global youth book

Dear Zoe, Hello. I’m writing a book about global youth viewpoints and would be very appreciative of your help getting these questions to young people 19 and younger who would like to be part of my book. I have translations of the questions in various languages. Thanks, Gayle

Greetings from California. I'm writing a book that gives you and other young people around the world an opportunity to say what's on your mind. This is your chance to be heard. Many of you have wonderful suggestions for how to make our world a better to live in, so I'm asking people age 19 and under to respond to 10 questions. I’ll compare your answers by age, gender, and location.
See myspace.com/globalyouthviewpoints for the questions and photos of schools and students I’ve visited on three continents. Also see http://globalyouthspeakout.ning.com/main/index/addContent
(I’ve written other peer-based books for youth, including The Teen Trip: The Complete Resource Guide and How to Survive Your Parents’ Divorce: Kids’ Advice to Kids.) Please also forward to kids and their teachers so they can be part of the global youth book.
Thanks, Gayle Kimball, Ph.D.

1. If you could ask a question of the wisest person in the world,
what would you ask her or him about life?
2. What bothers you in your daily life? What practice best helps you stay calm?
3. If there was one thing you could change about adults, what
would it be?
4. What would you like to change about yourself?
5. What do you like to do for fun?
6. When have you felt most loved by someone else?
7. Why do you think you’re here on earth; what’s your purpose?
8. On a scale of 1 to 100, how highly would you grade your
school? Why?
9. What work would you like to do when you're an adult?
10. If you were the leader of your country, what changes would you make?
11. Imagine you get to write on a T-shirt going on a trip around the world. What do you want your T-mail to say to people?

What questions are missing that you’d like to answer? Your email. . . . . . .
What first name would you like used in the book to quote you?
How old are you?
Girl or boy?
What city and country do you live in?
Gracias! Merci! Danke! Arrigato! Chi chi!

Hi Gayle, I shared your

Hi Gayle,

I shared your posting with former colleagues of mine who run youth programs in Queens, NY. They work with LOTS of young people, many of whom are immigrants, so hopefully they'll implement the survey.

Best,
Zoe

BTW, the organization I used

BTW, the organization I used to work with is the Queens Community House. Also, if you have the survey in Portuguese, I can share it with some people in Brazil.

Wow

You sound like an all-around amazing person! I would love to know more about your podcasts and perhaps even hear a few? What do your stories focus on? What is the most important story that you feel you have done?

I very much look forward to reading more about your journey, your passions, and what you do :)

Much Peace,

Sharese

Thanks for the kind words,

Thanks for the kind words, Sharese. You can hear the stories that I've done for Free Speech Radio News at fsrn.org. Just plug my name into the search window, and it'll give you all the pieces I've done for them. Of those, probably the most important stories that I have done have dealt with financial justice. I did a report about the impact of the mortgage crisis on communities of color in August 2007, and in 2008 I did a piece about banks fingerprinting people who want to cash checks.

Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing about your journey, too. ; )
