Unlike a ton of countries, our country has the privilege of
voting for our leader. For several years now only people that are 18 and over
were eligible to vote, now they are giving children like us to vote and see
what we had to say. However there is a reason why there was a restriction about
the age, it waw there because most kids would vote for a random candidate and
move on with their lives. I guarantee you that 2 out of 3 kids voted randomly
because they didn't know what they were doing at all. Checking off a random
name with not a care in the world. However I do think it was a intelligent
decision to not count the votes.
Another topic I would like to bring to your attention is: is
18 years of age old enough? Will most students be mature enough to vote like a
proper citizen? This is another good reason why they should prepare us young
and let us vote now while we are still youthful. You might think that you will
be like your parents sophisticated and intelligent when you are 18 however when
you think about it, 18 years old is only 4 years away from grade 8. Now, think
again, will you be mature enough?
Change, a word that a lot of people hate. This is why the
same party wins several times in a row and it's not randomized. People are
scared of what might happen and do not want to take risks. And I understand
why, they see that life is good and if they change that, something terrible
might happen; also they would have to live that way for 4 entire years. However
that never gives the opportunity for others to make a difference. Also sometimes when someone promises
something, a lot of the time they are lying and have different plans in mind.
This might be frightening and you might not want to go through this but you
might be surprised with what you find.
