There is a disturbing issue with today's youth, and it goes much further then apathy. The youth of today's age is being put down by the adults who do not feel that the youth is old enough to voice their opinions on how they feel that they want their community, state, or even nation to run. As an 18 year old, and being involved in politics for the past 3 years of my life, I know the hard road ahead in standing up for what you believe in.
