Body image, beauty and bullying.

How to react to a bully in a comment thread

Bullies never win -- not even in the comments section. TED’s community manager, Katie Pierce, shares these tips on how to react to a comment-thread bully. I grew up with a dad who was a baseball-loving criminal investigator, so in my house, dinner conversation was about two things: Yankees batting averages and criminal psychology. At the table,...

8 beautiful and heartbreaking poems from Shane Koyczan

Shane Koyczan has a way with words. “I’ve been shot down so many times I get altitude sickness just from standing up for myself,” he says, beginning today’s talk. “That’s what we were told—stand up for yourself. But that’s hard to do if you don’t know who you are.” Koyczan appeared on the TED2013 stage just a week after his spoken-word poem...

Advice from a young TED speaker: Start a TED-Ed Club at your school

If you watch my TED Talk from 2010, you might see a confident 12-year-old, cracking jokes and striding around the stage in glasses that keep sliding down her nose. You won’t see me going home and crying, or starting every page in my journal with four words: “I feel sad today.” I divided my life into two parts: my tear-stained journal vers...

Imagine walking a mile in someone else’s headline: Monica Lewinsky speaks at TED2015

Monica Lewinsky is one of very few people over the age of 40 who has no interest in being 22 again. “At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss,” she says bluntly as she begins her talk on the TED2015 stage, her hands clasped in front of her. “At the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences. “ Lewinsky asks for a show of ha...

Is this really the America we want?

“Two FBI agents knocked on my door. They told me that unless I helped them by spying on protest groups, they would put me on a domestic terrorist list.

Why dance is just as important as math in school

Dance -- and physical activity -- should have the same status in schools as math, science and language. Psst: it may even help raise test scores, says Sir Ken Robinson.
