With our leaders so clueless, we have no faith in their protection. I am constantly aware of adults' offensive stares, scorn, cold comments, and fear. The media portray us as bad guys. Police officers who see us just chilling out in front of our homes assume we are troublemakers. They often ask to search us.
People wonder why so many teens are committing suicide.
So we adapt as best we can. More and more kids are growing uncomfortable with their future. America must listen to us.
