Have your say Leave her alone! At least she’s interested at all. I’m an 18 year old student at university; it’s a great change from the total apathy and mindlessness of my peers back home. Whenever I read articles about young people wanting to go into politics and/or make some changes to the world miserable old people always rain on their parade. Everyone is unpracticed and raw at eighteen; at least she isn’t jaded and cynical.
