Basic rights for teenagers

Unfortunately, there is no outspoken activist for the teenager. The adolescent and young adult years are essential in shaping the mind and soul of every member of society, yet this group is largely neglected by society itself. ” “In fact, even the mainstream media itself hardly mentions the teenager. A vast majority of people, instead, are obsessed with learning of the conditions, grievances, and happiness and satisfaction levels of other age groups. These include little children, young and middle aged adults, and even the elderly. Many parents are clueless about handling teenagers. They turn to teachers, who in turn, turn to detention rooms. And when that doesn’t work, the police are called. There appears to be no standard with which to guide teenagers, or coach them into being responsible adults.
