Why do 14-year olds tend to have such contrived political views?

Because they are 14.

lol Yeah, pretty much.  They're probably first starting to pay attention to politics, but they are still overly hormonal and irrational.  They also think they're right all the time and are still easily swayed by others' opinions. 

I couldn't get along with my younger brother until he was 15.  It was awful when he was 13 and 14.  He thought he was the coolest person ever.  Then, during the horribleness of sophomore year, he realized he wasn't everything he thought he was and grew up a little lol

Next year, I hope, the 14-year-olds on here will be more mature.

    When I was 14, I was a right-populist whose views somehow combined the two most contradictory ideologies ever, fundamentalism & positivism.

lol That's funny.  There was a kid who went to my high school who called himself, I think, a populist-anarchist.  He eventually realized this made no sense and changed his views probably when he wasn't 14 anymore lol
