Voting at 16

The youth is the future

Voting at only 16 years old, sounds weird right but is not it exactly the right thing to do. There would might be a lot of things gone different like maybe trump would not be President or would there even be a Brexit. In this article I am going to tell you all why the voting age should be lowered to 16 years old. At age of 16, people should have a voice as well. They actually can already think fully on their own, have their own opinion and are citizen who should be included in their country.

Knowledge                                                                                                                             16 years olds actually are actually just as knowledgeable in Politics and civics as adults and therefore also good voters. That statement was confirmed by the American Academy of political and social science, they tested 16 years olds and adults on their political knowledge and surprisingly the scores were similar which means that 16 years olds are ready to vote. If people are still skeptical about the knowledge of 16 years then maybe they should all follow a curses before voting or the schools should pay more attention to Politics. 

Unfair

Is not it weird that the youth cannot decide for their own future but actually the older people. The youth have to live way longer with the adults decisions which is ridiculous that they have absolutely no say in their own country.  

The youth participate almost fully in the society because they sometimes pay tax, drive cars and travel internationally  so they actually should have the same right as the adults.

Conclusion

The youth should have their own voice in their country because it influences their future, are as Knowledgeable as adults and they should not be left out in our society.
