How to educate myself in politics

Every time someone talks about politics and economics I feel so lost and bad cuz I barely know anything about modern politics. My peers seem to know a lot, especially boys. I don't want to be left behind and I want to keep up with them. Whenever history teacher talks about politics and economics, boys join him and they start discussing so intensly and I feel like an alien. I'm still very young but I want to improve myself and be better. Where can I start learning from? How to study it so that I don't get too bored? What sources should I use? Come to think of it, I think I lack a lot of common knowledge that most people seem to just know, like things that are nothing big to know about

How to educate myself in politics [Answer]

sottovoce 20 days

start by getting informed. is there an issue that you care about? you can start by investigating that. what's going on around you, and how did things get that way? build up your knowledge of history (you can start local!), economic systems, and from there you might get into political theory. it's challenging because all these things are intertwined...... 1 reply
