was 2008 the peak of youth involvement in politics?

I really don't know.

I'm a high school teacher in Denmark, and my perception here is that young people are getting increasingly involved in politics these years. Certainly the youth divisions of our many parties have enjoyed healthy increases in membership tallies over the last decade. I have no idea whether the same could be happening in the US, though.

But let's hope it is. Regardless of partisanship it's always good for any democracy to have people involving themselves.
