Rejected petition Hold a second EU Referendum in which 16 & 17 year olds can vote

I believe that it is completely unfair that as a 17 year old I am unable to vote for my own future. Frankly, i don't understand why 16 & 17 year olds could vote in the Scottish Referendum but not in the EU Referendum. As the generation that will be most affected by this vote, we deserve our say.
