Should teens be allowed to vote? Vinh said 
"the government need younger people to participate or else it wouldn’t be a democracy. The country system is run by democracy where young people as young as 18 were fighting for the civil war, this is one of the reasons why the 26th amendment were passed down. "
      How is that true? A democracy does not have to have young people. He needs to back that up with evidence even if that is true.  He also said people as young as 18 were fighting for the civil war, so people should be able to be allowed in democracy because of this. People back then fighting in the war were just ordinary people. They were farmers, kids, and regular people who wanted to fight. Vinh says that these is the kind of people that should be in democracy.
He also said  
What have teenagers done to the country that will give congress a reason to pass down a law that allow teenagers below the age of 18 to vote? None.
Well, Crime statistics show that approximately one-third of all victims of violent crime are teenagers, between the ages of 12 and 19.Almost half of all violent crimes are committed by perpetrators under 25 years old. This shows that teenagers are a major part of the crime world, and so teenagers should not be voting for our leader
    Even though I oppose teenage voting, Vinh said 
Teenagers are a bunch of young, spoil brats that doesn’t even pay for the tax.
First of all, teenagers do not have to pay taxes anyway. Second, teenagers are not spoiled brats. Just because teens create a lot of crimes, it does not mean they are spoiled brats. They have a purpose for causing crimes, most of them are just ignorant or are desperate.
      Ultimately, I totally agree with Vinh that teenagers should not be able to vote.I think this way,because teenagers might choose an unjust ruler that will help them not be guilty for a crime, MOST are not as well educated as MOST adults, and that we might not vote at all and just take it for granted.
