Teens please!
I am a teenager and I often find myself clashing with some old world views (not that I am completely opposed to all of them but certain things, according to me, need to change). Choose any topic which is supposedly 'adult' but you think it's your business too. No hurting sentiments please; don't be over-critical. Any form is welcome.. Have fun!

Just Some Hopes for the Future

While I am not a teenager, I'm closer to the younger side of the population (I'm 23) and I agree that certain worldviews need to change. Some beliefs of the older generation drives me crazy. I want a world where people are more accepting of each other, even if that sounds cliche and unattainable. I want people to love each other regardless of sex, gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, age, ability, religion, etc. I want the world to be more open minded in regards to things like sex and alcohol. I want men and women to be ablw to be friends without people assuming sexual overtones. I want a more economically secure world for everyone--meaning everyone has access to food, shelter, and healthcare--even if that raises taxes, even if that means I'm a socialist. I want women to have freedom. I want immigrants to have freedom. I want mental illness to be taken seriously. I want art to be appreciated. I want violence to decrease, even if that means weapon control. I want the environment, and especially cute animals (they all are cute), to be treasured. I want people to know how to read an article--the date, the publisher, the journal, the author--so they know they are getting the best information and not sharing something that causes widespread fear and falsity.

All of my points stems from a place of acceptance, empathy, and open-mindedness. When we can momentarily put our biases aside to listen to the other, I think we can truly understand each other and enact legislations that are best for everyone.

But who knows what will happen, right?

Hello, I'm sorry I'm not a teen, I am younger than a teen but I think we should have a say in voting because we need a good prime minister when we get older, we need to fell like we are counted in, we can't be left out in everything. Can we? I don't want to be left out with everything and I guess you don't either.
