Yes, they are demonstrating for more political commitment and against climate change.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

I think they could also demonstrate without skipping school. They are just lazy.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

I don't think they are lazy. They just wanted to grab everybody's attention, and it worked admittedly.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

They should focus on studying and leave the big decisions to people who know what they are doing.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

I think you are being a bit harsh. It's their future as well, and they want politicians to do more for that future.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

But what does protesting against climate change even mean? They don't have any answers either.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

If you actually listened to them, you would have heard some of their demands.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

If you know them so well, then name some.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

They want politicians to commit to the Paris Climate Agreement or the coal phase-out.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)

I still think they should grow up first.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-m1-150x150.png)

It's hopeless to have a productive discussion with you about this topic.![](https://www.lingoneo.org/learn-english/wp-content/uploads/sites/23/2021/02/avatar-f1-150x150.png)
