Do young people have an interest in politics?

 One of my early essays(edited). A well-planned esssay. But unfortunately, quite brief. It scarcely fulfills the word limit. :(

My Exams are (almost, but not quite) over. That means I can type and upload the fantastic essays I wrote for them! XD

So, this one was a quite surprising topic(Young people of today have no interest in politics. What are your views?). I mean, in Pakistan, it is quite contrary to the statement above. But that meant I could establish a strong arguement, so I decided to go for it. :D 

I disagree with the opinion that youngsters of today have no interest in politics. In fact, I believe that today’s youth holds a strong interest in politics.

Most strength in political party rallies is from the youth. Young people participate more enthusiastically in political events than adults, who are either uninterested in such events or have other priorities. Young people find this a fun pastime and participate in such events with great gusto and zest. Moreover, youngsters often help in organizing such events and help in arrangements. Majority of political party workers are also passionate young people.

Youngsters have their own fans and they personally support some particular political parties and admire political leaders. Adults may be wrong in perceiving that young people do not know much about politics and are unaware about most political activity but they actually know quite a lot about this subject. Those who are not old enough to cast their own votes try to persuade parents- or other people who are of age and can vote- to vote for the parties they themselves support. They are ready to launch into a debate and can give lots of reasoning for why one particular party is worth voting for. They do not usually succeed in persuading but try their best by presenting logical and unavoidable reasons.

Young people are often seen taking part or showing interest in political discussions with their peers or with adults. They like to express their views on political affairs and want to be heard as well. They can also be seen listening -with great zeal- to political news being shared and pass it on to others.

In lots of political parties, student unions are formed which are especially for youngsters; college or university pupils. Here young people are seen participating with great passion and enthusiasm, in organizing events or rallies. Often students express their devotedness with the party by doing wall-chalking and by doing graffiti on walls which express their dedication.

In fact, in several universities, colleges, and educational institutions, young people take more interest in political activity and happenings rather than focusing on what is being taught. Their studies become affected by such interests as all their attention is diverted towards political activities. At such times politics can become a distraction for youngsters and can lead to destruction but there is no denying the fact that young people hold a strong interest in politics!
