Jokes for the audience

For example, if you want to argue that teenagers are not mature enough to be in
parliament, you could use a statement that contradicts itself or goes against
common sense in a humorous way: “Teenagers are very mature and responsible. They
always do their homework, they never break the rules, they always listen to their
parents, they never lie or cheat. And if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell
you.”

For example, if you want to argue that teenagers are more influenced by their peers
than by adults, you could say: “Teenagers are like sheep. They follow the herd and
don’t think for themselves. They are easily swayed by peer pressure and social
media. They are not leaders, but bleaters.”

For example, if you want to argue that teenagers are not mature enough to be in
parliament, you could tell a story about a time when you or someone you know did
something silly or embarrassing as a teenager. For example, you could say: “When I
was 15 years old, I decided to dye my hair green for a school project. I thought it
would look cool and edgy, but it turned out to be a disaster. My hair turned into a
mess of different colours and textures, and I had to shave it off and wear a hat
for weeks. I learned the hard way that some decisions have irreversible
consequences. Do we really want people who make such bad choices to be in
parliament?”

For example, if you want to argue that teenagers are not representative of the
whole society, you could say: “Putting teenagers in parliament is like putting
toddlers in charge of a daycare. They may have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but
they don’t have the skills or the responsibility to look after themselves or
others.”

For example, if you want to argue that teenagers are not mature enough to be in
parliament, you could ask: “How do you get a teenager to do something? Tell them
they’re too young to do it.”

For example, if you argue that teenagers are more influenced by their peers than
adults, you could say: “According to a study, 75% of teenagers admit that they have
lied to their parents about something important. The other 25% are lying about
lying.”

For example, if you want to argue that teenagers are not representative of the
whole society, you could say: “Putting teenagers in parliament is like putting cats
in charge of a fish market. They may have a lot of curiosity and agility, but they
don’t have the skills or the responsibility to look after the customers or the
products.”

“Teenagers are people who think they know everything about the world but actually
know very little. They are like Wikipedia but with more errors and fewer
citations.”
