Is there a right for a child to not be forced to go somewhere by their parents?
My parents are forcing me against my will to go to a dumb summer camp. I told them I don't want to go and I am NOT going no matter what, but whatever I say they still continue to fill out the forms. Is there a right for me to where they cannot force me to go somewhere against my will?

Of course not. You might be surprised to find that you have fun there. Of course parents can force you to go some place.
You sure are ungrateful. They also feed, clothe, house you. Pay for school stuff, computers, and all kinds of other stuff. Maybe they just want a week or two of vacation from being parents.
But I suppose you are too selfish to consider them. After all, they only give you life.

Unless you are of legal age you parents can make the decisions on where to send you for the summer. Against your will?!? They are spending thousands of dollars and you are looking for a way out?

No, children have the right to listen to the parents and parents get to decide what is best. Be grateful.

No rights until you're 18.

Sorry, you're under 18 then you're not a legal adult. So you'll just have to suck it up, get over yourself, and do as they say.

lol there are no laws about this. they cant force you to go. if you dont want to go and they forcibly take you there, there is nothing you can do, until youre a legal adult.

Nope.
You're a child, and your parents are in charge of you.

That's not right, but maybe there was something you did to make them do that? Like get in trouble?
