she fought for her rights? how and when? everything about her is portrayed in the media. When Obama became the president in 2008, everyone thought this was the great historical moment and a turning point of blacks in america. Look at now, 2014 the racial tension was greater than ever. everyone can't wait to see Obama leave office. historical indeed. fools will be fools
+Joe Rock If you'd done any of your own research for information that is readily available and at your fingertips, you would have been able to answer your own question and avoid looking like a fool.
I cried so much while reading your book I Am Malala. It inspired me so much to stand up for the right things like bullying and I even created an anti-bullying club at my school. I love u so much and I wish u a very happy life and have a wonderful day💙💚💜🌻🌺
An awesome , brave, cultured & inspiring girl to raise the voice for quality education of Children & especially for girls ! A great salute to her courage &'continuous effort !
It says something about America when most of our youths hate going to school, loathe it really. Then this young lady is fighting for education so hard that when she gets shot in the face, she survives, and continues to advocate for education. My generation could learn a lot from her, and we're the same age.
I think what (at least in my school) is the problem is that children don't realize what an education means. In my small town you really don't need an education, just a well-known last name. I believe why so many kids hate going to school is because they've no idea what life is like without one- how much more difficult it is.
Most of the problem isn't the education itself, it's the public school system. The schools don't present the information in a way that makes learning enjoyable, for everyone at least. A lot of it is that the schools are run like a business and don't really care for the students, except the few good teachers. Another problem is that the society we are in tells us that it's wrong to be "nerdy," and getting good grades or actually paying attention in class equates to being "nerdy." To be honest though, I think it's more society's fault.
Captain_of_Solitude American children hate going to school because schools dont teach them anything. our entire education system is built upon test scores they dont care about us learning anymore. they teach us how to pass a test these days. thats why kids loathe school.
She is an inspiration for the entire World, there are many people like her who wants to change this world, but they are scared to raise their voices.... Her Speech made me cry...
Sister u showed the beautiful relationship of a Pakistani and Indian in a wonderful way...huge respect to u dear sis..may Allah help u in ur all steps.. ameen
Her father is AMAZING!! I read her book and what amazed me was her father! In such a patriarchal society, her father was anything but that and was very progressive.
I am proud to be Asian ... When she told "when an Indian and Pakistani can show the world by fighting for children's rights by working together " still gives me goosebumps
I am gonna confess something. I have heard about Malala before. I have been impressed able it what she had achieved even though she is the same age as me. I heard about her, been impressed by her and promptly forgot her. Recently, I had finished my high school and joined a ver good college. Said college arranged for a motivational speech by the IPS SilenderBabu who came from a very poor family and had achieved greatness. He asked us about who we think Malala is. A boy promptly answered that she was a girl shot by the terrorists. I may have forgotten Malala for a short period of time but I still felt offended for her. SilenderBabu then screened a short part of this speech. I was amazed by the bravery that she showed. Because being an introverted person, I would have been scared shitless to even stand before such a crowd. I was intrigued and wanted to hear the rest of her speech. That would is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
(Continuation) I am an Indian girl who was enrolled in one of the most prestigious school in my area. But I like most of my fellow youth, I disregarded the education offered to me because it was so easily offered to me and also the usual reason given by my fellow youth, "it's hard to study","its boring" etc. I hated going to school. But then as I listen to Malala's speech the only thing running through my mind is that, "I don't have those difficulties that my fellow sisters around the world have. Those girls WANTED education and they have been deprived of it whereas here I am, getting the education they are fighting for, and disregarding it." I have never felt so ashamed. Another thing that SilenderBabu highlighted in his speech is that if you want your life to change then it is YOU who has to work for it. He told us that many youth think that studying is hard. He told us a story of how some poor high school graduate students were sent into the sea as fishermen to work for income.
+SwethaRockzz (continuation) He told us how they got stranded had to survive a week by drinking their own urine. Then he looked at us and asked us "so, what do you think is more hard, studying to develop your future or fighting to survive?". I think the answer is pretty clear. So today, I promise that I will study my hardest. I may not make a change for others but I CAN and I WILL make a change for my own future. I may not make a change like Malala or SilenderBabu but I will make sure their effort to better OUR own future does not go to waste.
+SwethaRockzz Malala, you may not read this. But I hope you know that your voice IS heard and that it IS making a change. Not many people may read these lengthy comments but if you do and you are one of the people disregarding the education given to you, remember, it is YOUR future you are studying for and remember the thousands of people around the world who are not so privileged. Study hard. Make a difference. Even though it is in your own life.
Ayk S Her veil is there to protect her from being subjugated..and forcing others to acknowledge her as a person when she speaks. it does not hold anyone back (not anyone who wants to be free in true sense) it never has it never will. and it sure as hell didn't stop her from winning a Nobel Prize. please learn about it first before you speak about any subject. this is why she is emphasizing about education so that people know and don't disrespect her choice (yes it is her choice to wear it) maybe you can learn to respect it.
soul4rent2007 What? Are you kidding me? It forces others to acknowledge her as a person? So, if she doesn't wear it, she is not a person to be acknowledged? Oh, and it's her choice, too? Let me ask you: Do you think she would still have chosen to wear it if she were born in, say, America? It's not her choice, it's the choice of the cultural environment in which she was born.
Ayk S I am in Australia and I confess I have failed to put on a vail as of yet...but my cousin (Born and brought up in AUSTRALIA) who although her mother doesn't wear one she "chose" to wear one so yes I think given the beautiful person she (Malala) is inside and out she would choose to wear it. it is part of our identity as Muslims (although I admit that oppressive men make women do may things) it is not the religion it self. and you know WHY you think she wouldn't wear a veil if she was"born in USA? because and i quote you directly "it's the choice of the cultural environment in which she was born" my mother chose to wear a veil as of 8 years ago and she still gets hell from airport security. yes YOU guys "oppress" people with your scrutinizing and judgmental eyes when they wear a veil or hijab thus making them uncomfortable, making them feel like they are doing something wrong. maybe you can learn to broaden your mind before you go all judgmental on other peoples beliefs maybe learn a little about the religion before you speak trash about it? I grew up in a Muslim country and never in my life did I experience any kind of oppression from my father or anyone. My mother wears a veil with out being told because that's what chose for her self and although she advice me all the time to wear one I was never forced not from my parents nor from my husband. I have however always suggested strongly to learn and to go for higher education so that I can see, learn and analyse for my self about different situation and NOT STEREOTYPE like so many others sitting in front of a tv receiving nothing but media propaganda.
Women getting equal rights, world peace, education for all, happiness, and hope. Those are all things that Malala spreads and hopes for. She is the girl, the person, who fought and hoped for her rights and for the rights of all people throughout the world. Twenty-six minutes of purely deep and inspirational speeching.
Wow! She is so regal, and noble. The way she speaks and holds herself is incredible; I would've thought she's descended from and brought up as nobility... And her good humor is adorable! She has a real flair for speaking to the heart, with a calm strength and power that is so pleasant to listen to, so convincing and real. So many lines of hers can be quoted, very sharp and clear. I hope she is successful in bringing more peace and more education to the world.
I cried & I'm a guy. I hope once you've read her book & viewed her youtube clips, you can come to the conclusion that Almighty God helps those who helps themselves. For me, I gather that she's absolutely greatful to her parents & so thankful to be born in Swat Valley despite the hardships. Also, she's not only a practicing Muslim, but she keeps on learning & recite the Holy Quran every day. You can learn a lot from this girl if you see her, just ask the right questions.
+Lana Del Bae - i look at her without tears in my eyes. not because i feel sorry for her but because she has this overwhelming energy of hope. She is amazing.
"Why is it that countries which we called strong are so powerful in creating wars but are weak in bringing peace?" moved me...Anything is possible if we are focussed and support a great cause..More Malalas we need on this earth.
'Countries' don't create the problems, the people who RUN those countries are the problem. Don't believe Donald Trump or Vlad Putin are the problem, it is the people in the background pulling the strings who are to blame. Rothschild bankers, mega-corporations and wealthy oligarchy are the problem on this planet, not 'countries'. Countries are merely areas of land with borders agreed at international level. Have you ever seen 'America' or 'Russia' pick up a gun and shoot?
Poo Tube also, you seem like a conspiracy theorist am I right? Mega-corporations (which are not real, they're just corporations) depend on the government, it's not the other way around. There is also no wealthy oligarchy, if I were to become part of the 1% I wouldn't all of a sudden be teleported to a room where I control the world and if I were to get out of the 1%, what will they do? Delete my memories? There is no people pulling any strings and there is no such thing as the corporations you describe that control the world. You sir, are a lunatic.
yet caitlyn jenner won the woman of the year award, i have nothing against trans people but the face that she has done nothing while this girl here made a big change.
+Jasmine Balderas Maybe some day you will come to understand that man made awards are the social carrots of social engineering and rarely reflect the best of anything.
It is insane how old she sounds versus how old she is. She has the ability so communicate so clearly and earnestly, this is a trait which is rare in 90% of adults much less other girls who are 17. This is a person who will be remembered.
+Ben Alexander She actually seems to be at graduate level at 17 so she got a better education than most Americans, plus she was taught to speak English. And she seems to have had public speaking training also because she speaks like someone who has been giving speeches forever and she knows to repeat important points for emphasis. Not many people can speak like a professional speaker at 17.
+Ben Alexander u know why, because what happened in her life was a major event that changed her 100%, she became more wisdom and more appreciative of life , just something to think about
+Ben Alexander - Her maturity comes from self experiencing the problem and also having full awareness of human rights. She is not trained in public speaking. With that Thrust behind her - public speaking is a small piece of puzzle. Many Pakistanis fall in this category. Their inventive work is not less than Malala's. City's spirits and structure is held together with people's innovation and will - with zero engagement of the Govt. She also represents that Birth face of A very young country - Pakistan (which is now disfigured in the recent past)
I’m 11 and I will stay in school and become a lawyer to help Malala she is my inspiration and my example to follow I know I’m not from Pakistan 🇵🇰 or from India 🇮🇳 or from Africa I’m from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 but i believe that girls have to go to school 🏫 and thank you Malala for making a huge change in this world
How is Laura doing today, 2019? I need a lawyer already. I hope you are still keeping alive Malala's dreams also! Pass it on to the adolescent community! My best wishes to you!! God bless!
I love how proud her dad is, and it looks like this fight she is taking on is a piece of him. Listen only to her voice, and none of the comments politicians made/make on her behalf. She is saying what she means, and needs no assistance in voicing her opinion. Just seeing how strong she is since the videos of her being a scared girl in Pakistan, and now she is completely certain and comfortable in her opinion and what she believes in is so impressive and beautiful. The smile on her dads face says it all.
I am a 32 year old law enforcement officer with 10 years experience in the military. I have never had a hero in my life, and never saw the point. The people I most admired were always soldiers, generals, and "great men" of history. But I have a hero now. Malala is my hero. She is a shining beacon in a dark world.
Thank you for such a beautiful, and powerful presentation. Yes, I agree that ..."we must work, not wait...Let's begin this ending now.." Childhood deprivation, gender bias, and mistreatment are all abhorrent and must be eliminated. God bless you!
Because of india Pakistan war Pakistan needs safety india is ready to destroy pakistan most of the money goes on safety of Pakistan not education of Pakistan india is a major problem but your objection is right
Love you malala from 🇮🇳 I am 17 year old boy. Right now my financial condition is not good. When I will Financially independent I will donate to malala fund.
God, this all seems like such a different reality. I'm 17 just like her, and what she's saying seems so far away, i'm so used to see people my age, and me, myself taking education for granted. *feeling stupid here. She really motivates me to take my geometry book and start doing some work. this girl is just amazing! I can't imagine beeing in her, and all those several children's situation. Hearing her is a lot different than just reading papers and watch the news. I hope these people get the same rights as me.

Great minds think alike.. Do not wonder. God has created mankind n Created it so beautiful. Remember dear, all the wonders u seek.. Are within..within yourselves.
My heart is truly shattered by the stories of the children all over the world who are deprived of the right to be educated. When I first heard about Malala's story I was tremendously moved. I am 17 now, I look up to her and wholeheartedly wish I could help with her invaluable work. My goal is to become a human rights activist and to fight for people who are being threatened whenever they say "no" to the abuse of their fundamental rights, such as education. It also breaks my heart that there are so many talented, prominent young people that dream about going to school but they can't whereas in my privileged country, Poland, where most of the schools are free of charge, some kids believe that learning is some kind of punishment or at least a waste of time. I, myself, make the most of it that I can and such people as Malala prove that I am not wrong choosing to do it. That is why I came up with the idea to start a campaign that aims to teach elderly people English. The future will show how it all turns out but as for now, I am determined to engross in it, bearing in heart my admiration for Malala. I hope that one day I will have a chance to tell her how much of an inspiration she is to me...
Lovely speech. But, members of the royal family should show some more respect...this girl was shot in the damn HEAD for wanting to learn, has survived and thrived, and some of the guests have the nerve to look bored....
+Viviana Gutierrez what are you freakin talking about?... do they live in an animation movie? at least make sure what "real life" means and accept the fact that life is defined differently and its difficulties.

+boci122 I know this concept must seem foreign to you, but people can look one way and be feeling another. Like, when your partner is faking an orgasm: They look like they have it, but they don't. Same way, someone can look bored without being bored.
This is an amazing speech, it is great that someone can rise from such trauma to having such passion for change. I particularly like her comparison of the cost of war to the cost of education. I think one educated citizen can do more for a county than hundreds of solders could do. I look forward to seeing what Malala accomplishes in the rest of her life, as she has so much more time to enact change.
Thanks to Our honorable sister malala, who raised her voice for millionare's girls for education. Its not only a voice of malala, Its a voice of our whole country pakistan now. We all are with malala Keep it up sister We heartly wish you a greatest sustainable progress in your compaign. May Allah bless you unlimited.
It is so Wonderful, that a 17 years old girl knows how to improve the world and not just like the other teenagers who find time of taking selfies, finding a new trend for a minute of popularity and all that stuffs...even I, do the same thing, of just taking selfies and wasting my time not wandering that in other parts of the world there are still teenagers, kids and women who suffers greatly in lack of education. I have no idea that a teenage girl would be able to speak out her voice for a Big change! :) And I...coming from a Third World Country, people especially youngsters like me, must do something meaningful to others. We must care for others, whatever life status they have or culture they live. the World is not getting better. Respect! Peace!
we all can help inspire change though and impact someone and that is enough too its all the people in the world w ho striVE to help people and make someone happy who are helping this world and IM sure someone smiles BC of you♥
taking a selfie does not mean that an individual doesn't care about what goes on in the world. I take selfies and do most things girls my age do, but I also am a feminist and I know a lot about gender equality, sexualization and sexism. However discriminating other 17 year olds for not understand things about the world, is not their fault at all. Which is exactly why people should be speaking out, so girls and boys do have an understanding. It's not that they ignore it, it's that they're not aware. Remember that.
I'm proud of you my sister, Malala Yousafzai. May Allah, give you strength, and a long life, so you could spread the true meaning of Islam, by fighting for justice, and education. YOU ARE A INSPERTION FOR AFGHANS GRILS, IN AFGHANISTAN and across the globe.Greeting from AFG.
+SHAH JAHAN Afghani I'm not a Muslim (I'm not religious in any form) but thankfuly I live in a country with religious freedom... sadly, in the western world, Islam is frequently associated with fundamentalism... Malala has been a beacon of light to change that view, and to make the western world realize that, like in other religions all over the globe, there are coherant people as well as fundamentalist, so the fault doesn't lay in the religion, but in the fundamentalists groups.
Im lucky enough to learned your story prior Watching this video ...u r such an inspiring girl who alwys speak up for the girl rights and quality education 👏 your last words are very power full and deep which world should focus on...we are so powerful in creating wars but but not peace ...we are so strong that we can give guns to a chuld but not books, we can easily built tanks but not schools....that's realy makes sense...your evry words directly touched my emotions....thnk u Malala for teaching us how to fights fir rights👏👏👏👏👏
"I had two options. One was to remain silent and wait to be killed, and the second was to speak up and then be killed. I chose the second one, I decided to speak up". What a beautiful mind and heart. And how fucked up our world is, when a person can be driven to the conclusion that they only have these two options.
I can not believe all of the hate that is in this thread. This girl did a very brave thing and you can not get over YOURSELF of the color of her skin to see that she obviously is not for "building bombs" She is a young girl who had no say in where she was born all she wants is to learn EVERYONES human right and you have the nerve to deny her and others. Let me tell you if you are an American saying these God awful things about a girl who is fighting her countries rule like at one time we had to do as well then please leave America because that is not what we believe.
It doesn't matter, in the end. The All Powerful shall have the final say in the Hereafter where shameless, entitled girls like Jenner will be given her rightful place amongst the disbelievers.

I've asked Parkistanis how do they see Malala & most of their men keep saying she's giving Parkistan a bad name. But, I reminded them that she's just sharing her life story & pretty much speaking the truth. To me, those who have something against her seem to be on the side of the Taleban...
I have two daughters and I am moved. Fortunately, I live in a democratic country because the older daughter loves education and admires Malala and Maria Curie. (The second daughter is still a baby)
Malala you are most great girl of Pakistan, ALLAH/GOD gives you everything so you able to achieve "Nobel Peace prize" in 17 years old And which experience was 70 yrs. Wishes ALLAH gives you more experience...
