After seeing a boy bullied at school Valerie Weisler went up to him and told him he mattered. She then went home, learnt to make a website and created the non-profit Validation Project. This organisation teams up troubled teens with mentors who can help them hone a skill such as photography or cooking. She has also written a Kindness Curriculum which is used in hundreds of schools. And did I mention she's just 17 years old? You can find out more about Valerie and the Validation Project here.

If you are planning to get a job you need to have a Tax File Number. Many high schools guide students through this process at school. But if you don't have one yet you can download the application form at the ATO website. You can then make an appointment at Australia Post or Centrelink for an interview. You must take in your proof of ID. Check out the ATO website for more information.

Another Olympic Swim Team member who is still in their teens is 19 year old Georgia Bohl. She will be competing in the 100m breaststroke and 100m medley relay. Her results at last year's national championships were disappointing but rather than being discouraged by them she worked harder and qualified for the Olympics. Her motto is winning isn't easy.
