Okay, so maybe this post's title isn't quite accurate yet. But I hope it will be soon. For a long time, I've wanted to be a part of something online where us in the younger generation can share our opinions. I have some pretty strong beliefs, including this one: that no matter how important the topic, no matter how strongly one feels about it, one should always speak (or, on this blog, write) gently. It is important to care for the opposing side as fellow humans, with reasons behind their stance. And the more firmly and passionately one gives their opinion, the more one should listen to the other side and present logical reasons behind their arguments. The opposing party is far more likely to hear you out if you are respectful and reasonable.
Of course, I also want to make polls on lighthearted topics, and hear opinions on those too.
The blog's title is "Teen Polls and Opinions." In truth, I mean this blog to be open to people past their teen years as well. Keep in mind, though, that this blog is primarily for those of us under 25 (that's a random number past 19 and below 30).
For each poll, I'll make a corresponding blog post for discussion. Let's have fun, keep it clean, and get our minds a-thinking!
One last note: if you have a topic you'd like a poll about, please suggest it here. What would you like to hear about?
