“I’m not the kind of person who celebrates birthdays,” Greta Thunberg said as she turned 17 on Friday, marking the occasion in inimitable style - with a seven-hour hour protest outside the Swedish parliament.
The climate activist braved winter conditions in her native Stockholm to continue the weekly Friday School Strike for the Climate campaign that helped catapult her to international fame.
“I stand here striking from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. as usual ... then I’ll go home,” Thunberg, Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019, told Reuters.

“I won’t have a birthday cake but we’ll have a dinner.”
It’s been a busy 12 months for Thunberg, who crisscrossed the globe by car, train and boat - but not plane - to demand action on climate change.
“It has been a strange and busy year, but also a great one because I have found something I want to do with my life and what I am doing is having an impact,” she said.

You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a pig. This little brat is ugly, inside and out.
Take the time to watch the link above. It’s made for everyday folks.
“I won’t have a birthday cake but we’ll have a dinner.”
So are we celebrating or not?
I bet that she has a prinsesstårta before the day ends.
17 - 12 = 5 year old teen-ager with a huge ego.
Why all the coats, hats, and gloves?
Paging Swedish Truant Officer, Paging Swedish Truant Officer...
Please pick up the red courtesy phone.
Greta is rapidly reaching her expiration date. It won’t be pretty when she goes all Lindsey Lohan. I wouldn’t blame her either. What would I do if I was convinced I only had 10 years to live at 17?
warm weather, since you look very uncomfortable standing in the cold protesting Global Warming...😋
Well, sweetie, I'm not the kind of person that thinks a spoiled, coached and brainwashed 17 year old retarded moron has much to say of any substance about anything.
So why would I give a shit if you celebrate a birthday or not?
Truth be told, I don't give a damn if you live or die...I just don't care beyond the little bit of interest it took me to generate enough effort to make this post.
So...go away.
Go back to school, truant girl! You are being used. No one likes you!
Piers Corbyn nails it.
Greta IS ignorant, brainwashed and abused.
Methinks the child from Stockholm is suffering Stockholm syndrome.
She needs a birthday party with cake, ice cream and her parents far, far away.
How sad that someone with Piers Corbyns credentials is marginalized while a Swedish sock puppet like Grrrreta is feted and celebrated.
When I was 16/17, I played basketball, video games, and tried to get with chicks.
This chick is weird as Hell...
“I still say Brad Dourif is her real daddy.”
Same demented look plus her mom was a Swedish singer so probably got around a LOT. Only a DNA test can tell for sure.
Mr Povich, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

I was 17 when I graduated from High School.
She is just a sophomore at 17 and not in school, and we are supposed to listen to her?
17-year-old receives master's degree from TCU, and his 14-year-old brother is following his lead
She looks like a muslim in training. A lot of them don’t celebrate birthdays either.
[That will be her real legacy...a meme that everyone mocks til the end of time.]
Yes, and deservedly-so.
