First of all how old are you? In my experience when a teenager is asking about their rights it's because they want to be able to make the decisions that control their life without paying attention to the corresponding duties, obligations and responsibilities that go along with having the right to make decisions as if they were an adult. Rights are only half of the equation. It's impossible for a lawyer to catalogue "all of my rights" without knowing more about the facts and issues involved. (Sex, drugs, work, travel, etc.) The best advice I can give you isn't legal advice but fatherly advice. Talk to your parents and listen to what they have to say; after all they have already made all the same mistakes as you're going to make in life.
