It depends on the Mall. MANY malls have instituted bans of teens being there without a parent or an adult because of the large numbers of teens that have started using the Malls as a place to "hang out" and in many cases caused trouble. My teens had to drag grandma to the local mall to help them out with their Christmas shopping because our local mall has such a ban. Sad isn't it?
Best bet is to call the main number for the mall you want to go to and ask, getting the name of the person you speak to, and explaing to that person that all you're wanting to do is SHOP.

I get left home regularly because my parents/guardians' jobs require them to go away for days/weeks at a time... but they always buy us pizza (us being my 11 year old cousin and my other 14 year old cousin) and they also buy us an ungodly amount of treats and stuff... Once in a while our aunt will come over and buy us some food and check up on us but that's about once a day. Sometimes we literally are home for 24 hours at a time without supervision. All we do is blast some Three Days Grace/Disturbed/Chevelle and start gaming. I was probably 14 when I was first left alone, now I'm 16 and it happens regularly and all I have to do is babysit when it happens.

Depends what the mall's rules are. If they have a rule against it and you do so, it's trespassing.
There's no general "Teens Shall Not Mall Shop" statute.

It depends on the rules of that particular mall....the mall is private property and they are free to refuse entry to anyone
