Re: Teenagers Rights
It is not "politically correct" to say this but in Texas, children are the property of the parents. Parents are not allowed to kill you or starve you. But, they can do pretty much whatever they want to do. Essentially, a minor child is just like owning a dog or a cow.

Re: Teenagers Rights
Teenagers are still children in the eyes of the law. As far as the constitution, the word "teenagers" is not mentioned, so any rights they have would be derived from their parents. (Have you figured out that I am not a teen-ager)? Good Luck.
