Yes, but in home and school your rights are limited. You gotta listen to mom, dad and teachers.

We could answer this better if we knew what speech you're asking about, in what context and circumstances.
For instance, I'm pretty sure that schools have editorial control over what students print in school-funded publications.
There are restrictions on free speech for everyone (threats, slander and libel, and others).
And your parents have the right to punish you for cussing, or talking back to them, for example.
And, for yet another example, on this site, we are all bound by the Guidelines for using this site.
If you have some specific instance in mind, posting that would yield more relevant answers.
But in general, yes, but with restrictions we all have and others due to your age.

It depends on the forum. You are not allowed to yell obscenities in school. You are not allowed to talk in class if the teacher has asked you not to. Free speech is not unlimited for anyone. Even as an adult, if I were to go to a public place and begin yelling threats and obscenities, I would be arrested for disturbing the peace and making threats. With freedom of speech comes responsibility.

You have the right to free speech if you're an American, for example-however, that doesn't mean you can say anything anywhere and not have to deal with consequences.
To everything, there is a string attached. No?

Not really, at 12 you are under the power of parents and teachers
I think it takes a strong child to speak up against tyranny but think it out clearly and try to do it non-attacking

Yes you do, however you are also responsible for the consequences of your free speech

Not exactly. You have some rights but your full rights don't come into play until you are an adult. For good or bad, your parents or legal guardian still have the final say.
