Does your teen read the news?

[purpleroses]

DS is nearly 14 and has no inclination to read/watch/listen to the news. I feel he ought to be doing by his age. I tend to read online though so no papers lying round the house (except freebe local which he ignores). Is this the problem?

Any tips for getting them to take more interest in the world around them?

DSD is 22, final year at uni, predicted to get good grades etc., - has no idea who the prime minister is and no interest in politics or world affairs.
