text: why are most(insert topic here)protesters school or uni kids? have always found it amusing that when theres a protest about war or globalization or trees etc. 90% of the people marching are well fed middle class kids in high school wearing shirts with slogans gas masks and carrying funny signs..im 23 and i have to say you do a lot of growing up once you hit your 20's...maybe thats it? younger people still believe they can change the world.  lot's of people become disenchanted as they age, even though they still have that power.
