I don't know what I am doing wrong here.

It keeps telling me that Task 1 is no longer passing. Please help!

conditions.py 
admitted = None

if age >= 13:
    admitted = True 
    else: 
        admitted = False

Your code is perfectly fine, all you have to do is indent backwards the "else:" statement and it's block of code

Just to be silly, improperly indented code is not perfectly fine - it is wrong in Python.
