Today, Greta is certainly not alone; she's met with world leaders, spoken in front of huge crowds, and was declared
Time’s person of the year in 2019. And it’s safe to say that the 17-year-old has learned a thing or two about handling bullies, having
expertly responded to several of President Trump’s hurtful comments over the years.
But the activist has made it clear that she doesn't want anyone — including herself — to waste their time worrying about bullies. “I honestly don’t understand why adults would choose to spend their time mocking and threatening teenagers and children for promoting science, when they could do something good instead,” she
wrote in a Twitter thread last year, adding: “I guess they must simply feel so threatened by us…. The world is waking up. Change is coming whether they like it or not.”
