By her age she IS a minor - if that specific charge is an enhanced penalty offense in your state (i.e.- it is a greater offense to assault a minor than it is to assault an adult) then the assaulter COULD be charged with that offense.
It will be a PERMANENT part of your adult record.
It depends on the type of assault (Simple - Sexual - Battery - Weapon - etc) and the age of the minor. Assault is 'assault' no matter the age of the victim but it can be enhanced by additional charges of cruelty to a minor - or similar type charge.
She could be charged with assault. As an adult, an assault against a minor is going to be pretty serious.
You can charge them with harrasment. Or if they come at you with a weapon, like skateboard, rocks, knive, fistpacks, or any other object that can do harm to you, you can charge them with asult with a deadly weapon.

REALISTIC ANSWER: Assault is assault. If the juvenile were younger the charge against the perpetrator might include an 'enhanced' penalty due to the age of the child., However, when the minor is 16-year old it seems somewhat unlikely unless there are extenuating circumstances or the assault was especially brutal.
The sentencing for an adult first offense assault and battery charge can vary depending on the circumstances of the case, including the severity of the injuries, the presence of any aggravating factors, and the jurisdiction's laws. In general, the penalties can range from a fine and probation to imprisonment, with the possibility of community service and anger management classes.
If the court does not wave the minor to adult court the judge con only give the minor four years. until that person is 21. STATED BY AUTHOR
The charge of simple assault is the same whether you are a minor or an adult. There are no "special" offense charges for minors. The only difference is in how you are handled by the legal system. As for the punishment - there is no way to know. It is completely dependent on the seriousness of the offense, and what your past history might be.
