    Do you find teens that go to your school or that you know are very apathetic about world issues? Because I do. I've never understood how people can feel so indifferent towards some of the things that go on in our world.

    Yeah, Edward is my passion. Any idea of which Edward it be? Brownie points to anyone who can figure it out.

    Sorry, Edward G. I love you; I'm just not "in love" with you.

    Good point, Satan (can I call you Satan?). However, it seems like most movements in history come from the youth. Today, not too many teens are interested in movements. I don't know, I've always associated adolescence with effing the system. Anyway, if one realizes it, I believe one should make an effort not to be. We're really all in control of the world...if we try to be. It may not always seem as such, but I believe that is true.

    People are apathetic because htey are encouraged to be so. It suits the ruling class if people arent challenging the status quote and thinking about whats going on.

    I agree with Brandon/Satan. ahahh. " I agree with Satan" :rolleyes:

    I mean, it's not just teens that are apathetic. I think the mass majority of this .. world(?) is apathetic, young and old. No one cares anymore. Personally, I care. I'm not apathetic, and I'm a teen.. But.. Anyhow, you get the idea.

    haha. :D

    yeh, I'd agree that's true, it's not only young people that are apathetic. In the last election inn britain it was the lwoest turn out in a general election ever.

    Ahah.. I know. I hate it. I love our Civics course(despise the teacher though. haha) that we take in school. It really gets kids informed, and we've talked a lot about left wing politics and the green party, etc...

    I think that a lot of the trouble is that these kids don't even pay attention, so when elections come, they either don't go to vote because they're lazy/don't care OR they just vote for one of the top two or three parties in the country seeing as everyone else is.

    And despite what all the americans seem to think, our politics are almost as shitty as yours. The top two here are Progressive Conservative and the Liberal party.. and my god. They are the furthest thing from liberal that I've ever.... ahah. :rolleyes: anyhow, I've carried on far too much.

    That's all for this reply. :D

    They're just self absorbed...let them be while they're young, maybe they'll get it out of their system before they become grownups.

    so your saying teens dont care about anything? then yeh i guess it depends what your talking bout. cos wel i care about them i guess but i dont know much about what goes on in the world and nothing really affects my life, wle it probably does but i dont notice. i care about the environment though which no1 else seems to
