Abstract

Many teens feel that they are discriminated against based on age, appearance and other reasons. Teens often do not know how to react to discriminatory positions taken by organizations that they have to deal with. Often the fact that they do not know their legal rights limits the ways in which teens can respond. These feelings of helplessness or oppression can result in teens choosing to fight a battle in the wrong way or simply to give up. This program is about empowering teens.
