You should re-read the instructions and also double check your syntax.

I suggested re-reading the instructions because you seem to be dong more than what is being asked. The instructions state:

"I'm going to create a variable named age. I need you to make an if condition that sets admitted to True if age is 13 or more."

The age variable has already been created by the instructor, and if you break your task down into chunks the only thing you need to do is:

As for syntax, remember that the syntax for a conditional statement should end with :, followed by an indented block of code to be executed.

So -

if some_condition:
    run_some_code

Or, to be more specific:

if a >= b:
    c = True

Hopefully this helps!
