It has been decided: we crave luxury, our hands too soft for any injury. One claims we are lost, that our paths are covered in dust. Clumsy, spoiled, careless bastards, frightened by any assignment. We are scolded, accused of crimes, whereas all we want is to make rhymes. It is allowed to speak up freely, however, we are shut up constantly. Every sentence of ours is deemed a mindless desire. We question rules, we test what’s true, but they still call it rebellion instea

They said: She will be great, And She will be kind. She has to be brave As this world is wild. Their expectations All never-ending, Bitter companions So, She’s descending. And now She has grown Her spark’s become dull. She’s sorely alone Voice trapped in her skull. Although She’s alive Who’d call it a life, If She was only five When She drew a knife. All girls, all daughters Never seen more than wives Tears like rainwater Drop next to the chives. And now: Mother say

In a world full of happiness, joy, love, and excitement— Children are building another world. Another world for themselves. The world bows to children— crowns on their heads, power in their eyes— kings, queens, Big Bosses of the chaos we made. And the parents? Tiny little creatures. Parents, who give all the love, all the knowledge, shield us from every evil, every jeopardy. They say we have bad manners. But who taught us to speak? Who taught us to throw words like stones? Wh

Once upon a time, dragons lived. They flew across the skies and hunted after food. It was very majestic. They lived in harmony, and they had respect toward each other. On a beautiful Sunday, a man appeared, and he turned upside down the whole dragon universe. The man sent troops to attack the dragons and dominate the land where the dragons lived. The dragons had much work to scare the people, because the men were powerful and fearless. They fought through 10 years, and they d

What a beautiful spring day to walk in the park! I couldn't have asked for more. I wonder what flowers I will see today, I have no idea. Oh look, a blue orchid and a rose! Nature is so beautiful. Spring must be my favorite season, that is full of vibrant colors and flowers, kids enjoying their time, not caring about what is around them. It's a way to put everything aside and just turn off for a minute. Oh look, there's my brother, he seems very happy, let's go say hi! "Hey Ch

At every second something changes Time flies… A baby born, an elderly person dies. No one and nothing are the same But people are still judging, what a shame! Generations are swapping too In a good or a wrong way? depends on what we gain insight into. Nowadays children have another life Being a new generation’s pillars. Whereas people from the past Were thankful for the few things they had People of this generation with all the luxury Are just asking “Is this all? Only?”

It was impossible not to love her She was like a sunset And the night sky combined Her beautiful hair, Falling down her shoulders Her eyes like the blue sky But is it impossible not to love her? Behind those eyes there’s pain Her brain and heart in war The moment night falls Her eyes become filled with tears It’s a cry for help or more What a shame, No one notices her pain, No one believes her Unless there’s blood everywhere Iedlicska Nóra IX.H

It's easy to blame a generation, If you don’t make the effort To understand those, Who surround you. I know that we are something else Confusing and unclear, However, also brave, Moreover, creative. Other generations never see Our attempts to comply, just The ones who build up A multitude of bad theories. Yes, we are not perfect, But nobody is, However, I know that We will bring change. If you see closer, Things are more complicated, Our generation absorbs others And turns th

There are days when everything feels too much, like an ocean is running through us. Then you hide inside a bubble, forgetting or avoiding all the trouble. That is the time when you open your wings, seeking jubilation in different kinds of things. Dancing around, immersing in music, just dreams to follow, living like there is no tomorrow. Inside the safe place you can gently rest, let the quiet thoughts pass through your chest. You can dream freely, no need to pretend, you

It’s the last module, I’m sitting in class, Students are desperate for the summer break. We try to survive with coffees, we might mix it with nes, We cannot ruin our grades, there cannot be a mistake. It’s the final countdown, the last one hundred meters. The 12th graders are slowly but surely having their farewell, They leave their cozy desks that were warm like heaters. One more month and then there will come the last bell. This school year flew over my head at a crazy pace

Now that I see things with a great sense of recognition I begin to sense a new departure, I am pained by premonition. Since the unripe generation is no longer us We fall into a pit of misunderstanding and disgust. No longer children, Not adults either, Trying to still run From something that has long begun. Looked down by old-timers for still being too childish, While the youngsters make fools out of themselves for being behind it. Troubled by addictions Never seen such e

We begin with Socrates’ warning, a voice from centuries ago, where children were already guilty of growing further from their parents’ shelter. You say we love luxury, but our luxury is silence, a moment without buzzing screens and a breath without warnings. We speak in rapid messages, with our thumbs racing over the screen, yet our thoughts travel oceans in seconds. Yes, we challenge our parents, because we want to understand, not simply repeat. We test the old rules t

Again and again I wake up. Alarm buzzing. Phone booming. Mom screaming my name from the kitchen like I'm already late. My eyes barely open but my mind is already on the verge of collapsing. Notifications flashing, homework I forgot, tests I didn't study enough for. Five more minutes turns into instant panic. Go home, but it doesn't stop there. Homework waiting. Assignments due at midnight. I lie in bed staring at the ceiling, knowing tomorrow it all starts again. Tulogdy

(Night. Moonlight. Albert tiptoes toward a ground-floor window. He smooths his already immaculate coat. Clears his throat. Jumps at the sound of his own shoe scraping the pavement.) Albert (whispering to himself) Steady now. Steady. Confidence, Albert, Shakespeare’s blood boils inside your veins! (He starts to recite, but realizes that nobody can hear him through the closed window, facepalms.) Idiot. (He taps gently on the glass. Waits. Smiles too early. Clears his throat aga

The boat floated on the mirrorlike water like a feather levitating in the air, leaving no trace but miniature waves on the smooth surface. Friendly branches reached over the blue-green, a cascade of nature. A calm took over her as she got lost in the scarlet orange of the sunset. She took a breath, now sure that her life would be balanced after all. A fortnight ago, she had thought she would not survive another day, scared, scarred by love, not one inch of her body escaping t

Exams are quite stressful, difficult, But also extremely important. Their role is tremendous in our life, Especially for those, who want to go to University. Before any exam there’s a long, hard, exhausting period of time, Where all knowledge is gathered and every day is about stress. But I think it’s worth it. At least some of that time. Because when we look at the results, We will realise that it is possible. Varga Antónia XII. H

To be loved is to be known, Cause I don’t want flowers if they aren’t my favourite, I want to hold hands cause it’s God's greatest gift I hope to be known, Not suspected. I want to be studied like a stupid little textbook That you found on the way home Take your time study me Cause even if you don’t have the money to make it happen You still got to know me better than anyone else could Iedlicska Nóra IX.

My family and I woke up really early because the plane was leaving at 8 o’clock. At the airport I ate some snacks and a sandwich. After that we got on the airplane. The flight was about two hours. After we landed, we packed our things and went to our hotel. Our hotel was next to the Red Sea. We ate something in a restaurant and then we swam in the sea. The water was really warm. The next day we took a bus and then we drove to the pyramids. A guide showed us all the pyramids.

No one in the village dared to enter the forest after sunset. Even during the day, most people stayed far from its shadowed edge. They called it, The Cursed Forest, a place where the trees whispered, the time was frozen, and the wind carried voices that no one could explain. For generations, stories had been told about travelers who walked into the forest and were never seen again. Some said the forest was alive. Others believed an ancient spirit guarded it carefully, but no

Below a hill, a hidden meadow slowly rises, Covered by the wide and pale blue skies, An endless roof, a field for white fluffy sheep, A peaceful view you can’t hold or keep. Small buds now decorate the tall apple trees, Spring asserts her visit, wrapping fields in green leaves. Winter slowly fades, she has many other places to be, An old tendent returns, telling tales of what she’s seen. In midst of this a lovely girl appears, Long flowing hair adorned with pearls, Her go
