My name is Alex, I'm 16, a junior in high school, and I live in Virginia. I'm very interested in politics, and was looking for a place to talk amongst people with a similar viewpoint and this looks like a pretty good place. When politics is brought up at school and I open my mouth, I'm often scolded by my teachers and told I need to be more tolerant. I would say I know a lot more about the economics side of things and less about foreign policy. I'm very pro-life as well. Looking forward to posting here!
