Again this applies to most people throughout their lives, not just teens.

I am a completely different person to what I was when I was 16, and I think that is pretty similar with most people.

And IMO this is largely meaningless; I was more or less the same person at 21 as I was at 16 and I had been able to vote for 3 years. I am a completely different person now to who I was at 21... and I would say that's true for most 30+ year olds? Does that mean the voting age should be raised to 21+?
