Just wanted you to consider that kids are subjects of their parents, which is one reason why they don't vote: Kids' parents vote on their behalf.
Personally I think the voting age should be the same as driving age: 16. If you give someone the privilege to operate a motor vehicle in public, they should be responsible enough to vote. They should teach more about politics in high school.
