Absolutely Fabulous Adam!!! Please EVERYONE help support getting "Mindfulness" classes in the schools. Watch the video, comment and share. We all want to help make changes, WELL this is our chance!!!

[@jessebiter]

What an amazing talk. Adam Avin is doing his part to change the world. I hope he continues to encourage children to learn how to cope with today's challenges. This is the answer.

[@jdrums73]

What an amazing young man. He is wise beyond his years. The world needs more young people like Adam.

[@jennyngocoach]

OMG Adam! What an AMAZING Tedx talk and from a wise and talented teenage. I believe this Tedx talk should at least get 1million views. I'm doing my part to spread the words to my email list and on social media because I believe this is how our world and our future can be a better place. Maybe we will see you on Oprah one day! Just IMAGINE the ripple effects this can have if this message gets to the masses....not considering the lives that can be saved.

[@amyeva3228]
