Not everyone agrees that lowering the voting age is a good idea. Eighty-one percent of adult U.S. citizens surveyed don't think it's a good idea for people this young to vote, while 16 percent favor this idea. The main concern of those who dislike the idea of lowering the voting age is that younger teens are not mature enough and will not vote responsibly, which is like not allowing a child to play the piano for fear of them making a mistake. How will they learn to be responsible voters if they do not have a chance to try?
