Once in a while, a very savvy and smart kid makes a difference and changes the course of history. Here are six people who left their mark at a young age.
At age 13, believing she was on a mission from God but having no military experience, Joan of Arc led the French army in a major victory against the English at Orléans during the Hundred Years’ War and helped make it possible for Charles VII to regain the kingdom in 1429. Joan of Arc was captured by the English in 1430 and burned at the stake in 1431. She became a French national hero and was, at long last, canonized in 1920, becoming Saint Joan of Arc.
In 1958, at age 15, Bobby Fischer became the youngest chess player in history to be named grandmaster, the highest title possible. He had begun to attract international attention two years earlier when he was victorious in what became known as the “Game of the Century” between him and Donald Byrne. He continued to gather awards and winnings until the mid-1970s, when he went into seclusion, only to reemerge in 1992 to play one highly publicized game versus his former opponent Boris Spassky .
The Braille language for the blind was developed by Louis Braille in 1824, when he was just 15 years old. He tweaked it and expanded it after that, but, having been blind himself since the age of 3, he was inspired at a young age to conceive of a way to read and write. Braille consists of a code of 63 characters, each made up of one to six raised dots arranged in a six-position matrix or cell. The dots are embossed on paper and are read by using one’s fingers. He published the first Braille book, a three-volume history book, in 1837.
In 1951 the 16-year-old Barbara Johns initiated a student strike over substandard facilities at her segregated school in Farmville, Virginia. Her activism attracted the attention of two National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) lawyers, who took her case to court to fight for better resources and to demand equality. The case, Dorothy E. Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County , was one of five reviewed by the Supreme Court during the hearings of Brown v. Board of Education and used as evidence that segregated schools are unconstitutional.
Though she didn’t publish it until she was 21, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus when she was 18. She wrote several other well-regarded novels throughout her career, but Frankenstein became her best known and remains a classic.
In 2014, at age 17, Malala Yousafzai became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize . The young activist from Pakistan had become famous for speaking out against the Taliban and encouraging young girls like herself to pursue an education. She made her first public speech touting the cause when she was only 11 years old. She attracted international attention when she survived an attempt on her life at age 15.

This year has tested the whole world, but possibly Gen Z most of all. You left school one day and didn't return for months, if ever. You missed proms, graduations , college orientations, and more. You went from being surrounded by friends to being stuck in a house, forced to stare at a screen for hours a day, attempting to ingest the knowledge you are expected to learn. Despite all of that, young people have proven once again to be incredibly resilient. When the coronavirus hit in March, you jumped online to start small businesses from scratch and raise awareness for issues on TikTok . In May, following the senseless killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor , you flooded the streets, leading the charge to demand change. And last month, if you were too young to vote in the presidential election, you spread the word, phone-banked, and helped friends register. Meanwhile, those of you who were eligible to vote traveled to the polls unlike any generation before. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University , youth voter turnout increased by about 8% since 2016. Meaning together, Gen Z played a huge part in electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the next president and vice president of the United States.
And that’s just the beginning: Gen Z is already proving that there’s no age limit when it comes to enacting change. Every year at Seventeen, we honor the teens and young adults that are working today to save tomorrow with Voices of the Year. And this time, it felt even more necessary to celebrate the heroes of 2020. Those who, despite everything going on, continued to look around at the state of immigration rights, climate change, and media representation and said, “We can do better."
The Voices of the Year 2020 honors a group of young people under the age of 25 who see a better future and are taking it into their hands to make it happen. As one of our honorees and Black Lives Matter activist Thandiwe Abdullah, said, “The world we know right now is not something that we have to just sit back and accept...This was all someone's imagination and we can imagine something different.”
Here are 15 young people who are standing up, using their voices, and changing this world for the better.

This is a time of changes for how teenagers think, feel, and interact with others, and how their bodies grow. Most girls will be physically mature by now, and most will have completed puberty. Boys might still be maturing physically during this time. Your teen might have concerns about her body size, shape, or weight. Eating disorders also can be common, especially among girls. During this time, your teen is developing his unique personality and opinions. Relationships with friends are still important, yet your teen will have other interests as he develops a more clear sense of who he is. This is also an important time to prepare for more independence and responsibility; many teenagers start working, and many will be leaving home soon after high school.
Here is some information on how teens develop:
