Adults keep saying: "We owe it to the young people to give them hope."
But I don't want your hope.
I don't want you to be hopeful.
I want you to panic.
I want you to feel the fear I feel every day.
And then I want you to act.
I want you to act as you would in a #crisis.
I want you to act as if our house is on fire.
Because it is.
