ReplyDeleteTeens today would hate to lower the voting age. Teens don't really have the experience to vote. firstly, we are still learning and make mistakes. Secondly it does not really affect us as teens.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Most teens would not participate in voting. Mostly cause we are lazy and think we have better things to do in our time. Secondly, We are busy with school and after school activities.
Hate to vote at 16
ReplyDeleteFirst of all teens or kids at the age of 16 probably wouldn't have experience to vote for the country's president. They wouldn't know the fundamentals or knowledge about politics and its issues. Especially it wouldn't effect most of them in there lives, because they still live with there parents and cant make alot of decisions. Secondly they wouldn't want to vote for a president. They would be to lazy and wouldn't care about the country future. And to busy with other distractions the world has to offer. Like playing Xbox, going to the movies, drugs, and more. At the end of the day teens in general shouldn't vote because of the lack of knowledge and the responsibility it comes with it.
why should teens sixteen years or older not be able to vote. One reason could be that they don't have enough experience in politics. One response to this argument could be that they make mistakes do we really want kids who make mistakes every day deciding who is the leader of our country. Another statement could be how would it affect the they don't pay bills they don't have response ability's being a child how would it effect them personally. And most teens wouldn't care enough to vote any how.
ReplyDeleteteens are lazy they like to sit around all day. plus teens are to busy to vote the have school ,friends family and other thing to do in there free time. so in conclusion you can see that there are many reasons not to let teen vote.
voting for 16 year olds would be a bad idea. Because of our inexperience. Teenagers make mistakes all the time so we could vote for the wrong person. Voting doesn't really affect us in anyway, cause we wouldn't care for it either way. Teenagers wouldn't vote anyway, cause its not on our mind. Teenagers are always busy; with school and friends. That and we are just to lazy to vote. So based on this information teenagers shouldn't be allowed to vote because we just don't care enough.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a bad idea to have 16 year old to vote. These are some reasons why. Most teenager are all inexperienced they make mistakes and they don't see the consequences of it. They could care less about whats going on around us. Another reason is that we just wouldn't vote, because like I said we have no interest in it. Plus we are to busy doing other stuff. And don't have time for it. Teens just shouldn't vote in general. so lets just leave it how it is.
ReplyDeleteTeens voting at 16 would have a big change.
ReplyDeleteMany teens are inexperience on what they are trying to do and what they say most of the time.
what if we vote for the wrong person and we end up messing the States up more then they already are? Then what will we do it would be one big mistake, something that most teens do when young.
I know that most teens wouldn't really vote because they wouldn't care about what's going on or who in office.
Teen's now a days have so much going on with school and other things that they are into or other just would rather sit at home playing video games.
There for this is why teen's shouldn't vote till they are 18 and have more knowledge about how would the world works.
Hate for 16 year olds to vote.
ReplyDeleteInexperience comes with mistakes, not knowing what to do. Us as teenagers are still learning and we shouldn't vote. It doesn't affect us in any way so we wouldn't or shouldn't do it. Were lazy and we don't care. We are usually busy and wouldn't have time to vote and get to into politics as every other adult. Teens shouldn't vote because we are still to young and inexperienced. It should be 18 years and up. I don't think waiting 2 years will affect anyone. Teens shouldn't vote at a young age.
It would be a bad thing if 16 year old's could because we are inexperienced, wouldn't do it, and we should just not be able to vote.
ReplyDeleteWe shouldn't vote because we are inexperienced and don't know a lot about politics and a lot about what is going around the world theses days. We would also make mistakes cause we are still learning about politics and we would probably just vote for obama cause he's black. It also doesn't affect us that much cause we don't pay taxes or bills or anything like that.
We shouldn't vote cause we wouldn't do it cause we are lazy and not have time cause we would all focus on friends and school and busy with sports and social activites.
Teens shouldn't vote because no teens some teens would do it and theres no point to vote at age sixteen
Why 16 year old wouldn't like because were inexperienced and wouldn't do it.
ReplyDelete16 year olds wouldn't know really anything about voting or politics only if your were really smart.We make mistakes and we haven't learn a lot about the government or politics. We are still learning so we wouldn't make the the right the choice at age 16. The other is the it wouldn't affect them because were only 16. We won't affect them in there economy and there money.
Were really lazy and busy and we don't really haven't time because we have school, work, and hobbies so we won really care about it so much.
Teens shouldn't vote because we are inexperience, busy, lazy so we wont really affect them buy voting
What does the article mean that we had a recent war that was based on "false claims of weapons of mass destruction"? i think that we have been to a war based on the accusations of weapons of mass destruction.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the US so concerned about what weapons other nations are using? cause it could wipe out a lot of us citizens?
