Response To Justice's Post .

After reading Justice's entry on why teenagers should be allowed to vote. In my opinion I support both pros and cons, I think we should be allowed to vote, but I  also have reasons on why we shouldn't be allowed to vote. The following is what Justice said,

"Today I would like to talk about how teenagers are not allowed to vote. In my opinion I think teenagers should be allowed to vote because we are just as important this society like adults are. I understand we should not have all the rights as an adult, but I do not think voting is one of them. I would think teenagers should be allowed to vote because we are the future. So wouldn't it make sense for us to at least have some what of a say in our future." 
Why we should be allowed to vote : As Justice already mentioned, we should be allow to vote, since we have the rights to decide OUR future for OUR SELF. And we should have the rights to decide on what we want and what we do not want.  Some of teenagers are a lot more mature than adults, since we might think differently than them and we will come up with better new ideas.  Teenagers know more about political events more than the average adults might do. For example: We, teenagers could be watching T.V.and we are on the news channel or something, and the channel is showing political debates.  We might take interests in it so we will watch it and as a result, we learned something from it. Plus, we spend most of our time on the computer, internet, so we might come across to a page about political events, elections, and etc.

Why we shouldn't be allowed to vote : Even though, SOME of the teenagers are more mature, but the MAJORITY of them are not mature enough to understand politics to get the full grasp of what is really going on around them. In addition, MOST of us don't have a clue what we really want at this age, we might want this today and will change our minds the next day. Though some of us do.
 In conclusion, I think SOME of us are allow to vote, and SOME of us should just wait till we turn 18 years old. [:
