This article analyses young Lithuanian students’ (aged 12 - 14) perceptions of the importance and existence of their rights at home and at school. The analysis includes a comparison of rights existence with rights importance, a comparison between the importance and existence of the various rights in both the home and school setting and a comparison between the findings in Lithuania with those for the composite of the other 20 countries participating in the cross - national research. The research revealed an exceptionally problematic situation for children’s rights implementation in Lithuanian schools. Greatest discrepancies between rights’ existence and importance in the school are reported by females and students of parents with high levels of education. The rights to self determination, dissociation when one needs, freedom and respect for thoughts and opinions, protection from hurting one’s feelings, living independently when one is ready were estimated by Lithuanian students as the most insufficiently realized for a child in the school. Respect for a child’s personality, opinion and feelings and his / her autonomy are the main problems children experience in Lithuania and various other countries as well.
