Rejected petition Give 16 and 17 year olds the vote, they need a say on their future!

16 and 17 year olds can't vote on matters that determine their future, this is unfair and they should be given the right to have their voice heard. This age group is ignored and deserves the right to fight for what they believe in and not have their desires determined by others.
