The Covid year was a challenging one for our teenagers. With the restrictions, they see their best years fly away. Adam is at this waking age where he wants to hang out with his friends. So to stay connected, he spends a lot of time on his video games and neglects his homework. Recently we learned that 2020 ended with a staggering statistic: the failure rate of high school students is four times higher than at the same time last year. Following our conversation, I wanted to photograph him so that he realizes how he is caught up in addictive behavior that contributes to his academic failure. https://www.luciefoundation.org/open-call-the-guardian-project/#
