"I was thinking about trying out the sticker thing...i really hate the oppression brought on teens these days, i feel that adults are mocking us even by trying to enforce this disgusting law. I am glad i found your sight, thank you for trying to help."
Elizabeth Matthews, Miles City, MT
We are a homeschooling family. The children (and adults) in this home are in control of their own education. We are horrified by the treatment of public schooled institutionalized children. You have given us more issues to discuss and ponder.
I am impressed and pleased to see a site like yours. It is about time that the blinders were removed from the eyes of children and adults alike about the injustices that children endure on a daily basis. Basic human rights that are disregarded because they are children is not acceptable. I am learning a lot while I read the articles on your site. Things I never thought about before. Please continue to educate people."
Amy, MN
“On the lineup of teen tv shows for the Fall: "Too bad they don't make a show about the oppressive school system, instead of a false image glamorizing high school life. If they did a show about the real lives of many teens it could be filed with Amistad and Schindlers List."."
Jason Gerber
“first of all I just wanted to say that your website kicks major a**! the driving age of teenagers should not be jacked up because the government thinks were irresponsible juveniles .it's not fair because no matter how high they get the age limit to be people who are just learning or really are irresponsible are still gonna wreck. most likely 18 year olds are gonna be more likely to wreck of drinking and driving because they are going to college and they just wanna have fun. we should not be punished for the mistakes of others. the government has no right to do this. we as the teens of the U.S should fight back! I had a teacher once tell me that "you are a teenager you don't have any rights" I am going to do whatever it takes to prove her wrong we are people of the united states too and just because we are young doesn't mean we shouldn't be treated as equals!."
Ashley Holt
“We further suggest that compulsory education laws may be contributing to violence in public schools."
Reason Public Policy Institute
“No one seems to think that peer abuse is real or damaging. I would like to see any adult report for work and be taunted, humiliated, harassed, and degraded every single day without going stark, raving mad. Human beings are not wired for abuse."
Bagatti on Slashdot.org
“It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom."
A unknown enlightened person
“Today I sat in English class and we obviously talked about these shootings in Colorado. And I realized that because of this it has influenced people to be anti-guns. This is ridiculous! Like it is said, " its not the gun that kills its the people". Now we have a dilemma on our hands. We have to fight especially now against this gun control. Because if we don't they are going to make it even more strict. I am from Little Rock Arkansas and when the Jonesboro shootings happened, that mom stepped up and supported these gun control bills. And now I see her on TV supporting it even more. She is trying to blame the guns for the loss of her child. When instead the problem was right under her nose. The kids! Those guns did not walk up to that hill and shoot people buy themselves! Its the people not the guns! So you can see they are blaming guns not the people. So we have to fight back.”

“In the big cities there are other venues for violent behavior. In a big city, they would find gang to join. There would be other opportunities [for them to act our their violence]. Here there was nowhere to go except the school itself.”
Rami Mosseri, a child-violence expert
“Everything you are doing is great on March 19th four of my friends were arrested for being out two minutes past curfew, they were headed home. We all need to know our rights and you are a good way to learn them. Thank you”
Sariah, Portland, OR
“I've been interested in the libertarian party for a while now. I'm sick
of not being taken seriously just because I'm a sixteen year old girl.
It's complete bullshit to tell me I can't make my own decisions based on
my age. I'm often more rational than these jerk off politicians. I want
them to know that we're not ignorant, or incapable, and we will not lie
down for anyone. ”
Ariel, San Jose, CA
“Dudes, I just noticed your website for the first time and it really does ROCK! I really am pissed off at the way the government and schools are trying to run everybody's lives. I am especially pissed about how they want to stop us from smoking cigarettes. I am 16 and have been a regular smoker with my parents total coolness for two years. My mom and dad both smoke and when I told them I wanted to start firing them up at home they were totally cool. I give them the money and they get them for me. I smoke two packs of Marlboro reds everyday and really enjoy it. What sucks is that some buddies and I got busted for smoking in my car in the school parking lot before school started. Now we have to either attend a four week stop smoking class or be expelled.”
Trenton S.
“There is really no escaping the American culture anymore, no escaping the big story, the current debate, the thing that's happening. Once, you could live on a farm and raise your children with your own truths and information. Once not so long ago, in our lifetime, you could live in a big-city suburb and do pretty much the same.”
Peggy Noonan, author of "Simply Speaking" (Regan Books, 1998).
“I will do whatever it takes to get the cops off of the backs of the youth of this country. This is shitty and not fair. Its another one of those adult domination, anything you can do we can do better type thing, and frankly it pisses me off.I am 14 and I smoke, yeah. But why the hell is it alright for a police man to come up and yank my cigareette out of my mouth and put it out. then take my cigs which I bought with my money and break every last one. And then to top that all off arrest me at 11:00 for walking back to my house from getting some coffee. This is something that is completely and utterly not right. Anything extra that I can do let me know please. Send me mailers, kits, anything. You can trust me to get the job done. I want this to go away just as bad as you do. Thank you.”
Lindsey; Ukiah, Ca
“Cops always tell you to move along when its past curfew. Don't listen to them because SLAVERY IS THE FINAL DESTINATION FOR PEOPLE THAT ALWAYS MOVE ALONG.”
Dave Doctor; NY, NY
“Everyone's right, you guys rock! Sure enough, the same thing happened to a couple of buddies and myself at the beach over the summer. The curfew in Laguna Beach is 10:00, and by 10:15, everyone under 18 years of age were handcuffed, thrown in the cop car and loaded down to the LBPD. It was cruel, embarassing and uncalled for.”
Anonymous
“This curfew is just a way for the government THINK they are in controll, but they need to know that making more rules for teens wont work and we'll just do the opposite (in protest). We have rights too!!”
Karen
“To whom ever made up this site, I give you mad props (in other words I meant you did a good job and really like this site). I am 14 and was at my friends's party and the cops came by and we had to move from the garage (which was open) to the backyard, because of the curfew.”
Emil, Paradise Hills, CA
“I'm glad to see that someone is taking such a strong stand against these issues, I like the idea of standing up for what you believe in, unfortunately there are a lot of "head turners" who know that something is wrong but keep their mouths shut”
Tanya, Elridge, LA
“I would like to say that your sight kicks ass.”
Hans, Cancoon, CA
“Hey there folks, I'll do whatever I can out here in NJ to help you folks out. Youth rights is a cause I really believe in. Keep on going and don't give in till your rights are recognized!”
Larry, Voorhees, NJ
“This is a smashing idea. Getting area youth involved in fighting for what's right!”
Tim, Highlands Ranch, CO
“This is a great idea for us to use our rights and to show we know they exist. Although there isn't currently a curfew in Webster I still support the battle against them!”
Brian, Webster, NY
“I would very much appreciate a sticker to put on my car. I think the Curfew law is a big deal around my area. We are a small town and alot of people walk as transpertation. Just because we are out late doesn't mean we are up to no good!!”
Brittany, Hollidaysburg, PA
“A curfew has been considered here, the thing is I'm against a curfew in principal, but there really isn't anything for teens to do in this hicksville town. Everything shuts down at 10:00 or 11:00 and the only thing left for us to do is hang out in parking lots or park, so big deal. Anyway, send me some stickers so I can put them on my backpack for everyone to see.”
Denise, West Monroe, LA,
“The curfew in our town is outrageous. 15 and under is 10:00 and then for 16 to 17 it is 12:00. You cannot be outside in groups more than three or you will be considered doing something illegal and you can get a ticket for that. And you cannot travel around a block more than three times without being arrested or ticketed for cruising.”
Sarah, Orange City, IA
