For the official record, next week will be my 50th<\/sup>\u00a0article here on The Global Conversation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve had conversation about a wide variety of topics. Relationships, The Middle East, bullying, and even time itself. However, through months and months of articles, I realize that there is something very important I have not done yet.<\/p>\n

I have been talking to you all, and have made the call to a more peaceful and more unified society. What I\u00a0haven\u2019t<\/i>\u00a0done yet is respond \u2013 I haven\u2019t let\u00a0you<\/i>\u00a0respond to my messages about what YOU think, what YOU believe, and what YOU envision for the future. So, to change this way of thinking, I\u2019m opening this post up to YOU. People have heard plenty of my voice, so now it is time for them to hear yours.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m letting YOU make the call \u2013 YOU choose whatever topic you wish to extend your highest spiritual beliefs towards. Write to me what your highest vision of the truth about whatever topic of your choosing is, and I will respond to it.<\/p>\n

So, if you want your incredible teenage spiritual views to be a part of The Global Conversation, just do the following:<\/p>\n

-Choose a topic you feel as though I haven\u2019t addressed or one that truly inspires you.<\/p>\n

-In a paragraph or two (or longer), express your views on that topic, and (if you feel ever so inclined) ask questions about the topic as well.<\/p>\n

-Email this paragraph to me at\u00a0lauren@theglobalconversation.com<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

-Within the next few weeks, your views and my responses to your paragraph will be my articles. So, if you want to have your views featured, know that you can!<\/p>\n

As teenagers, we have a voice that deserves to be heard. The world deserves to see that its youngest generation is truly aware of all that they are and all that there is. I am giving you the chance to use that voice, and I can\u2019t wait to see just how elevated your consciousnesses are!<\/p>\n
