Maybe kids cannot vote because they aren't smart enough. That's what a few people think, but that's not a valid reason, simply because many adults aren't smart enough to handle the responsibility of voting. Yet, they are allowed to vote. Is it really fair to let dumb adults vote and prevent the smart kids from voting? For every reason that someone tries to give for kids not being able to vote, there will always be a reason why kids should be able to vote to balance it out.
A self- conscious teen might assume that everyone is observing them. Adolescence might feel like they are the center of attention and they don’t want to be. Teens think about thinking: about what goes on in their minds and what goes on in other people’s minds. When a teen is self-conscious and feels like they are the center of attention that can be and uncomfortable feeling. Young children can be self conscious they can think, but they don’t think about thinking.
Also the fact that teens are so rough towards one another there brains aren’t thinking on what can happen if there physical towards people violently. Adults sometimes complain that were not adults yet, reasons why we can’t drive, buy alcohol, nor vote. In Paul Thompson’s article, “Startling Finds on Teenage Brian” published in The Sacramento Bee stated, “While research on brain-tissues loss can help us to understand teens better, it cannot be used to excuse their violent or homicidal behavior. But it can be used as evidence that teenagers are not yet adults, and the legal system shouldn’t treat them as such”. Jurors should think while there in court that treating teens as adults is something pretty much unfair, because why try teens as adults if there not even close to one.
Others may feel as if the current voting age is too young for people to start voting and that people should earn the right to vote in their twenties, once they’ve gained some life experiences and can think independently. At 18 the youth feel as if they what is good for them but the reality of it is that they do not. Because at 18, one is easily swayed in their decision making by friends or by parents and have not been given the right amount of time to mature their own opinions or are still undereducated on politics but just vote as it what everyone else is doing by extending the amount of time in which a person can vote may make them want to vote by the time they are in their twenties as they have been
While the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’ are relatable, they aren’t as close to a year eight student, due the age difference. It’s harder to understand how the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’ are feeling, as it is highly likely that none of the year eight students studying the topic ‘Contemporary Issues’ have been in the same circumstances as the characters of ‘Cinnamon Rain’. While students may not understand the circumstances of characters in ‘Cinnamon Rain’, it will be easier for them to understand the circumstances and setting Avalon is in. Avalon is cyber-bullied, and most year eight students will understand how effective cyber-bullying is at wearing down a person’s self-esteem. They will be able to understand that not everyone fits in and is ‘popular’ at school, and how some are bullied because of it.
If not checked these behaviors accelerate into anti-social behavior directed towards other children and the community. Currently there is no information available as to the exact reason why being without a father affects these young males. Yet, the very fact that the child is without a father-figure in the home does affect the child’s psychological behavior. The child’s emotional development can not help but be affected by this. They may have feelings of loss or guilt about the father not being in the home.
Another problem was that even though there are anti-discrimination policies, a slight differential treatment towards minorities is still present. Employers expect and demand more input from minority groups and that is why people are hesitant to leave their workplace to cast a vote (Rivers, 2012). An outside source looks at voting from a different perspective. An interestingly opposing statistic is that minority groups with higher education and social status take the time to participate, as voting is very important to them. They want to take part in the choice of their government because it took so long and so much effort for them to receive the equal rights and abilities to enjoy democracy (Speel, 2010).
At times, teens may be rejected and in order to feel accepted, they make bad decisions such as using drugs, drinking alcohol, cheating, and bullying. Trying so hard to fit in can lead someone to lower their self – esteem and feel like they’re being judged. The stress and difficulty of fitting in can cause them to hurt themselves to make the pain stop and can lead to cases of teen suicide. Teenagers such as those trying hard to fit in and who’s self – esteem are lowered need a place in Hawaii where they can be themselves and no one can judge them for who they

However, it is not true that every individual exercises the right to vote. Although all of individuals have the equal right to vote, their will for participation are not the same because each of them has different stances and interest for a vote depend on their age, races, partisanship, or some other factors of elections. Age group effects on a vote have become big issues many times; especially, young voters sometimes greatly influenced on votes. In general, young voters, in the 18 to 29 age group, tend to be not interested in voting because many of them just want to care about their own life rather than politics or society. Therefore, older voters are relatively more encouraged on a typical vote.
