Uncertain future
Melissa Bilge Tüzün
Adults, you probably won't experience these things; however, the future of the youth is uncertain.

Imagine a world where the glaciers have melted, the land has been flooded. The animals have lost their homes, the ecosystem is degraded, hurricanes have become stronger, drought has increased, agriculture is impossible, hunger has started and new diseases appear. For a piece of bread, a few sips of water or a tiny piece of land, people and countries are constantly at war. Life and death means the same. How scary it is even to think about this!
Adults! You probably won't experience these things; however, the future of the youth is uncertain. Please take care about your thoughts and actions. An attitude that you can consider small and insignificant can have a great impact on the lives of future generations. Young people! If you want to live a peaceful life, stop and think.
