"Well, I was informed at 14, but then again, I got interested in politics at that age, and it's not exactly something normal, most 14 year olds I knew did not know a thing about them."
Shadow Nexus, I would say that you have a better understanding of politics than most adults and even those so called intelligent adults.
But as far as a population of 14 year olds, your peers probably struggled with the plot of "Power Rangers" or were too interested in the Spice Girls (Espanola translation of course!!!) to even be aware of obstacles to weekend leisure time known as 'books'.
"I've never voted ever since my 18th birthday voting time. I’ll vote when and if I see a candidate I actually trust."
The problem with this attitude is that your vote goes to the winner... Think about it. As an example, if there is a vote for abortion laws and you remain undecided - if abortion is implemented then your vote has effectively helped the winning policy. This is known as "Democratic truancy" and the Bush government relied on it to get into power last time. Everyone who did not vote effectively voted for Bush.
