Rebuttal to Fermin

Fermin talked about the question. "Should teens be allowed to vote," in his debate post. Fermin believes that teens should be allowed to vote at the age of 16, because he thinks that they are mature enough. He also states that teens should be allowed to vote, because there are many who he believes will play a big role in the society. Fermin make, some pretty good points in his debate post but what I think it's missing is concrete detail.
First off teens do not limit themselves to the age 16, teens turn into teens at the age of 13. What about the teens age 13, 14 , and 15? Should they be allowed to vote? I suggest you about these ages and what you think about them before stating that 16 year olds should be allowed to vote. The voting age has already been reduced once after passing the federal constitutional amendment to the age 18. Making it any lower,I think, is unnecessary,
Also there are alot of students who don't succeed in life and many of them are in high school. To lower the voting age to 16 would allow a bunch people who don't even know the basics of politics (like me) vote, which would destroy the community. Besides most of the power does not reside in the president, but in the Legislative house. They are the ones who decide if a law is passed, etc. Lowering the voting age is like lowering the driving to 14, which i would love, but would probably cause tons of more car accidents then usual.
Do that many high schoolers even read the news?
When one reaches the age 18, they are legally an adult, and they can do w.e they want to do with their life. The age to reach adulthood is a great age to be able to vote, because
1) they are an adult now
2) most of them graduated high school
3) the age where people start making decisions if not sooner
4) hopefully the brain is developed
5) body mature?
The age 18 is perfect for voting, and the age 16 is not. The voting age should not go down, because it is unnecessary, and the outcome of doing so would be destructive.
The 2 years aren't that long, just wait and boom after 2 short years of schoolwork and hanging out friends, you'll be at voting age.

Whew that was hard debating back to something I think should happen. I'll help you out, I found some good quotes and points you could choose from here while looking for my own points. http://www.slate.com/id/1006439/.
