Dystopian Writing Prompts and Dystopia Ideas Part 2

 Are you trying to create a future society for your teen dystopian novel?   Here are some ideas to inspire you.

1.   A society in which everyone has a twin, but they must never meet.  One is the "day" twin, and the other is the "night" twin.  The night twin serves as a spare for the day twin. 

2.  A society in which the optimal number of adult humans that the world can sustain has been calculated, and the population is controlled so it does not exceed this number.  Teens must take a variety of tests just before they graduate high school to determine if they are allowed to fit in any slots that opened up during the year - the losers are euthanized.
 
3.  A society where everyone must retain a certain popularity ranking or else they are cast out.
