There is no set age. The Bill of Rights applies to every person visiting, living in or being a citizen of the United States of America. However, minors have some restrictions. For example:
1st Amendment: Freedom or Speech, Press, Religion and Petition.
You are free to choose your religion, be it Atheism (technically not a religion), Christianity or Islam, to name a few examples. They can, however, force you to go to church (or another holy place) even if you don't want to.
2nd Amendment: Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
Minors may not legally own firearms or explosive devices of any kind (guns, fireworks, grenades, etc.)
Those are just a few examples of how minors are a bit limited (1st Am. may have some good reasons, 2nd Am. DEFINITELY has a good reason for restrictions).
