You shouldn't. At 14 she is far to young to make that decision and there is a chance she will regret it in later life. My sister has a small but noticable hole in her nose now- she regreats having hers pierced so young. In some states you cannot be pierced anywhere other than the ear until you are 18.

What role did Eleanor Roosevelt play in politics?

If you asked her, she would have said she played no role in politics, but that wasn't entirely true. As the wife of a president in an era that was still very traditional about women's roles, Eleanor still managed to do some things no previous First Lady had done, including talking about current events issues. She had a radio program of her own, and she also wrote a newspaper column; and though most of the time, she tried to keep her topics light and non-controversial, sometimes she would express an opinion about a topic in the news that she cared about, such as when black vocalist Marian Anderson was denied use of a venue in Washington DC because the venue (and Washington itself) was segregated. Eleanor found the snub of Anderson appalling and she said so. She also spoke out about how few women reporters there were, and she demanded that newspapers send women to cover her activities. Thanks to her, a number of women got jobs in journalism. But if you are asking whether she went out and gave political speeches about the issues or played an active role in her husband's campaign, the society was very different back then and she had to stay within certain cultural expectations. But she managed to find ways to push against them, and sometimes her advocacy even led to some social change.

What did Eleanor Roosevelt set out to do bring change into the world?

Whether she intended to or not, Eleanor Roosevelt redefined what a first lady did. Historically, most first ladies had remained in the background, raising kids and hosting parties for visiting dignitaries. But while Eleanor did some of those traditional things, she also had her own radio program and wrote a syndicated newspaper column. Unlike other first ladies, she spoke out on some of the issues of the day, such as advocating for better treatment for black people. She also used her position as first lady to help women journalists, encouraging newspapers to stop hiring only men and give qualified women an opportunity: she even told the editors that unless they sent a female reporter to cover her press conferences, she would not give any interviews. It should be noted that Eleanor was also a polarizing figure-- while many people adored her and saw her as a role model, others felt she was putting herself in the public eye too much. Still, it cannot be denied that she made a difference, and she was a tireless advocate for racial equality and women's equality.
