    About voting, yes there is a reason, which I'm full aware of, because most of my friends are this way. Kids (referring to around my ages) aren't usually the first ones to talk about what's going on in the world. I'm taking this from personal experience, because I've talked to my friends. They like to talk about the latest rumours that's been circulating the school, who their latest boyfriend is, and who's hot, 'smart', stupid, arrogant etc. You get my point. The last thing on their minds is who's leading the liberal party next month, or who's going to become our new mayor in town (the fact is, the only time they DO talk about it is when a certain stupid mayor decided kids were too stupid in Ontario and boosted our bloody curriculum up so a lot of people can fail :flaming: ).

    It's the people who remember what they did when they were children and teenagers do they start to realize that, most kids my age don't talk about politics and whatnot.

    Brilliantly said Nobleman. Bravo, bravo. And yes, not many teenagers know a lot about politics, but then again, not all adults do either (though I do believe it is not compulsary to vote in the US over 18, it is here)

    [​IMG] It's compulsary for citizenship now in England. We also have PSHE where we talk about what is going on in the world and our opinions and stuff like that.

    The reason that children might not be interested is because if they ask about things most adults would say 'you wouldn't be interested' or 'maybe when you are older' I have seen it said many times :(

    A reason why some children are disruptive and may seem stupid is because people deny them of things they want to know, meaning they will just turn their backs on it unless someone explains or somehow teaches them.
