No group has the monoploy on being discriminated against. Instead of treating people according to their group status, how about treating them as individuals instead?

The worst discrimination existing yet in this country is directed toward youth. They are the next (perhaps the last) group that will win their civil rights.
Most youth cannot vote, cannot own property, cannot sign contracts, cannot control their schooling, can't get a job, get less pay for the same work, suffer profiling by the police, can't leave their parents, can't drink alcohol, can't drive cars, can't run for office, can't enter many businesses, can't walk down the street without being arrested, can't smoke, can't watch many movies, or play many video games, face drug tests, random searches, uniforms, and censorship at school, can be legally hit and beaten, do not have the human right to use the restroom at school, get sent to Gulag Schools where they face torture and brainwashing, are punished by an unequal and unfair juvenile justice system, and many many more injustices.
Plus just through interpersonal relations, youth are patronized, belittled, ignored, disrespected, scapegoated, in some cases hated, and in most ways are treated no differently than blacks, women, gays, and other oppressed groups throughout history.
Young people are oppressed. They face bias, discrimination and prejudice at every turn. Fighting for their rights is the Last Civil Rights Movement.

And  to that "oppression". I shudder to think of what the world would be like if young people could do all of those things.
(btw, I'm in high school  )

Youth is the wrong term, as it commands too much respect. I prefer child.
And judging by the decisions children make today, I would not want them having the same rights as adults.
