An open letter to hypocritical adults

You tell your kids to "play nice."

You tell your kids "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all."

And most importantly, you teach your kids the Golden Rule:

"Treat others the way you want to be treated."

Donald Trump you are many things, but you are also a father. And if you tell your young son any of these things, you are a liar. You are a hypocrite. Instead tell him that it's okay to take what isn't yours, that it's ok to be mean to others, that your actions don't have any consequences, tell him that some people are born superior. And some aren't.

I live in a world where we have anti-bullying rules in school but not in politics, where they teach us acceptance and diversity when we're young but preach hate and division to our parents, where we learn about recycling in class but big businessmen tear down our forests, where violence isn't tolerated when we are kids but is the solution to everything for politicians.

I'm just a teenager. But I know this. I know that adults need to remember what they were taught as children. Remember what you are teaching your children. What kind of example do you want to be setting for them? And what kind of world do you want them to grow up in?
