Minors are individuals who are not yet considered adults, typically defined as those under the age of 18. They are often seen as needing protection and guidance from adults, as they may lack the experience and maturity to make certain decisions. In many places, laws are in place to ensure that minors are treated fairly and that their rights are upheld. In various contexts, such as education and healthcare, minors may require parental consent for certain activities. For example, a minor might need a parent’s permission to participate in a school trip or receive a medical treatment. These regulations help ensure that minors are safe and supported as they grow.
