Would giving 16-year-olds the vote improve democracy or just change the way campaigns are run?

I think that it's very important that 16-year-olds start voting to express their ideas and start to be part of society.
The first example that support my opinion is that many young peaple are already work or pay the tax, and they should have a say in political, and political choices affect mostly young peaple, so it's very important that young guys have a possibility to vote.
The second exaple that supports my opinion is that if you explain politics to young guys and they are interested then a sense of civil responsability will grow.
Someone who disagrees might think that young guys get conditioned more easily by other peaple, and conditioning ideas could lead to choosing things that do not coincide with their own ideas, start to following politics and start to voting is a way to start having a responsability
Howeaver, i think they are wrong because the young guys are mature to preserve their ideas without being influenced.
