Your rights
Everyone has rights and, on the whole, the rights an adult has apply to a young person.
Some rights are restricted by age, so if you are under a certain age, you won't be able to do things that adults can do. For example you may not be able to drive, buy alcohol, vote, have a credit card or take a loan.
The kinds of issues that you may have to deal with regarding your basic human rights include:
- Proving your age
- Discrimination
- Choosing your religion
- Law breaking and being punished
