Do youths nowadays care much about the politics or they simply do not bother as they have nothing much to worry about? Youths nowadays are brought up differently, and most of them are busy with their own activities (internet surfing and video gaming). Do they still care as much as their parents does?

Hello Hinkerbell, I occasionally miss the debates too - I am having too many assignments and stuffs to attend to that I clearly forgotten about it. Haha, yeah, maybe teenagers should stay out from the complicated world of politics and stick to what is familiar to us - our favorite show!

I am sorry to say no. Today's young people are to lazy to read or check on the candidates. Many of them are happy to let Brad Pitt or who ever is the flavor of the day tell them who to vote for. I am glad I am of an age that I will not have to see the out come of this travesty.

Hello Patms1, That is an interesting saying from you, maybe next time when there is a election the candidates will consider to include a celebrity inside their team, so the celebrity can be their spoke person!

Dear friend, There are very few youths and that few are much dedicated to politics and some in this few are well in this game and also corrupted and a majority of students have other engagements and in this some feel that politics is only for corrupt people or all politicians are corrupted people. Hence I feel the that youths are becomeing less involved as per areas and region wise in our place. But still those youths who are involved are much stronger in their involvement.

Hello Shamrack, From what you said, seems like those who don't care really don't care, and those who care really care a lot. Well, I think it is a good thing, as long as they are doing what they like. Thanks for sharing this observation, it is interesting.
