16-year-old Greta Thunberg is Time Magazine's youngest-ever "Person of the Year" (Credit: Photo: Time/Screengrab)

Time Inc.'s "Person of the Year" tradition began in 1927, when the magazine commemorated 25-year-old aviator Charles Lindbergh for the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Though the media franchise has since recognized several young people for their global influence, it has never given the important distinction to a teenager. But then again, few teens are as passionate about their mission as 2019's "Person of The Year"— 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

    She's so inspiring! I have, for a long time, been against climate change, but 16 year old Greta is doing things I could never had the courage to do! Congrats Greta!

          You aren't a wimp. If you put yourself down, you won't have the confidence to move forward. I have major stage fright as well, but it isn't that much of a burden once you get into the flow of things. You are special to many people who know you, so don't get down because you have some kind of personal thing like stage fright. If you believe in yourself, you can do many things.

            LOVE Greta. she is my idol too. I want to save the environment just like her but I agree it does take a lot of confidence and I am not normally shy and could do that for my class but it would surprise even me if I could do that.

              I love her she is my idol. That takes confidence, and guts to go up on the stage and talk about how we can change global warming and stuff like that. I can't even stand up to my class that's how much of a wimp I am. Follow if u agree.

                You aren't a wimp. I think you are great just the way you are! No one is going to be good at everything, and no one is perfect. That is what makes us human. Don't say things like that to yourself. If you be kind to yourself and believe, than you can achieve!

                    well, this is an article about Greta Thunberg, and her fight to save our earth from plastic pollution and climate change. Why they bring up china is because they are one of the most polluted countries. If Greta gets her word heard and spread across the world enough, she might be able to save children's futures, by providing a normal temp climate.
