I'm 14, and I Have No Idea | Haggan Zavair Kevandiano | TEDxSMPI Al Abidin Surakarta Youth

Teenagers are often told they should already have a clear plan for their future, yet many change their career ideas frequently. In this TEDxSMPI Al Abidin Surakarta Youth talk, speaker Haggan Zavair Kevandiano, a ninth-grade student, takes a humorous and honest look at growing up without all the answers. He covers childhood dreams, early setbacks, the pressure of high school and future choices, and introduces a practical step called the 1-Hour Rule. The talk argues that the teenage years are less about having certainty and more about trying new things, asking questions and exploring who you are. It was given at an independently organized TEDx event that follows the TED conference format.
