I think the voting age of 21 years old is good, because 21 years old is adult and the brain is become mature. Teens brains are growing and people can easly to change their mind. Teen doesn't have a good judgment, thay just do what ever they want, but the adult is different. Adult's brains are better than teens because they live longer than teens, they have a good judgment.

I think the perfect voting age is after 17 years old. At this period of the teenager, their brain are growing. Their brain grow and run very fast, even they are smarter than adults' brain. Their brain can connect many things at the same time, and consider other things. But sometime they still have badness, they can not control themselves. They are different from adult. The adult is opposite to them. Their brain start to grow back to before as children. So I think the best age is 17 years old.

To the end I think that the teenager are not availed to vote because they do not think good because their brain not finish grow because their brain only use one part of the brain so they not really ready to vote. Vote is a strong responsibility is not good that the government give to the teenager s right to vote. I think that the teenagers should vote when they will be 21 because maybe they are using the both part of the brain in that age and can make good decision when they are going to vote.

I think the perfect voting age is 19years old. In 19years old, teen brains are tried to use both two parts of brains. In 18years old, they begin can make the good judgment about people, that mean they can make the judgment to the voter. Their brains are become mature in 18years old. Also, in 19years old, the age is between teenage and adult, they study about politic so they know about politics, they can think about the voter who is good for them.

I think teenagers are mature enough to vote. Because teenagers work during the school year and the taxes are taken from these teens’ paychecks. But why these cannot vote. Youths become physically mature at an earlier age. I think today’s youths are smarter than previous generations and they know more current government and politics than adults. There is a law that a sixth-grade education is sufficient for voting. Now, almost all teenager‘s education is higher than sixth-grade. . The brain’s gray matter has a final period of growth around the ages of 11 to 13. I think all teenagers can vote if they are mature enough and they want to vote. I cannot make sure which age is the perfect voting age. Because some people are more than 20 years old but their brain still is 10 years old or even less 10 years old. However, some children know a lot of things because they are smart.

Teenagers have the responsibility of the right to vote. They have the best perspective to determine what changes is need. Today`s youths are smarter that they have abilities to think, analyze and solve problems. They know more about history, government, law and economics than adults. I think 18 years old is the perfect voting age, because in this age people`s brain becoming mature, and is a process between teens and adult.

I think the voting of 21 years old is find,because when some at the age of 21 their brains are grown up they are more mature,the teen brain are easy to cange their mind,teens dont have a well judgement.

I think the voting age of 18 years is good because the people are mature in that age and they will give right decision. Adults can give us good decision because they have their life experience. Teens are different from adults because they only use their one part of brain but adults use their both brain part that's why adults get right decision than teen agers. Sometimes teens ager also get good decision because new technology sharpen their like television, internet and video games. But there is one reason is that if the government treated teens like adults so the government will have to give them right like adults.

However teens brain and adult brains are totally different, teens doing thing without thinking about the result what they do, but adults more careful about what they do because they have more experience about the life. So from this fact we can see that teens are not ready to vote at all, because teens just able to use one part of the brain so they can not realize that how much is important to vote. There are big different between teens and adult. So we (adult) should be careful about teens. Most of us has little sister or brother. We should not talk to them without thinking or making them as adult as we are. There are still child and their brain is still growing and they also need more attention. They are more nervous then we do. They can get angry more fast and hurt them self with out thinking about it. So take care of teens whose around you because one day you had been a teen a like them.

I think teenagers are mature enough to vote. First, a lot of teenagers work before graduation, taxes is taken from their paychecks; they will want to know that tax money is spent. Second, today’s teenagers are smarter than previous generations, they are already treated like adults and teenagers know as much as or more than adults about government and politics, they want the right to vote. I think the perfect voting age is 18, voting is important for a country. 18-year-olds have mature brain, new brain cells start working, and it is good for voting. They have responsibility for voting. 18-year-olds can think something in different ways.

Today, youths become physically mature at an earlier age, their brain grows up earlier, and some of them acts are like adult people. Many teens have job, they pay taxes to the government and young people are learning more about politics than adults. I think the perfect voting age is 18 because 18 years old people in most of countries are adult in law, their mind grows more mature, they know what responsibility is, they know how to take responsibility and they know what should do and what should not do.

Teens should get rights to vote cause of teens can work before graduation and take the tax. They become physically and get lots of knowledge in school. But that means teens are qualified to vote. There are many difference between teen brains and adult brains. Brain is the most important part in human body. People use their brains before they do everything. Teens can not make evaluations as well as adults. When adults think about something they use both the advanced front part and more primitive amygdala to process. Teens only used the amygdala and adults have more experience and they learned more than teens, so adults brain used longer than teens brain, that could help adults make correct and mature judgement.
I think the perfect voting age is 21. Because 21-year-olds are mature enough. When you grow to 21, the people live in your country will say you are adult. When you grow to 21, you can drink, smoke and do everything that adults do. So I think 21 is the best age to vote.

Voting is still a big argument topic in society. In this time, teenagers become mature earlier than before, of course they think they should have right to vote. But someone thinks teen agers’ mature just for physical, not for their mind. I think 20 years old is the perfect age of voting. In my opinion, the age under the 20, teenagers are in puberty. At that time, teenagers’ parts of brain related to emotions,” thinking ahead” is their most characteristic. Most of time, teenagers’ behavior depend on their mood, interest. So, teenagers are hard to have good judgment generally. What’s more, teenagers have a kind of special hormones; it made their feeling different from adults. That’s why teenagers always obey others. So, I think the voting age should at least in 20 years old.

I think teenagers cannot vote, because voting is very important and serious thing for every country. Also teenagers cannot take this responsibility. Because of teenagers brain is very different from adults, they brain still growing and they cannot use their whole brains cells to thing one question. And they use less parts of the brain related to emotions, judgment, and ‘thinking ahead’ is not fully operating than adults, then means they sometime think questions cannot for contain and correct. Therefore, they cannot take a vote.
I think 18-year-olds is the perfect voting age, because when people in 18-year-olds, then they brain cells will stop to grow that means they become an adult. They will not like a teen. Also, allow at least 18-year-olds people can voting, then can collect more people’s idea for one questions, then the answer will more contain. The vote for government is stand for people’s behalf, therefore more people’s idea is better.

As we know that everybody has the right to vote. In my opinion, I think that over 21 year-olds teens can vote, because after this period, teens could act like adults and their brains is as mature as adults. The first hand, it depends on government states that 80 percent of 16 to 17 year-olds works before graduation. They have few years to participate in society. They will have social experience as well as adults. The second hand, people who after 21 year-olds, their brains of development almost complete, the brains cells can work right away, they establish millions of connections. Meanwhile, they could use both the advanced front part and the more primitive amygdala to process what they had see. Not only depends on their amygdala. To sum up, teens who over 21 year-olds have rights to vote.

I think that teens cannot have the right to vote, because their brains are still growing. Part of the brain that connect to judgment, thinking are not operating. They cannot control their emotion and behavior well. They always do things that they like and think little of others. They cannot be responsible to the voting. I think that 25 years old is the suitable age for the voting. 25- year- olds become mature physically and have mature brain. They can control their emotion and behavior well. They can think things base on reality and not only do things that they like. Also, they have work experience for years. They know what they need and what the country need. They think things carefully and can make true choice that benefit for people. They are responsible and have enough knowledge of politics. I think they can be the good voters.

I think the perfect age for voting is 21. As we know, teenager who are in their high school period have gone to work. In some state, they also can drive . They were treated as a adult. Even the teenager in nowsday became more smarter than the past, but they can not make a perfect voting as adult does. Because they don’t have a mature brain as adult. Their brains are still growiing. Because of this , they couldn’t make perfect judgment as adult does. They are no mature enough to decide important things. Until they are 21 years old, their brains change into mature and they can vote for a perfect choose.

In conclusion about those two selections, my opinion about this topic is that teens shouldn’t get rights to vote. Their average of informations about those kinds of topics is deeper than an adults', however they are teenagers and they are still growing up. Those students may are physically ready to vote, however they are too young to make those kinds of decisions. Voting, there is a huge responsibility, so I disagree that government should let them to do it. Therefore, I think they are not mature enough to vote. Also, I think that age of 22 year-olds is good to take this responsibility and let people vote, because their brains are enough mature of experiments and they do not change their mind that easily as teens.

Days are coming the world is starting to change in a new way where adults and teenagers eyes are opening together in the same time. The youths are entering in the real life earlier than the youths in the past time. Some of them are working and receiving pay checks that the government is taking taxes on it. A lot of teenagers have some knowledge on politics because they are studying in school so that will help them to know how to analyze good leaders and the past and now. The youths are the people who will take the control the control in the future so they have the right to think about their future placement because the future will be on their hands. For these reasons I strongly believe that teenagers of 16 year old still going to school have the right to vote because they have the capacity to vote for their future life.

Teens have enough right to vote. Teen get more knowledge about politics than adults. I think 18 years old is the perfect voting ages. Because I think 18 years old people have mature minds and brains. They are smarter than adults. They are not like the younger people do not have a right way to thinking and decide. Reached the 18 year- old people, they have enough politics knowledge to help them to vote a leader who can give them a good future. They can control their behavior and think more carefully.

I think teenagers cannot vote, because voting is very important and serious thing for every country. Also teenagers cannot take this responsibility. Because of teenagers brain is very different from adults, they brain still growing and they cannot use their whole brains cells to thing one question. And they use less parts of the brain related to emotions, judgment, and ‘thinking ahead’ is not fully operating than adults, then means they sometime think questions cannot for certain and correct. Therefore, they cannot take a vote.
I think 18-year-olds is the perfect voting age, because when people in 18-year-olds, then they brain cells will stop to grow that means they become an adult. They will not like a teen. Also, allow at least 18-year-olds people can voting, then can collect more people’s idea for one questions, then the answer will more certain. The vote for government is standing for people’s behalf; therefore more people’s idea is better.

In teens, parts of the brain related to emotion, judgment, and "thinking ahead" are not fullt operating. Also, that teens and adults have different emoton, Deborah Yugelun-Todd of Harvard Medical School and McChen hospital noted that adults have correct emotion, but the teens seldom did. Although, right now, that youths are smarter than previous generation and they have political knowledge, but they don't have enough experience, most of time, teens study in the school, they don't have enough experience about society! And I think voting need more experience because it is a serious issue, people need to think more, not just think about themself or their own benifit. Teens may only think about themself not carring all the society!
I think 22 years old is the prefect voting age because most of people on this age is become mature, however they have experience about society and their minds aren't like teens's minds which is only think about the sigle side and impulsion to voting, also they aren't like old people who is too mature, it means their minds are conservative. 22 years old is like in the middle, they are not puerile and conservative. Therefore, 22 years old is prefact voting age.

To vote for somthing is very immportant and big deal.In this 21century almost all of the teens get matured and but some are not.I think its realy related with invornment and family were he or she lives,healthy family,healthy community,healthy society then automatically healthy invorment comes out.A child get good enough parents love ,care with good invoronment then i think he or she can vote for the country,because i think our mind very much related to the invironment.So if u had that kind of invironment and parents love then there is no need to make low for the voting and dont have to talk about right of votings.Feel like one big family.
