Most Inspiring Children

Anne Frank is a wonderful person that has interesting but sad stories that are based on real events.

She's inspiring but her book is pretty depressing. - Drawbox

Among the youngest World War II heroes. Her diary is a testimony to describe what kids have to deal with when there's blasts, bloodshed and persecution around your environment. Its surprising to know how her diary is getting progressively more relevant, seeing as more kids are getting massacred or orphaned due to war. - CrimsonShark

If he was able to rally up a massive amount of people to protest and challenge the corrupt and dangerous, especially in a developing country, you know this boy was a true hero and martyr. He has also been given recognition, such as the Reebok Human Rights Award and as a major inspiration for the WE (Free the Children) Charity in Canada. - CrimsonShark

I've wrote about her in my Unsung Heroes list, but she deserves a spot hands down. If it weren't for Scott, there wouldn't have been much investment and awareness in Pediatric Cancer. - CrimsonShark

Maybe most inspiring teenagers is more like it. But she still is very inspiring - 445956

I think malala is the bravest one on this chart because she got shot in the head three times and still survived a all because she wanted to learn and go to school. - apizza23

As of now, she is coming up on adulthood, and she made a big impact when she was a teen, so this shouldn't really be here.

But still a huge inspiration. - 445956

Like I've said in my Greatest Unsung Heroes list, she deserves recognition for bringing awareness to a rather obscure and overlooked topic. Her work and endeavor continues to be posthumously carried out by the "Smashing Walnuts" organisation. - CrimsonShark

Gurjar was a child laborer who was freed by activists from the "Bachpan Bachao Andolan" organisation. He would later set up child-free villages, in an effort to cut down child labor, largely succeeding and even enabling greater rights to children, earning them further protection from exploitation. His actions ultimately won him an International Children's Peace Prize in 2006. - CrimsonShark

Nkosi was born with HIV-Positive, with his mother succumbing to AIDS when he just started grade school. He advocated for awareness in South Africa alongside his foster mother, eventually finding "Nkosi's Haven" in Johannesburg. Although he passed in 2001, he was posthumously awarded an International Children's Peace Prize in 2005, alongside Nkosi's Haven receiving a US $100,000 from the KidsRight Foundation. - CrimsonShark

Who would have thought a 10 year old would be a symbol of peace when she wrote letter to the Soviet leader Yuri Andropov during the Cold War. Yuri took positively, and Samantha was seen as a peace activist and a symbol of peace during the Cold War, even visiting Russia and writing a book about it. She unfortunately passed in a plane crash in 1985 at age 13. - CrimsonShark

Her death, d*mn... What a shame, but kudos to her. RIP - EliHbk

The trolls have taken over this poll.

Totally agreed. How does Honey Boo Boo aspire people when she was almost universally criticized for her reputation? - CrimsonShark

What? CrimsonShark, I know you didn't do this, how did a troll do it? - 445956

Youngest American to fight in WW2. He wanted to save the world, lied about his age, and enlisted at age 12. Was wounded fighting in the Battle of Guadalcanal, but was discharged after two years when the Navy discovered his true age.

Talia was a child YouTuber who loved makeup and fashion. She went by the name "TaliaJoy18". She was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma and fought it for 6 years, passing away in August 2013. She was also a cancer advocate during that time, with collaborations with TheTruth365. Her channel and Instagram account is posthumously monitored by her mother and sister, ensuring her legacy lives on. - CrimsonShark

The "Amber Alert" is named for her.

Without a doubt, the greatest child musician of all time.

I have Craig Kielburger on "The top 10 Celebrities from Thornhill Ontario," too, but, his photo did not come up. Is there anyway to connect the 2 lists? - clusium

At the age of 14, joined a skiffle group called The Quarrymen with his older pals John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They were really, really bad, but they worked really hard and got better. After a few years, the group changed its name to The Beatles.

Published his very first children's novel, at around the age of 12 - 14 years old, while still in elementary school. - clusium

Nothing against her, but I wouldn't call her more inspiring than children that have fought to raise awareness to real world problems they've had to go through. She's donated to charities, and is a good singer, but what else?

Broke Michael Jackson's record as youngest artist in US chart history with a Platinum album. Had her own 1-hour solo T.V. special three times, had three Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, and had seven consecutive albums hit #1 on the Billboard Classical Chart.

You're telling me a spoiled preteen is supposed to be inspiring?

Lol I was gonna add her. She would be a lot cuter if she didn't have the tough attitude, she does have the cute baby face though. - xashex

What, she's like the worst kid ever... if even a "kid"! all she does is make cringey, hypocritical music videos and act retarded - EliHbk

This kid deserves a Grammy - ManuelePepe

She may not be a child anymore but the stuff she did as a teenager continues to inspire people around the globe TO THIS DATE! She would let nothing, not even a shark attack and loss of her arm, keep her from surfing! Her amazing story should go down in history! - oceanbreezetheawesomewarrior
