ABSTRACT
Adolescents are not only the hope of our country but also the vulnerable groups which especially need social care and legal protection. At present, the special protection of vulnerable groups is the general trend of the development of human rights theory and world legislation. Whether the legislation of minors is perfect or not is the primary ruler to measure the progress of a country's legal system. Since the promulgation of the Law of the people's Republic of China on the Protection of minors, the protection of the rights and interests of minors in China has been greatly improved. However, with the rapid development of science and technology such as the reform and opening up and the Internet, as well as the changes in social atmosphere and development, there has been a new situation in the legal protection of the rights and interests of minors. Moreover, we in the law on the Protection of Minors is still a long way to go. Based on the relevant literature on the protection of minors at home and abroad, and on the international understanding of the protection of minors, based on the development and current situation of our country's juvenile legal protection, according to the existing problems, such as the lack of rigorous legislation, leading to the one-sided understanding of the law of psycho-sensitive minors and the frequent campus violence in modern society, this paper puts forward some suggestions to pay attention to the feelings of minors in the family proceedings, strengthen the cultural construction of law on the protection of minors, and improve the attention to the mental health of minors in the law and the prevention of prevention of campus violence.
