“If there is no law, what will protect me?”
Lawyer Yang Ji-yeol's "Law Class for Teens"

We are influenced by the law, whether we know it or not.
It is especially important for young people to have a thorough understanding of the law, as they are vulnerable to crime and the severity of juvenile crime is increasing.
How can young people protect themselves and confidently navigate the world? As the saying goes, "He who sleeps on his rights finds them unprotected," understanding the law is essential to properly protecting ourselves.
This book will be the first step in helping young people protect themselves from the harsh world.

- Lawyer, if it's something like reading traffic lights, there's no need to know the law.
Adults are like that too.
They say you can live without laws.
Wouldn't it be enough if we don't forget to live well?
- You are preparing to face the world as adults while attending school.
Society is too complex to navigate simply by knowing what a red light is or what a green light is.
We all lived by the law, just not knowing it.
When I was carried on my parents' back or walking while holding their hands, I only went to safe places where my parents pulled me.
The teachers also helped me.
If you want to avoid getting lost in the wrong places even if you travel alone in the future, there are things you need to know.
Among them, we cannot leave out the law.

- There are cases where something appears to be a crime but is not.
Have you heard of self-defense?
- i know.
If a bad person hits you first, you should be able to fight back.
- That's exactly how many adults misunderstand.
In a superhero movie, defeating the villain feels good.
In reality, it is forbidden for an individual to punish another person.
Even if it seems clear that a crime has been committed, due process of investigation and trial must be followed.
Otherwise, it would become a lawless world where everyone would believe in their own power and set up their own system.
In that respect, self-defense is only recognized in a very limited way.

- Just a moment, lawyer.
Where in the world is there such a law? Last time, we clearly stated that parents have a duty of support to ensure their children maintain a standard of living.
- that's right.
But it's not just obligations, you also have rights.
Have you heard of the term "parental authority"? Parents have the right and duty to protect and educate their children. To that end, they can decide where their children should live.
When a father or mother exercises parental authority, it is as the legal representative of their minor child.
This means that the parent can manage the property acquired by the child.
It can also handle legal actions such as buying and selling children's property.
So, when transferring schools or studying abroad, you can give consent for other things that a minor cannot do on their own, and you can also take on the role of guardian when undergoing surgery.

- There are things that teenagers are going through right now.
The anonymity of online interactions adds to the problem. You can't know if the people you meet on social media are "real."
On the other hand, the other person will approach you after finding out who you are in detail.
I researched in advance and found out everything from what movies and music they like to what foods they like to eat, to even their hobbies.
It is common for people to ask to be added as a friend and then commit a crime.
You said that adolescence is a time of intense sexual curiosity.
They exchange photos and such while having a provocative conversation, and then suddenly change.
Since they know where you live, where you go, and even where your friends are, you might end up being dragged around doing whatever they say.
You could become a victim of a heinous sexual crime.
