16 year olds are still sheltered and taken care of by their guardians and parents. How could a teenager, ignorant to the troubles of life, be trusted with helping determine the future of our country. The hardest decision many 16 year olds face is what they would like to eat for lunch. Most have no opinion on medical insurance, plans for children, taxes, and other important issues. The lack of worldly experience would factor into a immature, irresponsible vote. Against those strong points, many people will argue 16 year olds should be able to cast their vote. It simply isn’t sensible to let someone with the lack of knowledge, maturity, and experience to vote. Another election will be held in four years regardless of the outcome of the election prior. 16 year olds are simply not fit to vote in our presidential election because they wouldn’t feel the full effect of their decision, many are not responsible enough, and they lack experience. The argument has been made and reevaluated many times over the past few decades, and the decision has stood many times to not lower the voting age. After maturing two years to the age of 18 the same young adults will be able vote, and very possibly dictate the history of this
