Absolutely. Teens have responsibilities! They participate. And it’s true, at 18 i was much less responsible than I am now (or than i was at 16). I am sure it depends on the person, and lots of people of all ages make iffy choices. But yeah, school board and local issues directly pertain to teens’ interests and lives, I don’t see why they wouldn’t take it seriously and try to do good with it, especially since we already rely on people that age for labor and as you said driver safety.
