Luhanopi: /* Terms that are culturally biased against the youth */self

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: /* Protectionism */

There are multiple viewpoints reagarding [[young people]].
== Parental-rightism ==

== Adultism ==
'''Adultism''' is the belief that adults are better than minors.
== Protectionism ==
'''Protectionism''' is the belief that minors need protection, even at the cost of their rights.

Protectionism is sometimes used as an excuse for [[#adultism|adultism]].

Luhanopi: /* Conduct */ small order fixz

The goal of this wiki is to share information about the Youth Rights movement and popularize it. This is to be done in a civil manner, and in accordance to all applicable laws. The server is hosted on an German provider with assistance of two American ones by a Polish person. Everything is shared on a free [[Project:copyright|license]] unless explicitly mentioned otherwise.

== Rules ==
No rule is set in stone. The spirit of the rules is always above the letter. Don't bend or try to work around the letter of the rules. If a rule harms working towards the goal ignore it. Except when the rule is problematic, then change it. Rules can be changed or interpreted by consensus.
== Conduct ==
Respect others. Do not engage in personal attacks. Be welcome to newcomers. Assume that others are acting in good faith unless there is a reason to think otherwise. Use common sense. However remember that common sense is not common. It is possible to disagree what is or isn't common sense. Using multiple accounts to pretend to be multiple people to affect discussions or hide disruptions if prohibited. Consider some newcomers could have lurked on the wiki (or wikis with similar policies, potentially under a different username) before joining. Do not disrupt this wiki to prove a point. Before doing anything, consider the consequences of your actions. Once you post something, it may stay in the history forever. If you are doing something that would take a lot to undo, make sure there is consensus to do it first. Do not share information about others that you reasonably believe they want to be kept private. Unless that is necessary for preventing serious misuse. Do not post content completely off-topic. This includes userspace. Bans can be used against a person acting in bad faith or to stop a disruption. Bans should be kept as short as reasonable. People are not to be prevented from reading the wiki, but from contributing to it. All bans are appealable.

== Consensus ==
Decisions should generally be made by consensus. Disagreements should be solved by discussion. Editors should show their point of view. Users who created or contributed to pages don't have the right to dictate their contents. However, their insight should be considered as they may have more information about the topic. The goal is to choose an outcome that satisfies the most editors, considering the weight of the arguments. If holding a discussion would be seriously problematic, the admin makes a decision. In an emergency or other similar circumstances an admin can overrule consensus and any rules. Consensus can change over time.
== Content==
This is not an encyclopedia. Content is to be written to be in line with youth rights. This means we don't necessarily aim to maintain a neutral point of view. What is mentioned as facts should be true. All claims about facts should ideally have sources. Exceptional claims about facts can be removed until a source is provided. Source synthesis is acceptable. Self-created sources (such as video recordings) are acceptable. However such sources are easier to be considered to biased, or manipulated, etc. Do not include contents with an incompatible license except for fair use. Attribute the work properly. Works of fiction and satire can be required to be marked as such if there is an extremely high risk of that content to be believed to be true and that would harm the goalcircumstances. Personal accounts of editors and essays are welcome, but personal accounts should generally be kept in userspace.

Luhanopi: /* Terms that are loaded by itself */adult

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.
:: See also: {{code|[[#kid|a kid]]}}

== Terms that are culturally biased against the youth ==
* {{anchor|kid}}{{code|a kid}}/{{code|kids}} - when used to imply somebody is immature.
:: It implies that kids are immature.
:: See also: {{code|[[#kidding|to be kidding]]}}
* {{anchor|juvenile}}{{code|juvenile}} - in relation to people
:: This word has negative connotations.
:: See also: {{code|[[#jd|juvenile delinquency]]}}
* {{anchor|jd}}{{code|juvenile delinquency}}?
:: See also: {{code|[[#juvenile|juvenile]]}}
* {{anchor|aa}}{{code|age appropriate}}/{{code|age-appropriate}}
:: This word is sometimes used as a [[dog whistles|dog whistle]] to deter certain youth behaviors. In other uses it suggests that the development of every young person is consistant with solar cycles.
:: Use instead: {{code|development appropriate}}/{{code|development-appropriate}}

== Terms that are loaded by itself ==
* {{anchor|friends}}{{code|friends}} - when used to mean {{code|peers}} when misused to communicate with young children.
:: This leads to making it hard for young children to distinguish between people they like to spend time with and people they spend time with.
* {{anchor|gusu}}{{code|grow up, shut up}}
:: It is a ''[[dog whistle]]''/''[[ad personam]]''. It adds nothing to the issue. It attacks the (perceived) immaturity of the opponent.
* {{anchor|adult}}{{code|adult}} - when used as an adjective.
:: It suggests that some issues are related only to adults in a way that's hard to discuss with.

The right to file a complaint

2026-05-10T12:28:34Z

Luhanopi: Luhanopi moved page The right to file a grievance to The right to file a complaint

Everyone deserves a right to file a compliant. If your legal rights are violated, you must be allowed to formally file a formal complaint. It should then be read and action should be taken to stop the violation (as long as the complaint isn't baseless, frivolous, or false). This is a [[positive right]] so knowingly interfering with it should be a crime. Everyone deserves that right. If inmates, people which were proven guilty of a crime deserve this right, why don't the minors. Why aren't minors guaranteed by law to be able to file a grievance about their parents?
== How is it argued against ==
* '''Kids don't know how to file one''' - then they won't file one. I believe at least one minor knows how to file one.
* '''Kids will file frivolous complaints''' - complaints that are obviously frivolous (needs to be defined) can be documented and left without a response.
* '''This law is useless''' - this happens with the most gross cases of abuse. Proving this would be sometimes easier than proving child abuse. [needs fixing]
* '''It strains the system''' - if you get a 100$ parking ticket, you can drag the case through the courts. If a minor is abused, why shouldn't they be allowed to do something about it. Also, don't you think inmates also abuse this right?

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 ==
* {{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.
* {{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.

== Terms that are culturally biased against the youth ==
* {{code|kid}}/{{code|kids}} - when used to imply somebody is immature
:: It implies that kids are immature.
:: See also: {{code|to be kidding}}
* {{code|juvenile}} - in relation to people
:: This word has negative connotations.
:: See also: juvenile delinquency
* {{code|juvenile delinquency}}?
:: See also: juvenile
* {{code|age appropriate}}/{{code|age-appropriate}}
:: This word is sometimes used as a [[dog whistles|dog whistle]] to deter certain youth behaviors. In other uses it suggests that the development of every young person is consistant with solar cycles.
:: Use instead {{code|development appropriate}}/{{code|development-appropriate}}

== Terms that are loaded by itself ==
* {{code|friends}} - when used to mean {{code|peers}} when misused to communicate with young children.
:: This leads to making it hard for young children to distinguish between people they like to spend time with and people they spend time with.
* {{code|grow up, shut up}} - it adds nothing to the issue. It attack (perceived) immaturity of the opponent. It's an example of ''ad personam''.
