Voting post

If I had a 18 year old friend that had no interest in voting, I would not pressure my friend to vote. I would also respect my friend's own opinion, beliefs, or final decisons, but if I were to to try to convince my friend to vote I would start by explaining how it is a good thing to vote. I would tell my friend that maybe if he or she would vote, they would feel important because they get to make a decision towards the world. For example, when citizens of California vote, they are making a decision on whom gets to be president. And since they have a doing in making someone president, they are also making the decision of who gets to make important decisions in the world for better solutions. Then I would also say to my friend that he or she should vote because they could increase the percentage of the president they want to have. And if the president they actually voted for wins, they will feel good about it because they made a decision they wanted. I would even tell my friend that I will go with he or she to vote and that I would also look in to it more to know what we are doing. I would tell my friend not to feel pressure for voting the person he or she wants because since he or she is a citizen, they get to make thier own decisions and the one they desire to choose. I would be there for my friend in every step.
