Your generation is going to lead the world

Mentalities

People of today don´t care about each other, they don´t even seem to understand what really means the word "society", each one lives for himself and nobody cares about their neighbours. Can adults change the world? No, because we, their children, we're the future, so the change depends on us and for that reason it's important to fight against this mentality. It's important that tomorrow everybody live together, only that way we'll truly evolute.

by Pedro Barbosa
