Malala Yousafzai reveals struggle with depression, mental health issues

[NYPOST] Even teenage Nobel Peace Prize winners get the blues.

Malala Yousafzai

...a Pashtun blogger and advocate for girls' education from Mingora, in Swat. She is esteemed as an ambassador of international good will, even though she can't go home lest some fellow in a turban shoots her in the head again...
, the youngest Peace Prize winner in history (at 17), education activist, author of "I Am Malala" and founder of the Malala Fund, devoted to raising money for education programs, revealed to Teen Vogue that she has struggled with depression and other mental health issues.

But her internal battles are understandable. After all, the 22-year-old Oxford University sophomore first hit the international spotlight after suffering a near-fatal gunshot to the head delivered by a Taliban

terrorist who was upset with her exposing political issues in her home country of Pakistain when she was 14.

"There are so many things in the world; a lot of them are really depressing," Yousafzai told Teen Vogue, adding that she deals with downers by discussing them with friends and her parents. "What we need to do is remain positive because our sadness can’t change the world."

And changing the world is what the social-media firebrand
...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments...
is all about. Most prominently, Yousafzai relentlessly campaigns for girls to be properly educated. Besides ranking as a pure and simple human right, she pointed out to Teen Vogue schooling for females makes financial sense as well.

#1 She's not fooling anybody. The taliban may've shot her but the proper reaction of such a victim would have been to denounce islam. It has been argued that she remains muslim to influence an reform her society from within, and greatly helps the cause of women. But all her talk of the 'right islam' and 'extremist islam' has only helped lawfarers and infiltrators in western society. Her best friends are still hard core muslims and activists and she's been known to speak for paleos and rohingyas. Also see this :

#3 Her father was a student activist and now works for the groups seeking to bring moderate thinking to Pakistain. A voice of reason really. A lot of the revolutionary zeal required to shrug off the current system can be found in marxist ideas, so the Pakhtun Students' Union and others may use that. Also, he may lean left only because from the Pakistan State's perspective, it is itself a right-wing state. One man's left is another man's right and all that.

She may not be a villain, but whatever force seeks to establish islam as a religion of peace in the public eye, equating its ethic with feminism and modernity, is unwittingly dangerous.

She represents the insane feminist that says 'It's my right to wear a hijab and submit to sharia !'

#4 Alternatively, Dron, when she was shot - she got the message.
