Through a custodial account. An adult can setup a account and add you as a custodial. The custodial makes the trades through your accounts, but the money remains separate from both accounts.

You must be 18 to establish a trading account. If you are under 18 you can have an account assigned to your social security number but it must be a custodial account and a custodian will control the account until you are 18 years of age.

A tust is a fiduciary relationship in which one party, known as a trustor, gives another party, the trustee, the right to hold title to property or assets for the benefit of a third party, the beneficiary. A trust can be setup for a trustee of any age, and that age can be specified by the trustor. A custodial account is managed by an adult for a client who is considered a minor age 18-21 years old. Once the client reaches the legal age of their state of residence the account is taken over by the named account holder.
why?
The custodian must either buy the securities or sell the rights. He cannot let them expire because it would not be in the best interest to the minor. The same is also true of warrants.
