How have you tried to effect change in relation to an issue of personal, local, or national significance:

The way I try to effect change in relation to a personal issue is that I try to find the positive in everything that happens. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that good will come after. Teenagers in my belief struggle most with conflicts, i understand that adults have problems as well but teenagers are known to become depressed or do the wrong things as for an adult has more experience and can take control of a situation better than a teenager can. The reason I say this is because I am a teenager and the way I have an effect on problems is different. I talk with my friends and try to see what we could do in order to make our life  less stressful. We have to worry about college, where we are going to live, work, etc. All those problems can only be solved by analyzing it in detail and seeing the pros and cons. There really isn't a specific way of solving problems it depends on each person. As for me I don't really know how to have an effect on my problems I basically just try to maintain myself calm and avoid getting exasperated if there is no need to, and that i think helps in finding an appropriate solution.
