Hi Steemit! Nice meeting you.

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi everyone! My name is John-David and I'm 16 years old. I live in Quebec, the French-speaking part of Canada, but I'm English. Anyway, my brother-in-law, @cryptoctopus, has been talking about Steemit for a long time, and it always intrigued me. But I never knew what I would be able to do on this platform. And then a couple of weeks ago it hit me that I could write about politics.

Ever since I was a little kid, I've enjoyed politics and current events. So I thought Steemit would be a great platform to discuss the latest news from around the world. I'm planning to use videos as well as writing to do this. It's important to understand the direction the world is taking, and the impact that current events will have. I also noticed that there aren't very many political pages on Steemit. I was also thinking that some people might find it interesting to hear a teenager's perspective on the big political news stories. I'll try to start each video/article by objectively analyzing the news story and discussing its implications. After that, I'll give my personal opinion on what happened.

I'm really looking forward to using this platform to share my thoughts on society and where we're heading. Let me know what you think in the comments! Cheers!

Goodluck champ!

Welcome to Steemit. I'm excited to read your take on current events. So few teenagers realize that their voice and opinion matters. I coach an Urban High School Policy Debate Team and I'm always amazed by the insights my kids come up with during a debate round.

Thanks! One of my goals is to encourage other young people to get engaged in current issues.

Your post is v nice mister .@resteem

welcome to this community ...

Thanks!

Hello @myviewsonthenews and welcome to Steemit! I think you spelt @cryptoctopus wrong in your post :)

I'm looking forward to hearing your perspective on the latest happenings.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Welcome to our community.

Thank you!

Your welcome.
Stay connected.

Welcome to steemit @myviewsonthenews. You got a very interesting niche. You are right, not many steemit bloggers would like to write about politics.

I do read politic related news from Canada from time to time. Sometimes on international politics.

That could be a mouthful for a 16 years old boy. But I guess, if you are really interested on it, nobody can stop you really. Who knows, down the road, you can replace Mr. Trudeau.

Thank you for sharing.
Cheers

Thanks! Maybe someday I will replace him (:

John-David, welcome to steemit! Looking forward to hearing more about your views. Wishing you a lot of luck on this platform! :-)

Thanks @yasminep!

Welcome to Steemit! Nice to see someone from the younger generations joining us here. You’ve certainly got the right connections to do well quickly. Looking forward to reading your take on political issues. 👍🏼

Thanks!

Welcome to Steemit brother! Long way to go :)

Thanks!

My advice for anyone that loves politics is to read Murray Rothbard's, 'Man, Economy, and State with Power and Market.'

That sounds interesting!

Welcome to Steemit! I'm an artist on the South Shore of Montreal in Brossard, so, pretty close by considering some of the people I meet on here are in Australia, Nigeria, Turkey etc! lol Nice to connect with some local folks on here :)

Oh cool! I didn't think there would be many other Quebecers on Steemit.

There's a few, some of the earliest adopters and at least one witness is from Quebec :) I wish I would have joined the first time I heard about it over a year ago lol

Hello John-David and welcome to Steemit. Your topics of choice to talk about are right up my alley. 👍

Sounds great. I love me some politics and current events as well as human behavior. Look forward to discussion with you on these matters :)
