You have all the rights & responsibilities that come with being a US Citizen except those that are restricted to a specified age.
Your state may also afford you additional rights, such as the right to obtain a learner's driving permit.
If you break the law, Miranda rights apply to you.
If you are on the stand, the 5th and 6th Amendments apply to you.
As long as you don't break any other laws in the process (such as curfew violations or slander/libel) you have all the rights in the 1st Amendment.
The rest of the Bill of Rights applies, except those where age ristrictions exist (gun ownership, for example).
If you are an emancipated minor, you have the right to own property.
If you are not emancipated, you have the right to be provided food, water, shelter, & other basic necessities (medications if you need them, for example) by your parents or legal guardians.
You have all the basic civil rights to live without being assaulted, attacked, or discriminated against due to your gender, race, and/or religion. In some states, your sexual orientation is protected as well.
You might also have the right to employment, depending on the type of employment and where you live. If that is the case, you also have the right to be informed about worker's compensation, hazards in the workplace, and to be paid fair wages.

I will translate "Rights" to "Privilege" for the questions sake.
Your Privileges should be earned based on responsible and dignified actions towards yourself and other human beings. When you learn to solve problems effectively and do what you say you're going to do, life will have a natural way of rewarding you. "Rights" are earned by someone who cares, is respectful and kind to others, appreciates and respects authority, participates, and is enthusiastic about contributing to the world on any scale because it feels good. If you know anything about the "butterfly effect" you will know that your actions and deeds, no matter how great or seemingly insignificant at the time will reach the whole of mankind. If there is any resistence to comply by the rules of life, in school, college or at home, it will be felt.
Just remember...you are completely responsible for anything that falls in your lap or is taken away. Being perfect is not important here...striving to be the best human being you can be is. Saying you're sorry and doing something about it is a monumental act of love.

read the US Constitution. it sounds lame but It's incredible stuff.. When i was in school the sga wanted to have a type of "dorm court" they didn't want to allow you to know the people testifying against you. I just happen to be a member of SGA. at the time. (I also was a member of the US Naval Sea Cadets 3 years earlier and had taken the Oath of enlistment to defend the constitution, and so forth) This wasn't just Shady bu8t i sunk there hole movement to pass this in the school constitution because it was a Grouse violation of the 6th amendment I believe.

Actually, you have the right to be loved and provided for by your parents. You have the right to life, to not be robbed, raped, murdered, etc. But you do not have the right to do as you please, meaning until you reach the legal age of 18, you're under your parents authority. And if you continue to live at home after you become an adult, you still have to abide by their rules b/c it's their house. Don't try to grow up too fast, enjoy your teen years. You'll be an adult soon enough, you'll be paying your own bills, buying your own clothes, food, car, etc. Think about it.

You are entitled to your Constitutional Rights as they pertain to government/legal functions/actions. These rights do not apply to your parents, so you do not have the right to remain silent by pleading the fifth. You are not protected from unwarranted search and seizures on your private property from your parents. Your freedom of speech ends where they say it ends. They can drag your bum to any church of their choosing.
If you are arrested.....then you have rights. Until then...Obey Your Parents and don't worry about your rights.
