Sure. They could also bring assault charges, battery charges, attempted murder and just about any other crime they could connect.
The parents can file a police report. Individuals don't make the determination on whether or not charges are brought. The state (through police and prosecutors) make those decisions.

For just a slap in the face? No. there will be repercussions though and your parents will be responsible. It's assault.
A 16 year old may need to file a 1099-misc in some instances. This occurs when they are not hired on as an actual employee of the company.
Private individuals are not permitted to file criminal charges. You may report the assault to the police, regardless of the age of the accused. The police and the prosecution make the determination about whether or not formal charges will be pursued.
-awkward pause-
It would be assault and battery.
Yes, assault laws apply regardless of age. If a 21-year-old hits a 15-year-old, the incident should be reported to the authorities who can investigate and determine the appropriate charges based on the circumstances.
10 years, although I certainly wouldn't suggest delaying it. By the way, the parents don't actually file charges, the state does, and if someone else reports it, the state can proceed with charges even if the parents object to it.
If she is a minor (under the age of consent) then yes.
YES! THE PARENT CAN FILE CHARGES AGAINST THE 18 YEAR OLD.IN FACT THE STATE CAN PICK UP THE CHARGES WITHOUT YOUR PARENTS CONSENT WHICH WOULD BE CORRUPION OF A MINOR. IT COULD BE RAPE CHARGES AGAINST THE 18 YEAR OLD!
If you live in a state with antibullying laws, file charges.
If a 17 year old hits a 15 year old, it can be considered assault and may result in legal consequences. The 17 year old could face charges, such as assault or battery, depending on the severity of the incident and the laws in their jurisdiction. It is important for the victim or their guardians to report the incident to law enforcement.
If it's determined not to be an accident, they could be charged with assault.
Children's casual associations are governed by parental custody. If they ask you not to associate with their daughter, and you decide to do so anyway, they can file at a minimum, petty assault charges just for speaking to her. When she turns 17, she can associate with whomever she likes as she will have reached the age of consent in Texas.
Depends on what the age of consent is. Since it is usually 16 or 17, probably not.
