I think this was asked by someone already, but I do wonder. I think it would be cool if my sister joined the Fediverse (but blocked NSFW content). She is a high school freshman, but I can’t have her join an instance where you must be an adult.

I do have friends on other social medias that are 13+ with their teen siblings making an account to follow them, but what are the rules here??

There was a user that was revealed to be under 18, maybe they were 16 almost 17, Abe they got banned, by .world (I could be wrong there).

if it's who I think it is, they themselves said so

And that is what I would recommend against, even on a server that does not ban that age. If someone's (young) age is relevant to a discussion they wish to participate in, I would suggest a throwaway account.

Was it that one 14 yr old girl?? She was permabanned everywhere.

Maybe, I thought they were older than 14. But I only followed a bit and my aging memory may be failing me.

They may have been 16-17 then. Her?? or no?
