Rejected petition Give under 18s the vote in a society we live in, so we are represented

I am constantly told that I can't have a say in political decisions (by being denied the vote) just because I'm 'too young to understand'. I, along with many others I know, feel unrepresented in this society of which I am still a citizen. As a citizen, I deserve the same rights as others
