18. Rights
Schools sometimes behave as if people under 18 have no rights. They may have different rights, such as voting and alcohol, but they fall under the constitution like everyone else. I'm no lawyer, and I don't know what the particulars are for kids in school and what latitude schools have in imposing these restrictions. But the legal aspect aside, it seems some of these school administrators don't even consider that people under 18 should have the maximum possible ability to exercise free will.
