A quick definition of Minor:

Minor: A minor is someone who is younger than the age of majority, which is usually 18 years old. Minors need to be taken care of by a parent or guardian, unless they are emancipated. Emancipation means they are legally considered an adult. Minors are treated differently than adults in many legal situations, like keeping their personal information private, getting punished for breaking the law, or owning property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A minor is a person who is younger than the "age of majority," which is usually 18 years old. Minors are not considered adults and must be under the care of a parent or guardian unless they are legally emancipated. Minors are treated differently from adults in many legal situations, such as privacy of official records, punishment in criminal matters, or the ownership or transfer of property.

Examples:

  • A 16-year-old is considered a minor and cannot vote in elections.
  • A 17-year-old who commits a crime may be punished differently than an adult who commits the same crime.
  • A 15-year-old cannot legally buy or sell property without the permission of their parent or guardian.

These examples illustrate how minors are treated differently from adults in various legal situations. Minors have certain limitations and restrictions until they reach the age of majority or become emancipated.
