Study, Ella’s Pink Lady and New Zealand
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
Well as I’m busy with study at the moment I shouldn’t really have a lot to tell you! I’m trying desperately to just be a boring student with a life that revolves around classes and homework, but life just doesn’t seem to work out like that. The school work is going well, nothing particularly exciting but a new challenge in a different kind of way. Read More

fan Akier. I am in Australia Vic Melbourne st Albans wish u can come and see me.
to give teengers of 16 / 17 years of age an optional right to vote. Whoever like you feel the social responsiblity to voice out their concerns, you should be able to vote if you choose to register. I believe in an informnation explosive world, young people
like you who have accesss to sufficient information could make informed judgment on social issues, as such are qualified to have a resposnible vote of their own. Yes, the more younger people get involved in caring about the future of our nation, the better
chance we will get it right for our next generation. Jessica, you have my 100% support.
We listen to the negative comments instead of listening and deciding for our selves before we make decisions. If we could only get more people like yourself with vision and get up and go then we would have an even better country..by Max
you know other 16 year olds out there, who you might consider completely incapable of knowing even remotely what they would be voting on and for. Your own vote would be completely lost among theirs! Even many adults have trouble thinking ahead, and overseeing
the consequences of their vote in the long run, let alone younger people like yourself. I don't know how it is in Australia, but around here there's a large group of people who tend to vote from their own wallets only, and on the very short term. However in
your case, apparently interested in politics, I would suggest a membership of the political party that you would want to vote for! You will be welcomed and heard, and within that party your influence may be a lot larger than it would be through a single vote
in an election. Not just because you are who you are, but also because political parties too, believe that youth (who are ready for that) should have a voice! You will be surprised how welcoming the "gray suits" are towards youth with serious political interests.
So... get involved, and you WILL have that voice! And it will be stronger than through one of millions of votes.
their views might be. Slim
