Summary

A century ago in America, teens and children were considered the property of their parents, with no rights of their own. Today, young people are in a special position in our society: They are not independent, yet they do have rights. In You Have the Right to Know Your Rights: What Teens Should Know, Maurene J. Hinds outlines for readers the ways in which the rights of young people have evolved throughout history. She explores the rights of minors in school, in the health care system, on the job, and in the juvenile justice system. She discusses ways teens can safeguard their rights and what they can do if their rights are violated. Book jacket.
