Why don't Young People Vote?

This article Why don't young people vote? was about the reasons young people don't vote. Some examples this article  mentioned was that many young people don't believe that politics effect them, they believe government is inefficient, or they may be just lazy.

1. Since I was born as a millennial I am definitely categorized in this generation that doesn't vote. Because I'm not yet 18 I can't vote, therefore I can't be considered lazy along with everyone else, because I believe that when I am of age I will vote and try to be apart of this country.

I agree with most of the things she said, especially when the author talked about how some young people believe that politics don't directly affect them. I understand this, because it is hard to realize how politics affect each individual if one isn't in government or super informed. I disagree with the parts the author mentioned about this generation being lazy, because I believe that is a stereotype.
