Luhanopi: /* Terms that are culturally biased against the youth */ mv, add parentalism

Unfortunately in the world full of [[parental-rightism]], [[adultism]] and [[protectoinism]] there is a lot of [[loaded language]]. We, as [[youth-righter]]s should try to avoid these terms, as they normalize these [[viewpoint]]s. Of course, if the term isn't loaded by itself, but by its cultural context, using it in positive light to reclaim it may be a good idea.

== Terms we don't need to avoid ==
* {{anchor|youth}}{{code|the youth}} or {{code|young person}}/{{code|people}}/{{code|persons}}
:: This term is neutral. While it is used in negative connotations, it is also used in positive ones.
* {{anchor|kidding}}{{code|to be kidding}}
:: This term's meaning got disconnected from its perceived etymology. Its use isn't either negative or positive of the youth.

Luhanopi: ref mistakes

We believe that everybody deserves certain rights no matter ''who'' they are or ''what'' they do. Why does this standard seem not to apply to young people? Why aren't these people's rights respected? Why do we, as a society, find it okay to treat young people as less-than-humans or yet-to-be-humans? We do we often justify treating them in a way no adult ought to be treated?

== Dignity == 
We believe everybody has an inherit worth and deserve to be valued and respected<ref name="wp-dignity">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignity</ref>. We believe young people should not be degraded, dehumanized, instrumentalized, objectified, or humiliated. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with us...

Why is it acceptable to humiliate a child over "bad" behavior? Or be indifferent to their mental health struggles "because" of their academic achievements? Or deny them services (I'm not even talking about "dangerous" ones)? Or treat them like they are "the cause of all crime"? Or treat them as cohorts and not individuals?
=== Violations ===
==== General ====
* We use cruel and unusual punishment against children. Or when punishing them we don't follow basic [[due process]]. Why is that normalized?
* Mental health issues of young people are not taken seriously. An adult who feels overwhelmed can often take a Friday off in one of the following weeks. If that isn't possible, they are usually not expected to do regular work on the weekends at all (and if they are they get other days off). And adults can usually expect to be told their work schedule for a few following weeks. It is also acceptable for them to try to pick up less tasks. When a student feels overwhelmed, however they cannot easily reduce their task load or try to get a day off.

==== At home ====

==== By government ====
==== At school ====
* We tie students' respect to grades and behavior (this includes behavior that doesn't directly disturb others). Why do we find this acceptable?
* We publicly humiliate students for small mistakes. Why is that justifiable?
* School hallways are often overcrowded and the break times are short. Why is it normalized?
==== By businesses ====
* Businesses often deny non-dangerous services to young people, because to them it appears they will disturb the business or others, sometimes even on false assumptions (in situations where presence of youths could benefit the business).

== Safety == 
We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe. To be more precise, we believe that a person has a right not to be placed in an unsafe situation and to leave one, to the extent possible.

Why do we find it acceptable not to take proper action against bullying in school? Or not to remove them from their home when their safety is at risk?

=== Violations ===

==== General ====
* When a minor reports an unsafe situation, they are often believed less than adults. Why is that?
* Why do we find it acceptable to control older kids for their safety. Do we consider collisions with road vehicles in the calculus?
==== At home ====
* When the parents are unsafe kids are often kept at the home by the state. The parents' right to have kids is considered more important that the kids' right, especially the right to safety. Why is that?
* When a minor runs from home, they are often brought back without a welfare investigation. It happens even if they claim abuse. Why is that acceptable?

Luhanopi: /* At home */ Peace

We believe that everybody deserves certain rights no matter ''who'' they are or ''what'' they do. Why does this standard seem not to apply to young people? Why aren't these people's rights respected? Why do we, as a society, find it okay to treat young people as less-than-humans or yet-to-be-humans? We do we often justify treating them in a way no adult ought to be treated?

== Dignity ==
We believe everybody has an inherit worth and deserve to be valued and respected<ref name="wp-dignity">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignity</ref>. We believe young people should not be degraded, dehumanized, instrumentalized, objectified, or humiliated. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with us...

Why is it acceptable to humiliate a child over "bad" behavior? Or be indifferent to their mental health struggles "because" of their academic achievements? Or deny them services (I'm not even talking about "dangerous" ones)? Or treat them like they are "the cause of all crime"? Or treat them as cohorts and not individuals?
=== Violations ===
==== General ====
* We use cruel and unusual punishment against children. Or when punishing them we don't follow basic [[due process]]. Why is that normalized?
* Mental health issues of young people are not taken seriously. An adult who feels overwhelmed can often take a Friday off in one of the following weeks. If that isn't possible, they are usually not expected to do regular work on the weekends at all (and if they are they get other days off). And adults can usually expect to be told their work schedule for a few following weeks. It is also acceptable for them to try to pick up less tasks. When a student feels overwhelmed, however they cannot easily reduce their task load or try to get a day off.

==== At school ====
* We tie students' respect to grades and behavior (this includes behavior that doesn't directly disturb others). Why do we find this acceptable?
* We publicly humiliate students for small mistakes. Why is that justifiable?

==== By businesses ====
* Businesses often deny non-dangerous services to young people, because to them it appears they will disturb the business or others, sometimes even on false assumptions (in situations where presence of youths could benefit the business).

== Safety ==
We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe. To be more precise, we believe that a person has a right not to be placed in an unsafe situation and to leave one, to the extent possible.

Why do we find it acceptable not to take proper action against bullying in school? Or not to remove them from their home when their safety is at risk?

Luhanopi: placeholder, editing

This is a wiki on [[Wikipedia:youth rights|youth rights <sup>[Wikipedia link]</sup>]].

The wiki is in its early stages, contributions are '''''welcome'''''. You do ''not'' need an account to contribute and your IP address will ''not'' be publicly exposed if you do so.

== Motivation ==
Some intrinsic rights of young people are not respected. People don't seem to understand the implications.

We believe that young people deserve: '''''[[The issues]]'''''<sup>[placeholder]</sup>.

== Discrimination against young people ==

* [[coercive control]] including invasion of privacy, tracking, and denial of basic liberties
* [[age-based restrictions]] including [[teen curfews]] and bans on buying certain items
* [[social media bans]] and other forms of government interference with young people's personal development, well-being and access to information and support
* [[authoritarian schooling systems]] including [[school corporal punishment in the 21st century]] and [[school corporal punishment prior to the 21st century]], as well as the [[school to prison pipeline]]
* [[authoritarian parenting]] including [[parental corporal punishment in the 21st century]] and [[parental corporal punishment prior to the 21st century]]
* [[interference in young people's bodily autonomy]] including genital mutilation and withholding of basic medical and healthcare treatment

Luhanopi: /* General */ photo ==> then publish (kudos to ashdredge@Discord for help with that bullet)

We believe that everybody deserves certain rights no matter ''who'' they are or ''what'' they do. Why does this standard seem not to apply to young people? Why aren't these people's rights respected? Why do we, as a society, find it okay to treat young people as less-than-humans or yet-to-be-humans? We do we often justify treating them in a way no adult ought to be treated?

== Dignity ==
We believe everybody has an inherit worth and deserve to be valued and respected<ref name="wp-dignity">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignity</ref>. We believe young people should not be degraded, dehumanized, instrumentalized, objectified, or humiliated. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with us...

Why is it acceptable to humiliate a child over "bad" behavior? Or be indifferent to their mental health struggles "because" of their academic achievements? Or deny them services (I'm not even talking about "dangerous" ones)? Or treat them like they are "the cause of all crime"? Or treat them as cohorts and not individuals?
=== Violations ===
==== General ====
* Claims made by young people are believed less than these made my adults because young people are "manipulative" (even though adults are likely to be more manipulative{{cn}}). When an adult makes a claim, a good-faith attempt at verifying it is often made. When a minor makes such a claim, such attempt isn't made. Why is that?
* We use cruel and unusual punishment against children. Or when punishing them we don't follow basic [[due process]]. Why is that normalized?
* Mental health issues of young people are not taken seriously. An adult who feels overwhelmed can often take a Friday off in one of the following weeks. If that isn't possible, they are usually not expected to do regular work on the weekends at all (and if they are they get other days off). And adults can usually expect to be told their work schedule for a few following weeks. It is also acceptable for them to try to pick up less tasks. When a student feels overwhelmed, however they cannot easily reduce their task load or try to get a day off.

==== At home ====
* We expect children to act with unnecessary urgency for no apparent reason. Why is that acceptable?
==== By government ====
==== At school ====
* We tie students' respect to grades and behavior (this includes behavior that doesn't directly disturb others). Why do we find this acceptable?
* We publicly humiliate students for small mistakes. Why is that justifiable?
* School hallways are often overcrowded and the break times are short. Why is it normalized?
==== By businesses ====
* Businesses often deny non-dangerous services to young people, because to them it appears they will disturb the business or others, sometimes even on false assumptions (in situations where presence of youths could benefit the business).

== Safety ==
We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe. To be more precise, we believe that a person has a right not to be placed in an unsafe situation and to leave one, to the extent possible.

Why do we find it acceptable not to take proper action against bullying in school? Or not to remove them from their home when their safety is at risk?

=== Violations ===

==== General ====
* When a minor reports an unsafe situation, they are often believed less than adults. Why is that?
* Why do we find it acceptable to control older kids for their safety. Do we consider collisions with road vehicles in the calculus?
==== At home ====
* When the parents are unsafe kids are often kept at the home by the state. The parents' right to have kids is considered more important that the kids' right, especially the right to safety. Why is that?
* When a minor runs from home, they are often brought back without a welfare investigation. It happens even if they claim abuse. Why is that acceptable?

Why do we, as a society, find it okay to treat young people as less-than-humans or yet-to-be-humans? We do we often justify treating them in a way no adult ought to be treated?

We believe everybody has an inherit worth and deserve to be valued and respected<ref name="wp-dignity">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignity</ref>. We believe young people should not be degraded, dehumanized, instrumentalized, objectified, or humiliated. Unfortunately not everyone agrees with us...

Why is it acceptable to humiliate a child over "bad" behavior? Or be indifferent to their mental health struggles "because" of their academic achievements? Or deny them services (I'm not even talking about "dangerous" ones)? Or treat them like they are "the cause of all crime"? Or treat them as cohorts and not individuals?

* Mental health issues of young people are not taken seriously. An adult who feels overwhelmed can often take a Friday off in one of the following weeks. If that isn't possible, they are usually not expected to do regular work on the weekends at all (and if they are they get other days off).

* and [[The issues#enjoyment of rights|other issues]].

== Discrimination against young people ==

* [[coercive control]] including invasion of privacy, tracking, and denial of basic liberties
* [[age-based restrictions]] including [[teen curfews]] and bans on buying certain items
* [[social media bans]] and other forms of government interference with young people's personal development, well-being and access to information and support
* [[authoritarian schooling systems]] including [[school corporal punishment in the 21st century]] and [[school corporal punishment prior to the 21st century]], as well as the [[school to prison pipeline]]
* [[authoritarian parenting]] including [[parental corporal punishment in the 21st century]] and [[parental corporal punishment prior to the 21st century]]
