admitted = None #this is redundant, cause you can save it on the fly
if age >= 13:
    admitted = True
    else: #you have to have the else, aligned with the if, when it comes to indentation in python
        admitted = False #this will also have to follow, accordingly.

Remember that the python code should always be indented, like this:

admitted = None #This line is not necesary

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

Yes it was the indentation. Thank you very much for helping.
