What are the guidelines for kneeling during the Eucharistic Prayer?

[TheDumbFox]

Hello,

 I go to a Catholic High School in which we have an all school Mass every Tuesday. At Mass, my school allows students to stand for the Eucharistic prayer instead of kneeling due to the lack of kneelers. Is this right? Shouldn't we be kneeling anyway regardless if there are kneelers or not? I'd personally like to kneel but am afraid to because of the whole "sign of unity" thing and would be sticking out like a sore thumb. Should I kneel anyway or make my concern known? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
