Flip open the newspaper on any given day
and it’s pretty clear, there’s a lot of problems out
there in the world. The good news is you can’t be blamed for
most of them. The bad news is, someone can, and most times
the people to blame are adults.

Page 15 & Annalemma magazine are putting together an anthology
of student writing on the topic: What adults do wrong and how
would you do it right?

Wars, dictatorships, financial disaster, environmental crises,
reality television… It doesn’t even have to be a worldwide problem.
You deal with adults every day–teachers, parents, bosses–who have a direct effect on your life. Adults have got a lot to be held accountable for and we want to hear what you have to say about it.

Tell us in an essay or a short story: How do adults tend to mess everything up? What’s wrong with how the world (your world) works? What needs to be done to make it better? Get thinking. Get mad. But most importantly, get creative!
