Kidan, Ethiopia

Families in poverty face tough choices. Often it's the girl who loses. Given a second chance, Kidan could unleash the Girl Effect and help herself and her family. Learn more at www.girleffect.org and join the movement at www.facebook.com/girleffect.

She wants to be a doctor so she would help other people unlike us.

Firstly, just admit defeat because you can't even tackle the points I have raised. No man of history is innocent, every nation on Earth has committed evil acts. As I've stressed in my original post.

@superninjasarah712 hiya :) thank you... glad I could help. :) Those career ideas are really good! :) Maybe you could focus on becoming a psychologist and be a journalist on the side. :-) (in your free time when you are not working as a psychologist.) :) LOL Happy unbirthday today! (There is a song about unbirthdays in the cartoon Disney Version of Alice In Wonderland.) I think a lot of people these days have a main job and a side job. Really study journalism programs b4 giving it up.

@LemursFriend I don't babysit. I'm not old enough. But I'm 12 now....and in 8 months I'll be old enough to babysit. I love children. Thats a good idea, by the way.

Also: I'd really like to be a journalist, but I believe that I'm going to be a mental therapist to help those with psychological problems because it's a much more productive job.

@marycozzens I agree; buy organic! :)

@superninjasara712 Please keep studying too and doing well in school and maybe you could get a good enough education to pursue International Studies or Women's Studies or Eco Tourism where you could be doing this work helping women in poor countries as your career. Do whatever speaks to your heart the most. :)

@superninjasarah712 One organization that comes to mind is The Boys And Girls Club. Maybe you could volunteer with your parents or another trusted adult at a soup kitchen or a women and children's shelter or an orphanage. You CAN make a difference right now. :) Thank you for caring! :)

@superninjasarah712 It is wonderful that you care. Thank you for that. Do you babysit? Maybe you could make a one time donation to this organization from money you saved by babysitting. Probably your parents would have to take your babysitting cash and pay with their debit cards on that website. That's how I managed to donate a little bit to charities when I was about your age. :) You can look up volunteer opportunities in your community. Maybe there are girls right there that need you.

OMG OMG I know a great many things about this world/universe, and I did not know this about girls, oh my God!

[dancersingerlover]

omg this is sooo sad!

[marycozzens]

each person CAN make a difference. poverty is thrust upon these people while huge comapnies like monsanto make billions off their grief, making it impossible for them to survive sustainably without buying seeds over and over again from the company who has pattened the grains to NOT produce new viable seeds to save and plant again. Poverty reduces the parents to hopelessness, knowing the only way to survive is to use their daughters for currency. Every farmer makes a difference, so do you.

@darthkiller14 Not good enough. Like me saying "I want to kill your family." Why? Because I can and I have the freedom to say it.
