The voting age should be lowered? why?

This is a two way question.

Explanation:

Voting is a privilege given to adults once they are 18 or older because that is the legal age that you are no longer considered a minor. I do not think children should be able to vote because they are obviously to young to have such responsibility as choosing the best candidates for the job, I do however believe that children and adults should be given the education and knowledge of political stances and parties whenever possible, to provide a higher percentile of average people to vote and actually know what they are voting for. This question is and should be considered a strictly opinionated topic.
