TIME magazine has released their annual list of the 30 Most Influential teens, and 2016’s list is incredible. The list includes activists to actors, athletes and musicians, and a tons of names you’ll instantly recognize. Congratulations to Kylie Jenner, Malia Obama, Jaden Smith & more.
Malala Yousafzai, 19, is one of the most accomplished teens — no, people — worldwide. Before turning 18, she had a Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless efforts promoting education for girls around the world. Of course she’s on this list! Simone Biles, 19, and Laurie Hernandez, 16, are on the list for being incredible Olympic gymnasts. Two members of the US Women’s Gymnastics Team, or the Final Five, as they were called, Laurie took home a gold and silver medal, and Simone took home a stunning four gold medals and one bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics this summer!
President Barack Obama‘s two daughters, Sasha Obama, 15, and Malia Obama, 18, are included for their activism, and for being incredible role models to young black girls. As TIME calls them, they’re “budding American icons.” Jaden Smith, 18, is included for bashing gender norms in the public eyes. Seen frequently wearing skirts in public, he launched his own clothing line, MSFTSrep, with the hopes that girls who want to dress masculine, and boys who want to dress feminine, can just do what they want!
