Re: 鈥淭eenage brains are not ready to vote,鈥� letter, Feb. 17.
As a 12-year-old leader of the Victoria Youth Climate Strike, I am surprised to learn that my prefrontal cortex isn鈥檛 developed enough to let me make rational decisions. Looking around, it doesn鈥檛 seem to me that most adults make very rational decisions, even if they do have developed cortexes.
My friends and I go on Climate Strike each month because the adults who vote don鈥檛 have enough sense to elect politicians who will save our generation鈥檚 future.
I think that many adults鈥� prefrontal cortexes are a bit too developed to make decisions that will work in the long run.
