Thinking back on my teen years (okay that was only a few years ago), I never had a "rights" problem. I was perhaps mature for my age, but I understood why certain things were the way they were. Whether it was for my safety or in order to keep the crazy teens in line
.
However, from my point of view now, I find that teens may be getting a little too many rights... They are allowed to act more unruly while adults are having more rights to deal with them taken away.
The first step that I think would benefit us all is to let the teens have the rights to do more, but give them adult consequences too. When I was 13-19, I already knew how to exploit my youth. And I saw those that did. I don't like government treating teens like retards not capable of thinking.

I saw this too... it really pissed me off. I myself never was in a group to be picked on, but I would definitely voice my opinion to any bullies outright... but I was visibly no pushover either...
