If you are a minor your parents can change your citizenship wihtout your consent.
Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Before an oath of renunciation will be administered under Section 349(a)(5) of the INA, a person under the age of eighteen must convince a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer that he/she fully understands the nature and consequences of the oath of renunciation, is not subject to duress or undue influence, and is voluntarily seeking to renounce his/her U.S. citizenship.

And what happens when such a minor child reaches the age of eighteen, does nothing to affirm US citizenship, attends university in the United States on foreign aid, and travels on a foreign passport, from a nation that did not permit dual citizenship?
