Juliet is two weeks shy of her 14th birthday - still a 13 year old. Her mother says that other women of Verona are married by Juliet's age, and says of herself:
I was your mother much upon these years
That you are now a maid.
...which indicates that she had given birth to Juliet when she was approximately 13 and is now 26 or 27.
Juliet is old enough to be married
Both of Juliet's parents want her to marry Paris.
She will kill herself.
Mother: Need you my help? Juliet: No, Madam That's from Act 4 Scene 3; if you want a different exchange between them there are a number of them.
They had different mothers--they were not brother and sister, you know. We don't know about Lady Montague, but Capulet says that Lady Capulet was about Juliet's age when Juliet was born. That would make her about twenty-eight.

Juliet's mother wanted Juliet to marry Paris, not Romeo. She did not approve of Romeo as a suitor for Juliet.

Juliets relatives are the Capulets. In the book it talks of.... Lady Capulet, Capulet, Tybalt. Lady Capulet is Juliets Mother (She encourages Paris' and Juliets marriage) Capulet is Juliets father (The one who forces her to marry Paris) Tybalt is Juliets cousin. (He picks a fight with Mercutio and kills him. Romeo takes revenge for his friend and kills Tybalt. That is why Romeo is banished from Verona)
His name is Paris, "the County Paris" as they call him.
Juliet tells her mother that she is not eager to consider marriage at that moment because she has not thought about it yet. She says she will only look at Paris during the party to satisfy her mother.
Juliet's nurse is old enough to be her mother, since she is exactly the same age as the nurse's daughter, now deceased. "Susan and she--God rest all Christian souls!--were of an age. Well, Susan is with God; she was too good for me." She might be in her mid-thirties.
