In general, teens have the same rights as adults. Those include the right of free speech and association, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to refuse to be questioned by the police in a criminal case. Some of those rights are restricted a bit when one is at school. For example, a school may impose limits on the type of article chosen for publication in a school-run newspaper. Schools may also limit the expression of offensive speech and can set up a dress code.
Schools can set up rules and policies that outline the disciplinary system.
For a school rule to be enforceable, it should be in the school's policy manual, and the school must distribute the manual to students. The best way to find out what your school's policies and rules are is to get a copy of the school's policy manual. You can request a copy from the administrative office at the school.
