As a teenager, I regularly argued with teachers about economics. I'm pretty sure my senior year AP American Government teacher hated me, but I knew how to game all his tests to the point I never studied yet aced every one. I legit did nothing else in that class but group projects (I had a few conservative friends in there) and just generally spent most of the time debating the teacher. Still passed just fine. Sophomore year I had a legit femi-nazi for an English Lit teacher. The department required reading list included Ayn Rand's Anthem, her scathing rebuke of collectivism depicting it as the nightmare dystopia it is. Suffice to say, Ms.GirlPower didn't understand a bit of the book, she was convinced it was about misogyny b/c Ayn Rand (as a women) MUST have been writing about the patriarchy. I shit you not, she was that deluded. That was probably the first time I ever called a teacher 'dumb as a box of rocks' to their face, wasn't the last time tho. I ended up earning the respect of all the staff with actual power, such as the dean, so I got away with LOTS of crap. Sorta used and abused the tactics of the enemy. Nothing quite like walking into the deans office, her giving you a stern look, then closing the door and breaking out laughing cause the prank you pulled on the pedo science teacher was just amazing. It helped that everyone KNEW he was a creeper. I just got a slap on the wrists. Yeah, I've got some pretty trippy stories from my teen years.

Safe to say there was a fair few times the right orientated students got into a huge let’s say “competitive” debate with the teacher and some of the left orientated students who were as cavalier with their opinions as the teacher was. Best one I remember though was when we had a synthesis project and two of the students who were openly republican decided to do theirs on a couple Tom MacDonald songs “Fake Woke” and I believe “Snowflake.” They had first went to the principle to make sure if anyone had gotten offended during the presentation that they wouldn’t be able to stir shit up at the office and they apparently got the go ahead. Teacher didn’t mind at first, of course she reluctantly did it. Probably the last entertaining part that whole quarter. Stirred up a lot and I just sat there enjoying the chaos.

I bought that book about 20 years ago. After I read it, my mom borrowed and read it. Then three different guys at work did. The second guy was kind enough to tape up the spine. (It had seen so much use that it was literally falling apart.) The third coworker returned it, then asked to borrow it again so his teenage son could read it. I never did get it back, but I feel like I sure got my money's worth.

@@TheUzamaki1234 Well, I'm a reasonably well-educated person, but my schooling taught me very little about economics. So I sought out a book that would help me learn. By dumb luck, I stumbled upon this one, and I found that it explained things in a way that was easy for me to grasp. Many years later, I bought and read Sowell's 'Advanced Economics'. I'm glad I found both of these great resources!

True story, I came out as Libertarian in the 90s before it was cool. my parents were actually disappointed and told me I would just be throwing my votes away. It was actually Barry Goldwater and economic theory of Pat Buchanan that made me see economics as it was. The NAFTA deal was my turning point as a teenager and saw the back room deals of the day in politics. The Unions and the Democrats opposed it but Clinton passed it and there wasn't much commotion or anything. I remember realising at 15 years old that there was a political agenda against the people and that even then the media was not for the people.

Sadly I missed the signs earlier. Where were you a couple years ago Babylon Bee! My poor 18 yo son literally has no friends his age because of his beliefs in God, personal Freedoms and economics. But what is worse (may want to include these in warning signs) is he does have is a full scholarship to a good college to earn a CPA degree, a good paying summer job ( physical labor no less) and has already started an investment account with the 10k he has earned this summer. Like AK’s, investing should be outlawed for under 21 and then have appropriate 🚩 laws in place. We would not want young people to be financially independent or ….gasp… wealthy.

Hoarding and sharing the dankest memes is a sure sign. If he's been banned by Facebook for sharing memes - huge red flag.

My son is 3 and already is saying things like “abolish the federal reserve” “taxation is theft” and “live free or die”. I think he might’ve gotten these bad behaviors from me, since I am a libertarian in recovery. But I’ve been trying to do right by my son to raise him to be a trans queer anti fascist. What should I do? Only constructive comments will be appreciated and responded to.

As a teenager who owns a copy of Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell I found it very difficult to come out to my father as a liberatarian, not because he is unaccepting however. Instead reason being that there is merely not enough time in a day to finish a political discussion with the very man who bought me the book.

If you rage quit Sim City because you didn’t win by setting taxes to zero, you might be a Libertarian.

I caught my son secretly looking up Congress.gov bills, reading them late at night, and then correcting everyone who believed what the media said recently. I sat my son down to tell him, "It's not OK to tell people if they're wrong! The media has that right! They are always right. Believe everything they say... OBEY!'" Sometimes, I wonder... is he playing the act of a media-always-gets-it-right, government-hugging, snobbish Pelosi lover? So far, I have not found any libertarian signs yet.

Wow. I'm in my 40s, but this absolutely struck close to home for my teen years.

Reminds of a time in high school when I got there a little late so I had to stop and sit down at a table on my way through the cafeteria to my homeroom class when the announcements came on. Then when they said to stand for Oh Canada I didn't bother and the supervising teacher asked me on the way out why I was the only one who didn't. I told him, "I don't need this totalitarian crap from the school every morning" and he was amused and sent me on my way. (I do like Canada - I have a Canadian flag hanging from my door frame outside - but I despise the tyranny the government is trying to foist on us). I've basically been a libertarian since I was 10 years old. That's when I started breaking rules that I didn't care for or agree with. In my opinion lbertarianism at its most basic is simply following the golden rule.

My son actually thought that working hard and saving for the future so he wouldn’t have to rely on the government was a good thing. I spent hours teaching him the benefits of welfare to no avail.
