should children vote?

i think she means the right to vote in gov't elections

this topic is better suited 4 DM im moving it there

i DO NOT think children shud b given the choice to vote...children dunno enuff abt politics or wat is better or worse 4 thm...i mean these kids dun get 2 decide simple things in der life and tht is left 2 the parent thn y wud the future of a country lye in the hands of children?

if it is wh@ javz means then i say bout when u r 16 as when u r 16 n workin if they can tax u then u should have the rite in votin in wh@ u want the country 2 b like

What no way !! 😆 What will kids understand about politics . Even at 16 and 17 they are reading up ....forming opinions and are too easily biased by what mom and dad and teacher thinks.

18 remains a good age as always !!

yea i hafta agree with aparna di...16/17 year olds r jus as clueless as 6/7 yr olds but they fail 2 recognize it 😆

(i hope this is wht the person hu started the topic wanted us talking abt...i hope i didnt interpret wrong 😳 ..oh well unless this person says otherwise lets debate)

no they shouldn't. they don't know whats right and wrong, somebody may just tell them what to do so that means 1 person is voting more than 1 time which is unfair. children don't know any better so its better to wait until they're older

I tottaly agree. Considering this age doesn't have the right to vote, nothing is improving for us. Yeah.. some of the canidates sure 'promise' for improvements for us, but it never happens!!.. and why?.. becuz we cant vote so they give nothing to our needs.

should children be given the chance to vote in a governmental election?

we do, in school

I agree that children are too young to vote, because they are too young to understand some of the more serious aspects of politics.
but a while ago we had watched a documentary type movie in school and it was just outlining that kids don't go into too much detail and this actually is a good thing. It was actually based on if kids were to decide major decisions that effect our world it would be more peaceful, because kids don't judge each other as much. I don't really remember a lot about the movie but they had a lot of good points, and they made me think.

but yes I still think that you are still strongly influenced as a kid, by what people around you think. 18 is an appropriate age for voting.
