Teens Should Have The Right To Peacefully Rally.
As long as they do not disturb the peace too much, I think they should. The First Amendment grants us freedom of assembly in America. If they want to do things like hold a boycott or protest a curfew law, they have that right. If adults do, why shouldn't we?

I agree. They should be able to Rally and express themselves. As long as it is peaceful and they are left alone as well.

Yes.

Teenagers should use freedom of speech and rally if they want to.
Express their right to pursuit of happiness this venue if they need to.
I vote for this side :-)

Yes, as long as they obey the same procedure for adults to peacefully rally. In some places you have to apply for a permit first. Depending on size of group there may be mandatory provisions or information up front to ensure public safety. And like others said, you have to obey other basic laws, like not obstructing traffic, not damaging property, etc.

But if you can jump through the same hoops as an adult organizer then yes teens should be able to rally too.

As long as they don't violate the rights of others, or break said curfew in an act of protest, anybody should be able to hold political protests.

Here in Scotland, they're trying to introduce a curfew to tackle anti-social behaviour and under age drinking (!), and I was extremely disappointed to read that the time limit for children shall be 9pm - however, it's only for under 16's.

Not if it breaks the curfew law. Right to assemble not right to violate.
