EDITORIAL

When I heard Krakkaveldi was going to take over Grapevine’s April issue, I thought: “Okay, am I really going to write articles for a paper?! That’s crazy and really exciting!”

At first, I was a bit stressed that my interview questions weren’t good enough, but then it all turned out well, and I think our articles are actually really good!

What Krakkaveldi is writing about is all very different and exciting. A few kids are writing about Eurovision, some are writing about mental health, but no matter the subject, they are all very fun and thoughtful.

It’s important that kids get to learn and write about things they find interesting. It matters to us that people read and respect our articles and thoughts, and that they listen when we say something needs to change.

If I was an adult, I would find kids writing the articles way more interesting and readable than if an adult had written them. The bottom line is this: Krakkaveldi is the best and will rule the world one day. You adults just wait till you read our articles, we are amazing!
