Top 10 Reasons Kids Under the Age of 18 Shouldn't Be Allowed to Vote In Government Elections

You are so right

But childish adult can be replace adulltish kids

I disagree because only have of the country votes anyway. So what you are saying to me is a lie.

*Half* of the country is still well over 150 million people, you know that right? - yaygiants16

Kids shod vote

They could vote what their parents pick

Just imagine a very popular celebrity or music artist running for president. The last thing the us needs is a another celebrity president.

I don't know why you think that!

Yes, this is very correct.

I wanted to vote for the guy that looked the best.

Don't let the kids VOTE!

We need to vote

Yes kids are stupid and should be protected cause we know how 3 year old act like 18 and know they will just choose the prettier comment

i agree

Voting isn't just writing on a piece of paper, it's the decision that you make and WHAT you write down. Judging from what you just said, YES, it's probably too hard for you and I hope for the good of democracy that you never vote.

Some adults can’t even handle the responsibility, so why would kids be allowed to vote? - 3DG20

I dunno, maybe if all the long term effects of this election were going to be your future, like you know global warming, immigration, international relations, and many more issues... those kinds of things, then you just might have that on your list of high priority. And you know what really sucks, knowing that your future is in someone else's hands and you can barely do a thing about it. Especially this year. Let me tell you as a freshman in high school that almost every "kid" I know wishes they could do something. I have a friend going out and getting "adults" to vote even if she can't, I have a lot of friends who are scared and some who can't sleep because it's their future, I have a friend who has given speeches and afterwords people told her that they'd vote for her, a "kid", for president, I have friends who have been in political protests like black lives matter or LGBTQ+. I'm thinking if people outside our country have this election on their high priority list, the the kids in ...more

That's true and agree with that opinion

You right

I'm twelve and here's my lack of maturity; Donald trump should go back to the construction site to give them his brain full of bricks back. - AnonymousChick

Then you don't really understand politics. Trump is better than all liberals. - LordDovahkiin

I agree with AnonymousChick. I'm 11; I have no maturity whatsoever.

Chris I swear if you don't stop commenting on Donald Trump roasts I'm gonna tie you to a tree!

Based on how long you can stay up doesn't matter. I'm 14 and I think that us kids can't make those decisions either - BecauseWhyNot

I can stay up to 9

I think kids should vote because then there are more votes

true

Trust me, as much as I loved to vote when I was 10, I am afraid that other people of my age back then would easily be brainwashed by other people, especially schools.

Never use wikipedia or yahoo answers to vote kids! - Skullkid755

Like memes and jokes - Batmaniscole

I think they are saying that Trump is a bad president and that people who voted fo rhim are like kids. Just what I think - BecauseWhyNot

Then explain Trump.

Whats this have to do with trump

That's just desgusting

true

This is the only one that is true.

Yes I totally agree

This is pretty true

Parents can force kids.

Obviously, some patmrents can even abuse their child for that

True

Kids should know about politics, particularly because the government isn't doing very well. Three shutdowns in one year is insane, and Trump should be sent back to business. Children should vote because they will vote for someone they like and go against people they hate. But there's a major drawback-kids (based on student elections) are tempted towards rewards. Student candidates just want a longer recess (no possiblity, every district has a minimum of required instructional minutes), and that's what everyone wants. So kids would vote for the one who's gonna make America great again. Second, they would probably vote for their parents. For example, democrats would vote for democrat parents, and the same thing for republicans. If kids could vote, we could send Trump back to business in 2020 and have a long-overdue government reform, including the termination of the Second Amendment (based on Parkland).

One question, what does this have to do with trump?

True only because kids are still learning in school and have not finished learning about polotics

I understand politics quite well, thank you. - LordDovahkiin

REDNECKS! REDNECKS!

Has anybody seen vice's new documentary called 'raised without gender'?

True

Some will. But if you're me or my friends, you read up on your choice, and listen to presidential speeches. - LordDovahkiin

"Deceived? " The right is right. It's why it's called the Right Wing - LordDovahkiin

I'm 13 doing a school project

That's impossible anyway. Kids still go to school, despite it being useless. - LordDovahkiin

Kids will do what their parents say because they don't know what to do

tru dat

I’m 10 and I would go the way I want to go

Children or young adults may not know what reasons are good and what reasons are bad in an election. For example:Someone might say "I'm getting rid of this park to make more houses." A child may think that is good but in ways for the environment it is bad.
(I am 11 by the way)

True. We don't need another celebrity president.

Yes we do

Yes that's true.

They mite

Lol, we have a project and we need to do five subjects that are listed for it and this is my first one, why kids shouldn't be allowed to vote.

no thanks
