Teens: Diversity

1.) Why is diversity important to you?

Because the world can feel isolating enough as it is, let alone when wherever you look you can't see anyone like you. It's so important to know you're not alone, even when you feel like you are. It helps the world grow. It means that people who are the ones who don't actively have to search themselves out can see that we exist, and it helps people who do have to search for themselves to realise that "hey, I'm not the only one I'll ever see (aside from my family)"

2.) Has there ever been a time in your life when you used diversity as a strength?

To make people who were also of a diverse background to feel comfortable.

3.) What would you say to someone who may be struggling with embracing diversity?

It's okay if you're struggling, and I'm glad that you're trying to embrace diversity. It can be hard to embrace something that's so different to what you're used to. It's important though, and to help you into it, I'd suggest that you look for diversity in things that you love. Look for diversity in whatever it is that you love, it might be hard to find, but I'm sure you'll find something.

4.) What are some ways we can celebrate diversity?

Finding it in everything. Embracing it. Loving the fact that we live in a time that at least we have the internet to help us find it
