Yes, and I find that to be a problem. I believe that the ones like you will become the strong debaters and pro-active individuals. It's people like you who will be running the show in days to come. Good for you, perhaps not so great for them.

You guys are the only ones who can fix it. Encourage people your age to become active. My arguement at your age was, "Maybe YOU like to be pushed around and told what to do, but not me! I'm going to get loud and in their face. I for one WON'T be ignored." That arguement got quite a few of my friends active. There's no better way to get a young person motivated than to show them something that is trying to "tell them what to do". 😀

I agree about getting in thier face.
I agree about getting loud.
I agree about not being ignored.
I disagree that this is the best way to get young people motivated.
I know lots of young people.I don't know many who need motivation.
