Staring off into the distance while dangling their legs off the side of the town’s water tower, the nation’s youth reported Thursday that they can’t wait to get out of this town. “No one understands me here,” said eighteen year old Cranston resident Silas McKee, voicing the feelings of many kids his age. “I feel trapped. My parents are always on my case and there’s nothing to do here on the weekends because we’re in the middle of nowhere. I mean it when I say I’m getting out of here once I graduate.” At press time, the nation’s youth announced plans to never move to a small town like this when they’re older.
