Not quite true for me. I've been following politics since I was 14 years old. However, it's sadly true in most cases, especially since some teenagers can't even define what capitalism and communism are (at least from my experiences). Another thing that annoys me is when teenagers wear Che Guevara shirts without knowing anything about the guy.

If you don't know the definition and difference of communism and capitalism, then you haven't been past the 10th grade, maximum, yet. Teenagers do learn what it is in school, if they're able to attend one. And considering the majority of teens do go to school in the United States, this graph does not apply to anyone above the 10th grade in the HS system. To be fair, there are a lot of just, to put it simply, stupid people/teens out there in America that learn what it is, but forget because they don't care, but I still disagree with the graph.
Also, to be fair again, people who are teenagers in 2012, that means they grew up with the internet. Frankly, I don't blame them, and them especially therefore, for being concerned over the internet being threatened. The internet is filled with a lot of valuable information. Teenagers are more concerned with the entertainment it provides, probably, but any opposition to SOPA for any personal reason is good enough for me.
I find the graph funny more than sad. I'm not too concerned with what people my age care about, because we teenagers really affect nothing in the world, frankly. When we all go to college though, if this graph is still true, then I'll be sad.
