They say people of ages 18 and up are the only eligible people to watch pornography and that it is illegal for minors to watch. What is the exact age of minors? So if you're in your middle school or high school years, are you considered a minor?

It's all an ethical issue. And true, nobody knows whether or not you lie when you hit the "yes, I am over 18" tab on the online porn sites. But come on. When you grow up, and get yourself a child to care for, would you support them lookin at porn? It's not something you want your children to look into. And so, as 18 is the legal age for adult hood, (not only for porn, but also to leave the home) It only makes sense that it prohibits producers of pornography from selling to minors.
Moral of the story?
DEAL WITH IT!!

Any age designation is completely subjective. The day before your 18th B-day, you're too young, but magically overnight, it's ok.
But, to answer you question, yes anyone under age 18 is a minor and therefore, can't legally watch pornography.

Minor should mean those less than 18.
In fact, pornography is very damaging to reasoning and intelligent development. Readers would less consider alternative but resolving problems with violence. They should read more romantic stories to balance the effect.

18 is the law, but it may vary from state to state
