Polonius, Ophelia, Gertrude, Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes.
The text does not say for certain. Certainly Ophelia is treated like a child whereas Laertes is treated like someone more mature, but this may not be a true indication of their respective ages. Polonius and Laertes (and Hamlet for that matter) treat Ophelia as if she has no mind of her own, no capability of acting on her own. And indeed this appears to be the case, but it may be because she has always been treated like that, not because she is young.
Ophelia appears to obey whenever her brother or father tell her anything. She's annoyed at Laertes's urge toward chastity, since she suspects him of being a hypocrite, but she agrees anyway. She's very meek, up until she goes mad.
