Youth-only referendum on all decisions directly targeting those aged 11-18

What the petition asks

On all laws directly targeting young people aged 11-18, young people of those ages should be consulted via a youth-only referendum. For example the Social Media ban or lowering the voting age to 16. We believe this can be easily achieved by having votes in form times across secondary schools.
