Hello, I am a 14 year old male Socialist from Northern Ireland. In my area, political interest is somewhat low. I go to a Catholic school (Unfortunately).
I am not at all religious and my opinion of segregated schools is extremely strong. I am in favor of mixed religion schools.

As for the political situation in my school, people are not that interested in politics but there are a select few that have a moderate or strong interest in it.
I regularly talk about politics to my friends and I try to convert them to the 'left'. I have succeeded to a certain extent. I only really have a few loyal comrades and the rest are moderate leftists and beyond that, people just don't care.

People I know are misinformed about pretty much everything there is to know about politics and economics. Some people even call me an unsociable Socialist, this is because I do not engage in their immature activities. I try to explain that Socialism is an economic theory and has nothing to do with socializing.

I became a Socialist over time. I was an anarchist for a while but since there wasn't very much theory behind it and I was confused about how it could possibly work I decided to look at alternatives. After that I began to study Socialism. I constantly research and study politics and economics as I do not get out much. I have always had sympathy for people who starve to death as a result of having a lack of food.

When I began to realize that the reason for this was Capitalism I began to become increasingly leftist. I try to raise awareness about politics and economics all the time.

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

Where did your studies lead you thus far in the sense of political ideas? And what's the left like in your area?

Dude, that is literally almost the same story with me, except it took me till I was 17 to care at all about politics. :lol: Anyway, welcome.

In my area there is not very much leftist activity. Very little people in my town care about politics. It is rather unfortunate.
