Discrimination against young people

- age-based restrictions including teen curfews, the voting age 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
- children are denied the right to leave their parents and are punished for running away from their parents
