You can't have more than 48 hours of combined school and work hours, and since kids usually spend 30 hours a week in school, you can only work 18 hours a week. It's different if you're working for a family member though, and in agriculture. And the time you can work until varies by state and job.

Usually when you are a minor the most you can work on a school day is 4 hours. It usually cannot exceed 48 hours a week. You have to check what it says on your work permit though.

It depends on a lot of factors such as their exact age, the time of year (they can work more when school is out), and the industry (minors who work on farms can work more hours).
Generally minors under 16 can't work past 7 on a school night.

In other countries, they work over 80 hours a week in sweatshops.

Depends on age and the state you are working in. If you are still in high school, check with your school office, they can give you any details on age, hours, etc.
