Minors have a lot of Constitutional and civil rights.
But what most minors don't understand is that many of those rights can be limited in school, or by their parents (who are not the Government). Constitutional and civil rights involve rights protecting you from criminal sanctions, and don't apply to rules in school or what your parents tell you to do.

Free speech, freedom of assembly (within curfew hours). They are protected by every amendment in the constitution. They cannot, however, sign legal documents. The 26th amendment only allows voting for those over the age of 18.
There are also child labor laws that protect them.
