Well, how does the sizing standard for rings work? How do I know which size to get for my teener? Also, are the top and second rings exactly the same, or is there some 'invisible' difference between the two? Thanks.

The thinner rings are for pistons with narrower grooves. Use a thin ring in a wide-groove piston, and the few miles you get before the ring breaks and tears up the piston and the cylinder won't be worth the time it took you do do the job. Again.
