Some people think that we as teenagers are not able to have an opinion. And that we know nothing about polotics.. i personally think that most of us do, and if we were given the opportunity to vote at a young age we would not waste it. Many of our parents are old fashion. The people who are about to come in office will affect our lives in the future.. I actually wish i had a say so right now.. What do you all think?

I think that some teens would make informed decisions on political issues, but for the most part, I think they'd vote for whoever was getting the most publicity at the moment or do random voting...

Most teens if they could vote probably make very poor choices. We're highly impressionable, you know.

we would actually know more about policts then a lot of adults because most of us have a social studies class and know whats going on all together i think that they should give teens a test to see if they know what there doing and also make sure they know y they r voting for who they're voting for and not just doing what there parents tell them to

Some of us, but not all of us, apparently.

1. if adults think we wouldn't know how to work the machines...they let us sample how in ky in 4th grade...
2. we are not retarded and some of us read and watch the news...we know a thing or two about politics

The entire population of teenagers should not be given the privilege of voting just becuase a few extra-mature ones in our number ask to vote.

No. If you want to, be my guest. I don't think that voting is such a good idea.

1) Very few people of any age know enough about politics to vote
2)They're vs. Their
3)This is already a thread

I don't think anyone but you knows anything about "polotics". Some people know about politics, though.

Your and idiot, they would just vote for what there liberal teachers tell them too.

HELL NO.. i think most teens don't know jack **** about politics, and listen to what everyone else says.. A good example is trends, they all play follow the leader. Teens voting = bad idea.

As I get older I realize most of the time my parents were right. They have tons more experience.
