hi brother david i have 3 quentions for you. I hope that you will see them :)
1) David, if the voting age is lowered, how can we make sure that schools teach us enough about all the different political parties so we can make a fair choice without being influenced by just one side??
2)Some people say 16-year-olds aren't 'ready' to vote, but we are allowed to work and pay taxes. Do you think it’s fair to follow laws we don't have a say in making yet???😵💫
3)As a young leader yourself, do you think lowering the voting age would make politicians actually listen to kids' concerns about things like education and the environment, or would they still focus only on adults???
Thank you. Waiting for your answer...
Hi Daid
Do you think it should be allowed for people under 18 to work the same as adult?Doesn't that deprive adults from work? Do you think this is fair or is it making younger generations growing prematurely with more burdens on the society especially if they are not mentally fully fledged?
Hello Mr david, I have about three questions for you.
1. If people actually lowered the age to 16 or 17, do you think it's going to make a change or improvement, or is it just going to stay the same and maybe even get worse?
2. Was it your personal idea to become the republican of your school, or was it some type of friend or teacher who told you that and you just agreed?
3. Was it easy for you as your school republican to rule the school a little bit and make it a little bit organized? (from the politics perspective)
Anyway, these are my only questions, and I'm looking forward for you to answer it sooner or later.
That said, bye-bye. 👋🏻
Hi David it so wonderful hear that u okay a role in political parties.

If I could meet David Shayan, I’d ask:
What strategies do you think are most effective for encouraging high school students to engage in party politics without feeling pressured?
How can political parties better listen to and incorporate young people’s ideas into their policies?
What role do you see social media playing in motivating youth to vote and participate in debates?
Are there examples of young people making a real impact in elections or party decisions that inspire you?
I’d love to hear David’s perspective on how young voices can move from being observers to active contributors in shaping political discussions.
Are young people ready to vote in the elections?
Is it important for young to be knowledgeable to vote in the elections?
Do you think that a 16 or 17-year-old have the ability to be a politician?
If you were a leader, what rules will you say in the elections?
