Teenagers are supposed to be the people in our country who don't really serve a purpose. We go to school, we hang out with our friends, we eat, sleep, watch TV, contribute to the internet. This is how it's always been. The adults are in charge, and things are that way for a reason. They have more experience and are physically and mentally more capable than we are. Well, at least some of them.
But just because we don't have to worry about the world right now doesn't mean we'll never have to. To us it doesn't matter that the full retirement age is being raised. But what about in forty or so years when we've all got kids in college and we want to retire? Won't it matter to us then? And what happens if we don't think of an immediate solution to global warming? The teenagers today are the adults of tomorrow and we have to inherit everything -the good and the bad- that the adults decide to leave for us. Which is why it's crucial that we all start to understand things that happen in our world now. Maybe if we learn from the mistakes our parents make we can prevent more bad things from happening. Or at least handle them better when they do happen.
