If two minors are experiencing harassment and both are under the are of 18, the standard application will be used, but it would be the parent versus the parent on behalf of each minor. 

If a minor is experiencing harassment and the adverse party is over  the age of 18, the minor's parent/guardian must complete the application on behalf of the minor child and against the adverse party.
