So what does all this mean in real life?
Your rights are not just words. Behind each one are young people who have experienced those rights being ignored.
At SCCYP, we have spoken to young people who have told us about their lives, and when they feel that their rights have been ignored.
Their stories are listed below, and they might be similar to your own, or the life of a friend or family member.
If you feel your rights have been broken or ignored, please tell us about it so Tam can help you.
We also want to hear about good stuff that happens to you - maybe an example of your rights being respected. Just talk to Tam if there's anything on your mind.
