I dont think minors can participate because this is a little bit different.
Even with Parental consent, It really is your wellbeing. if something were to happen to you on a show like this, the general public would ask, "How could a parent have let their child do something so dangerous?!?!"
There also is the issue of school. Most, if not all, people under the age of 18 are still in highschool.
Since the show spans from september to November, you would be missing about a third of a school year, which, again, may cause the general public to castrate the producers of the show or even your own parents.
I'm going to be 20 in a month, and I applied, but my sister is 17. Honestly, I dont think someone under 18 and out of highschool has had a chance for their hormones, and therefore, their emotions to stabilize.
This is just a general statement though.
I'm not saying you are incapable, because I dont know you
