What are teenage rights and what freedom do teens have?

I need a very brief result of about 200 words.Ialso need information on how I will be able to convince my parents to grant me freedom?What are teenage rights and what freedom do teens have?
As long as you live with your parents, the only freedoms you have are the ones they grant you.


If you want to convince your parents to give you more freedom, prove to them you are honest, trustworthy, responsible, hard working, and reliable. Prove by your ACTIONS.


If you lie to them, don't do what you're supposed to do (chores without being asked 10 times, etc..), goof off in school, be lazy, make poor decisions, are selfish, etc...they have no reason to give you more freedom.


The more mature you are, the more freedoms you will have.What are teenage rights and what freedom do teens have?
Technically, teens are children and don't have any 'rights' per se. Your rights as a teen consist of what your parents are required to provide for you by law, and the long list of things it is illegal to do to you - like kill you, for example.





You may be able to convince your parents to grant you freedom by behaving responsibly, however they will appreciate it if you keep in mind that they have responsibilities that outweigh your rights. For instance, you go break a neighbor's window. Your parents are financially responsible for the loss, and must pay for the window. In fact, if they own a home, their homeowners insurance can be made to pay for damage that you do, accidentally or intentionally.
You have all the rights anyone else does, you just have rules you have to follow.





Your not going to get freedom from your parents, but if you want space then...





Get a hobby outside of your house.


Get a job.


Volunteer somwhere.





Show them you are responsible and they might give you more space.





Good Luck
The only freedom you need is what clothes to wear to school what to eat for lunch.





If you don't pay your own bills and if you don't work (even if you do but live at home rent-free) then you don't have very much freedom due to being taken care of.





If on your taxes you mark ';dependent'; then you are stuck without a whole lot of freedom.
Keep your mouth shut and stay home and listen to your parents. They have your best interest in mind--always. One day when you have kids you will understand just how much you don't know right now. What you don't know can hurt you.
Right to grow under your parents watch until you become of age.





Get a job, become financially responsible, pay for your own car and insurance, avoid police problems
Until you are at least 16, you really don't have any rights. You can under court order get ';guardianship'; of yourself, but it is very rare and very hard to do. You would have to prove that your parents are unfit in raising you. Then you would have all the rights an 18 year old has, except you'd prolly have really angry parents and no help. Getting out on ur own is not all it's cracked up to be.





I did find the following very interesting and worth reading....














The Teenage Bill of Rights





We, a new generation of young Americans, in order to protect the heritage of our forefathers and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and generations to come, do affirm and pledge this declaration:





When character and morality are uncommon qualities,





When corporations and marketers seek to profit from our destruction,





When pop culture icons do not represent our values,





When Judeo-Christian beliefs are labeled as intolerant,





When activists seek to remove God from our schools,





When truth is deemed relative and unknowable,








It is necessary for us, the emerging generation of young Americans, to stand for what is right and reclaim the values that have made our nation great. We call our nation to a higher standard, a lifestyle based





not on convenience, but on character,





not on what is easy, but on what is excellent,





not on what feels good, but on what is good,





not on popularity, but on principle,





not on what is tempting, but on what is true.








We, as young Americans, assert our right to determine our future and the future of our great nation. We hold these truths as our God-given rights, and we embrace them with our hearts and our lives:





We recognize that God, our Creator, is the source of all truth.





We will live with honor, always striving to do the right thing, even when it is unpopular. We will be honest and truthful in matters large and small, regardless of the consequences.





We will take responsibility for our actions, and not point to governments, schools, celebrities, parents, or friends to justify our wrong decisions.





We recognize that we are responsible for our mistakes. We will pursue purity throughout our lives.





We will not be seduced by a fabricated idea of sex and love.





We will save our bodies and hearts for our future spouses, and once married we commit to pursue faithful and enduring relationships.





We will see through the lies of drugs and alcohol and refuse to let any chemical influence our thinking or destroy our lives.





We will respect the authorities placed in our lives, even though some may not live as honorably as they should.





We will honor our parents, teachers, and other leaders.





We will reach out with compassion to the hurting and less fortunate, both in our society and around the world.





We refuse to be absorbed with our own comforts and desires.





We recognize the value of each life, whether born or unborn, and we seek to protect those who are unable to protect themselves.





We will do our best to represent and communicate our Creator to our peers, leaders, and society as a whole.





We will work to see that every person has the opportunity to see and hear about the true nature of our God.








In signing, we commit to pursue a life that exemplifies these standards.





We refuse to sit idly by and witness the destruction of our generation.





With God's help, we envision a bright and prosperous future for the nation we love.
