Back when I was a communist, my Mum carefully made it very difficult for me to find out anything more about it or discuss it, without being seen to do so. Still, didn't stop her from banning me from SE!
Now, Mum just stresses because she doesn't think you should be political at my age, Dad keeps a respectful distance on all political debate, my brothers get bored with it very quickly, and my Step Mum and one of my step brothers who is a year older than me are the only family members I can have a serious debate with.
As for friends, a handful share my opinions (mostly), but most think I'm a reasonable sort of crazy.
But adults are different. "Too young, doesn't know anything. Just wait till he's older..."
Down with age discrimination!!
