The State of U.S. Kids
What is it like to be you? To find out, TIME FOR KIDS and KidsHealth asked 1,000 kids about life in the United States.
It's report-card time at the White House. Soon, President Barack Obama will grade the country in an important speech to the American people and Congress: the State of the Union address. In his speech, the President will report on how well the country is doing.
What about the nation's kids? TIME FOR KIDS and KidsHealth wanted to know how things are going for you. To find out, we went straight to the source. We asked 1,000 kids, ages 9 to 13, about life at home, at school and in the U.S. What we learned surprised us, impressed us and reminded us that being a kid isn't always easy.
