What are your rights as a teen?

Separation from parents can be challenging, but it’s crucial to understand your rights and how to use them. Parents should respect your right to;

1. Be informed about the separation.
2. Express your views.
3. Maintain contact with both parents (unless there is concerns with safety or well-being).
4. Receive financial support.
5. Have a safe and stable home environment.

It is important to consider that when expressing your views, people may not always be able to agree with everything you say, but it is vital that they listen to you. It’s essential to communicate your concerns and have your parents listen to your needs. Remember that support is available and can be found through conversations with people you trust. These rights are there to allow you to express yourself and ensure that you are treated fairly with respect.
