11) The right to an education. It gives young people the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices, get good jobs, understand their other rights, and participate fully in society.

12) Citizens should vote because it’s the main way to influence government, choose leaders and policies that affect your life, hold officials accountable, and ensure your community’s needs are represented.

13) One right at school is the right to a safe, nondiscriminatory learning environment. It’s important because students learn and succeed best when they feel physically and emotionally safe and are treated fairly.

14) If someone uses speech to threaten or hurt others, there should be consequences: the threat should be investigated, victims supported, and appropriate disciplinary or legal action taken. Speech that incites violence, makes credible threats, or amounts to harassment is not protected and should be addressed, while responses should also aim to educate and prevent repeat harm when possible.

15) A right is something you are entitled to (a freedom or protection), while a responsibility is something you are expected or required to do. Rights protect individuals; responsibilities help ensure everyone’s rights can be enjoyed (for example, you have a right to speak, and a responsibility to not use speech to harm others).
