Age in general is a protected class without regard to specific ages (for legal adults). The protection was granted in part because of discrimination that was occurring against seniors. Seniors are the most targeted group and therefore benefit the most from the protection of the law. However, anyone who experiences age discrimination has legal recourse if the law has been violated.

Minors are another matter. Due to state and/or Federal Laws minor's may not be allowed to be bound by or enter into contracts or be held liable for debts. Therefore they generally do not have credit and usually can not obtain loans or other financing.
