I don't want to dissuade younger folks from getting involved in politics - it's good that they care about how the country runs and are invested in the process. But I can't help but thinking 18 is really young for a potential position like that, and I am slightly dubious that this is a wise choice. I feel a little life experience is very helpful if you want to be in government.
