Discuss how Malala reacts to the challenges she faces, as well as the challenges to Swat and Pakistan. How do her peers react? What gives them strength?

This is a pretty detailed question for this short answer space. Malala speaks out, often to foreign media, about inequality and women's rights. This gets her in trouble with the Taliban. I think her peers are much quieter about these issues. Malala gets her strength primarily from her father and role models like ex prime minister Benazir Bhutto.
