A todos los adolescentes | Ximena Songg | TEDxYouth@BSCR

In a society that demands teenagers conform to certain models, Ximena Songg presents how a young woman can embrace her fears and make them a vital part of her personality and what makes her unique. In doing so, she sets aside the idea that society "has taught us that we must squeeze and deform ourselves to fit the mold that society has designed for us." My name is Ximena Songg, I am 16 years old, and I am in my final years of high school. I consider myself a happy, energetic person who sees life positively. Societal standards have always been a topic that greatly interests me and that I want to discuss. Being part of this TEDx event and participating in the workshops has been a unique experience that has helped me foster personal growth, acquire new skills, and learn about new topics and different perspectives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
