    1. I agree with you and hope that she does have a peaceful life afterwards.

    2. I'm hoping for that too. She's been through so much already I think she deserves to have a peaceful life and this goes for all the other kids in Pakistan.

    3. Finally she can live a better life , the only thing is that there is still other kids in Pakistan that still need help .

    4. Never thought of that. But you know she'll make changes to her community

    1. Yea, Its great that shes making a great recovery. That alone is not to bad, but the Taliban is another story. Even thought shes safe in Europe, they can still try something to kill here. Hope they don't get here, and the Taliban has to get out of Pakistan before she can ever return...

    2. I agree, I also hope that she is not the Taliban's target anymore. The only thing that she can do right now is recover.

  3. I am actually glad that she is ok because I thought that she wasn't going to make it because of the condition that she was in last fall.So I just hope that she makes it until she gets released from the Hospital.

  4. I'm happy for her. She's such a strong girl to go through this . Yeah it might be hard for her but she always pulls through. Maybe after her recovery she'll live better then she did before and enjoy the feeling of going to school and not feeling frightened.

  5. Good things come from bad things. Well not all the time but at least Malala is safe, for now. I hope she can stay in Europe and continue here fight for education in Pakistan. Hopefully the Pakistan government won't target here again and try to kill here... (Hopefully =3 )

    1. I agree completely. Hopefully she'll be safe in her new life in the U.K. and won't be targeted anymore by the Taliban.

    2. It's not the Pakistani government that's targeting her, it's the Taliban (although a few years before they WERE the government), but I really doubt that the Taliban would orchestrate a terrorist attack just to get back at her. Hopefully she recovers without any more mishaps happening.

      Delete
    3. I agree with you, sometimes good things come from bad things... I also hope that Malala continues with her mission to have the same education in Pakistan. With her great courage, strength, and determination, she will succeed!

  6. I'm happy to hear that she is recovering fine. Also, I'm happy that the U.K is granting her and her family amnesty so they will continue to be safe. It's also good to hear that she will continue to be a rights activist for young women's education everywhere.

    1. I am also happy that the U.K. will be granting her and her family amnesty. That way they can be safer and she can recover easily and continue to fight for her cause.

  7. It's a shame that individuals like Malala have to suffer because they tried to make a difference, especially when the issues they are fighting for are easily resolvable, but the good thing is that she survived, unlike other activists who have died for the ideals they believed in.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I definitely agree with you. I think that education is something everyone should have access to, if not as a basic necessity, then as a given right. I think that it's a good thing she survived, though, because she'll be able to spread her message for a longer amount of time, to even more people. Maybe she'll be able to change things even more, now.

    2. I also agree with you why don't they just let her go to now she got shot for it it doesnt make any sense

  8. I think that Malala has been a great inspiration to many people, and it's a good thing that she's recovering so well. It already seems that her influence is leaving its mark on her homeland, and I think things now have the potential and momentum to get much better. I believe this is going to be the start of something much larger.

  9. I am glad that Malala is recovering and that she and her family are able to stay under the protection of the UK. I wish that the Taliban wouldn't target anymore. She is a fighter and strong willed, and she wont stop believing in what she knows is right and I believe she will get through this just fine..

  12. I am really happy that Malala is recovering. I cant believe that time has passed by so fast. I can't believe that she will be able to be completely recovered within 18 months from her final surgery. I believe that even if she doesn't completely recover from her right side that she will still be fighting for the rights of young woman getting an education. I personally think that she has a really strong voice and that no matter what she has gone through she will still be able to keep on fighting for the rights of the people and also she will be someone huge in life. I believe that she will recover and be as strong as she use to be before and she will have the same mentality. I just can't wait until she is completely recovered and she becomes one of my role models.

  29. Well, I'm really glad that Malala has recovered! She deserves a good life because we can see that she wants everyone to be equal. Nobody should stop her from dreaming. I hope to be like her: determined to do whatever it takes for the things that you most want. She is a strong girl who has shown all of us, that everyone's voice counts. Now the Taliban will know that you can't take away someone's determination, such as Malala Yousufzai!

  33. Oh Malala....Poor Malala. I don't know what to say, It's shocking. I dislike whoever tries to hurt her. A psycho is someone who tries to kill a young lady activist. They are sick. I am glad Malala has survived and is not gone. I hope everything goes well with her surgery. I don't wish anybody surgery near their brain, It's dangerous. I am also proud of her because she hasn't given up in her condition. Nothing stops her. She believes in herself for a change. Sometimes women are scared when their voice is heard but Malala is just another inspiration for youth. Many are inspired by her. I believe and admire her. I don't look upon revenge all the time but hope those criminals who hurt Malala regret what they've done and are punished!

  77. Like everyone else has said its good that she is making a good recovery and that she is safer than she was before, But why would people try to kill this young woman? Its because she is a treat to them they have seen what she can do and they know that she has people that support her and they will threaten her because of that, so like others before have said its good that she is a lot better and that she is in the U.K and hopefully she will be able to stay there and be safe. Thanks to her some people will get the education that they want.

  98. I think it is so cool that she is going to be o.k.I can only wonder What it feels like to be under so much pain.Inside and out.Just knowing that you were almost killed for being who you are.I disagree with a lot of things and I know that with the opinion that I would give would most certainly get me killed for sure.So I Wish to her the best and hope she will become a public speaker when she grows up and gets her hearing back. she is one of the strong independent Girls who aren't afraid to speak there minds even at the risk.For that I respect her.hope for the best and get better soon.
