly the leader of the pack. Her work clearly stands her out, positively influencing the world. Keep up the good work Malala. GBU
