Citizenship is the status of being a citizen [either by heredity, invitation, or even immigration] of a country, which offers certain rights, and expects certain duties in return.
This web page should provide enough material for five teenagers - plus links to other related sites as well, in case more details are needed :

If I made the rules, I would do interviews and decide from there, not the case. In the U.S. you must either get a student pass, visitor pass, or traveling visa, these days it is increasingly harder. The good old land of the free is not for the people, by the people, anymore, it's against all of the people. It's not innocent until proved guilty, it's guilty. I am sorry and embarrassed at this. The good must suffer for the bad, which I always thought was a sale out policy...

you seem to be asking this question quite often and I need some more points so:
Citizenship for me:
I consider myself a citizen of Europe primarily. I'm British but I live in Germany. I don't live in Germany by choice as such so I don't want to be a citizen of any German places but as I'm not living in the UK, I can't be a citizen of there either so I'm going with Europe. As a citizen of Europe I have to abide by the rules, both government and society, of which ever European Country I am in and I feel I have some duty to defend these rules where necessary. I am part of the European Population and therefore an ambassador for the Continent where-ever else I go so I feel I have to be 'good' where ever else I travel so I don't get people thinking, 'urh, Europeans, they are all up themselves' or what ever.
How's that? Do I get 10 points?

You mean someone is still teaching citizenship? Amazing!
Citizenship is the willingness to accept the responsiblilty of a citizen in the functioning of their government. This means obeying the laws,observing the right and/or privileges of others and keeping your immediate environment clean, neat and tidy by your own effort.

i am certain that you already known the basic concepts of what being a citizen is (i.e. nationality or race related concepts).
However, to be a citizen is not only simply belonging to a nation but rather and more importantly, it is the active participation in political endeavors of the nation you belong to. Voting, for instance, is one example of actively participating in politics.
citizenship, thus, must be about having a non-passive role in society.
