Throughout history, most of society likes to tear down teens and tweens, deriding them as troublemakers with questionable morals and scandalous behavior. The talented teens and tweens in this slideshow, however, go against that grain. From young eco designers to unusually powerful fashion bloggers, these talented youngsters prove that the future won’t be all bad so long as they’re in charge.
Implications - The Internet has enabled youth to take part in journalism and content creation well before they're eligible to participate in their high school or college newspaper. These teens and tweens used their age to their advantage, establishing their names in their chosen field using the power of the Internet.
