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?
