How can a teenager enjoy his rights?

Almost all young men and women of adolescence dream to become adults as soon as possible in order to gain all the rights that their parents have. This desire is due to the fact that children often feel themselves as disenfranchised beings, because they believe that they are in servitude and are forced to always obey the will of mother and father, teachers and other adults.

In fact, in every legal state, including Russia and Ukraine, boys and girls in adolescence have a number of serious and serious rights that make them full members of society. Meanwhile, not every child is well aware of his legal status and therefore does not understand how it can be implemented.

In this article, we will tell you how a teenager can enjoy his rights to feel himself a full-fledged citizen of his state, and not a powerless cell of a society living exclusively on someone else's pointer.

What rights does a teenager have?

The list of basic rights of adolescents is the same in all legal states. These include the right to life, protection, development, as well as active participation in the life of civil society. Since most of the life of an adolescent child takes place at school, it is in this educational institution that he should realize most of his rights. In particular, the teenager can use his rights in such ways as:

• to receive necessary art and educational literature in the library;
• independently choose an educational program;
• at own will transferred to another school or technical school;
• express their opinion and beliefs in any available ways;
• to create public organizations at school.

In his family, a young man or adolescent girl also has the full right to participate in discussions, expressing one's own position and respecting one's beliefs. In reality, in practice this is not always the case, and some parents raise their children, believing that their offspring should absolutely obey their wishes in every way.

In such families, a child whose position does not coincide with the opinion of the older generation is often confronted with ignoring his beliefs, coercion to perform an action, or even violence. However, today with elements of violence towards adolescents can be found in the walls of the school.

Such actions of adult people are absolutely unacceptable in any legal state, because they infringe on a huge number of rights of a minor child. That's why every teenager needs to know how he can protect his rights. In all cases where a child believes that his rights have been violated, he has the right to apply to specialized organizations - the police, the prosecutor's office, the commission for the affairs of minors, the guardianship and trusteeship authorities, the commissioner for the rights of the child and so on.

In addition, in the after-school period, groups of adolescents have the right to conduct specialized meetings and rallies with the nomination of requirements that do not contradict the current legislation.
