My dad was a social studies teacher back in the day, and majored in social studies education during his undergrad, so growing up we were always learning about how the government works, as well as its history. He encouraged us to read about these sorts of things, and we always talked about current events and the forces that shaped them from the past. When I took "People and Politics" my senior year of high school I was definitely more prepared than most of my peers.
