In my opinion, the age for voting should be lowered to sixteen. A couple of years ago, there wasn't much information on the parties and candidates that really interested teens. Now, it is all over the news and in schools and we have student votes that prepare us for the voting process. On Youtube, there are ads on the candidates and what they want to change.
Another point is the fact that sixteen/seventeen-year-olds are able to drive at the age of sixteen which could potentially cause people to lose lives. I've always thought that sixteen is really young to drive, but I don't feel that way about voting. Also, not all sixteen/seventeen-year-old's care about voting, therefore not all of them will do it. A lot of parents and teachers do a good job of letting students know about politics and what the right decisions are.
Sixteen/seventeen-year-old's are more educated and trustworthy when it comes to voting.
Nice looking post Megan and well expressed opinion. Well done. A couple technical errors;
ReplyDelete- age for voting, not of
- olds - plural, not possessive
- comma before but
