SIMONE BILES, JADEN, AND MORE AMONG TIME’S 30 MOST INFLUENTIAL TEENS

It’s that time again! TIME Magazine has released their annual 2016-30 Most Influential teens list and it’s quite the compilation of Nobel Peace Prize winners, actors, activists, entrepreneurs, athletes, models, and musicians. These 30 young people were chosen for the prestigious honor as a result of their “professional” feats as well as their “global impact through social media and overall ability to drive news.”

Some recognizable teens that made the list are Olympian Simone Biles, (19), and her Final Five teammate Laura Hernandez, (17), along with 18-year-old actor, entrepreneur, and rapper Jaden Smith.  Two of the lists favorites, hailed by TIME Magazine as “budding American icons”, are role models Sasha, (15), and Malia Obama, (17), honored for their activism.
