How to motivate young voters
I'm a teenager, and I can say that many of my friends don't really care about politics. No more than ten know what's happening, and of those, only a few actually think about politics. So, why such political apathy? Because of a lack of education, and a lack of interest on the part of middle-aged adult voters. The more uninterested these voters are, the more uninterested their children will be. It is therefore not just the responsibility of young voters but also that of their parents to instill in them a sense of the importance of politics and government.
