American Law for Teens: Your Rights, Responsibilities, Legal Life and Turning 18
About this book
American Law for Teens is a plain-English guide by attorney Ngozi E. Bolin to the laws that shape teens’ lives at school, online, at work, with police and on turning 18. It is written for teens across the United States, their teachers and parents, and any teen getting ready to turn 18.
Your Rights, Responsibilities, Legal Life and Turning 18
A principal asks for your phone. A boss takes money out of your paycheck. An officer starts asking questions. A landlord slides you a lease. Moments like these don’t wait until you’re an adult, and each one has its own rules. How you respond matters.
American Law for Teens: Your Rights, Responsibilities, Legal Life and Turning 18 breaks American law down into plain language and shows you how it applies to you, from what you post online to the everyday choices you might not think twice about.
You don’t need to be a lawyer. But you do need to know when a decision has legal consequences, which rules may apply, and when to get help. Start now, before it becomes urgent.
