15.As the 2016Presidential election(选举)is approaching,US high school students have become more interested in the election.They hope to have a voice in the process and,ultimately(最终),have a say in deciding the next US president.Cypress Bay High Junior Jacob Wilentz is one such student and he said the country needs change.Although Wilentz will only be 17this November,he said his opinion still counts.
"Even though I will not be old enough to vote in the next presidential election,my voice matters,as do the voices of every other individual in this country,"Wilentz said."Discussions I may have with my peers,debates with teachers and communication with my parents allow me to be heard and give my opinions meaning and insight(洞察力)."
Alain Jean,who was the 2008African American/Caribbean American vote director for Barack Obama in the state of Florida,said teenagers should be paying attention to the presidential election because many high school students will be of voting age by election time.She said candidates(候选人) have views and positions on certain topics that may affect teen's lives.
Cypress Bay High Junior Olivia Ohayon is concerned about issues that younger Americans face,such as the cost of college education.
Ohayon said,"I believe it is my responsibility to discuss,and try to persuade my parents and other adults to concern themselves with,the issues important to the younger generation when casting their vote for president."
Not only do teenagers think their voices are important,but some also think parents have to consider the views of their children when casting their vote.According to Lucy Rimalower,a licensed marriage and family therapist(治疗专家),parents must consider whether their vote represents their household and the teens living in it.
Jean said teenagers can also influence the elections in other ways by getting involved in campaigns.She suggests that teenagers who actually believe in one of the candidates find the local headquarters(总部) for a campaign and volunteer.Campaign volunteers stuff envelopes,wave signs and go into neighborhoods to drop off literature(宣传材料) and try to get the word out.
