阿拉斯加州
聯邦法律是各地的最低標準。每個州在此基礎上各有不同的規定：工作許可證、停課規則、誰算是少年，以及何時可以預先登記做選民。選擇你所在的州，先閱讀聯邦基本規定，再閱讀州的規定。
青少年工作
聯邦法律為工作年齡及工時訂立最低標準。工作許可證、上課週的工時限制以及最低工資，則由你所在的州決定。
聯邦法律：適用於每一個州
由這裏開始。無論你住在哪裏，這些規則都適用。州政府可以在此之上增加保障，但不能取消這些保障。
Your first job: the rules that exist to protect you
Teen employment is one of the most heavily regulated areas of youth life, and one of the least explained. Hours, pay, and safety all have floors an employer cannot go below.
Jobs and tasks minors are not allowed to do, even with permission
Federal law bans people under 18 from a specific list of hazardous occupations. A parent's consent does not create an exception.
Working papers: what they are, and how to actually get them
Some states require a work permit before a minor can start a job. Whether you need one, and how to get it, depends entirely on your state.
Filing a workplace complaint: which agency handles what
Unpaid wages, unsafe conditions, and illegal child labor go to different government agencies. Knowing which one saves real time.

學校紀律與學生權利
《憲法》及聯邦民權法適用於每一間學校。強制入學年齡、停課程序及反欺凌規則，則由你所在的州訂立。
聯邦法律：適用於每一個州
由這裏開始。無論你住在哪裏，這些規則都適用。州政府可以在此之上增加保障，但不能取消這些保障。
What student rights actually mean at school
Students keep their constitutional rights when they walk through the school doors, but those rights work differently inside a school than they do anywhere else. Here is the shape of that difference.
Due process before a suspension or expulsion: the Goss v. Lopez baseline
Before a school can suspend you, the Constitution requires a minimum: notice of what you're accused of, and a real chance to respond. Longer removals require more.
Beyond the backpack: how search rules differ for lockers, cars, and phones
The reasonable-suspicion standard from New Jersey v. T.L.O. is the starting point for school searches, but lockers, cars, and phone content don't all get treated the same way.
Bullying and discrimination: where school rules end and civil rights begin
Not every cruel thing that happens at school is a legal violation, and not every legal violation looks dramatic. The difference decides who has to act.

警察截查與少年法庭
你的憲法權利無論去到哪一州都同樣有效。誰算是少年，以及未成年人在被盤問時享有甚麼保障，則由你所在的州決定。
聯邦法律：適用於每一個州
由這裏開始。無論你住在哪裏，這些規則都適用。州政府可以在此之上增加保障，但不能取消這些保障。
“Am I free to leave?” — the question that defines a police encounter
Whether a conversation with an officer is voluntary or a detention changes what rules apply. One clear question is how you find out which one you are in.
Miranda warnings: when they actually apply, and when they don't
Television suggests officers must read you your rights the moment they approach. The real rule is narrower — and misunderstanding it leads people to say things they meant to keep to themselves.
How juvenile court is different from adult court
Different words, different goals, and a different set of protections. What the juvenile system is designed to do, and where its promises have limits.
Being questioned as a witness — and why that can change mid-conversation
“We just need your help with something that happened” is a genuine request sometimes and an opening question other times. The same protections apply either way.

年齡與人生里程碑
18 歲投票是聯邦規定。幾歲成年、何時可以預先登記做選民、如何考取駕駛執照，以及脫離監護需要甚麼條件，全部由各州決定。
聯邦法律：適用於每一個州
由這裏開始。無論你住在哪裏，這些規則都適用。州政府可以在此之上增加保障，但不能取消這些保障。
Civic power before you can vote
Voting is one tool among many, and it arrives late. Public comment, records requests, school boards, and petitions are open to people who are not yet eighteen.
Preregistering to vote: in many states you don't have to wait until 18
Most states let you register or preregister before your eighteenth birthday, so your registration activates automatically when you become eligible.
Emancipation: what it actually requires, and what it doesn't change
Legal emancipation is a real, court-supervised process with real requirements — and it doesn't erase every age-based rule the way people often assume.
Signing things before you turn eighteen
Subscriptions, phone plans, gym memberships, and app terms. Why contracts with minors work differently, and why that is not the same as nothing counting.
