Matter – What’s it really like to be 18 in America right now?

Being a teenager is not easy. The world seems rather a hostile place where no one understands who you really are. Brilliant story creators at Matter worked with high school seniors from San Francisco to find out what it is really like to be an 18-year old in America. The result is not a linear story retold by journalists. The result is a vivid portrait that stuns with its honest and rich accounts from the teens, depicting their real experiences, opinions and feelings. Every clickable piece of content teleports readers right to the core of the teenagers’ lives. This inspiring storytelling project features essays, videos, photos, poetry, urban dictionary and even a class tumblr, that all accurately transform the students’ personal stories and gives us a glimpse of their undisclosed world.
