I suppose at this point I have to mention that there is a huge difference between roleplaying fictional minors and ERPing with actual minors, and you have absolutely no way of telling when you're doing the latter unless the person tells you specifically that he or she is a minor.
Obviously if you are aware that the person is a minor then you are probably safer refraining from engaging in any ERP with them if you're concerned about spillover into RL. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with engaging in ERP with minor characters that also happen to be postpubescent (prepubescent minors are another matter, and the presence of both Lalafells and Padjal complicate that considerably). If you find it icky when people approach your character for it, well, that's on you.
Full disclosure: I engaged in ERP all the way back when I was... fuck it, I don't even remember, maybe 12? 13? To my knowledge absolutely no one has gotten in trouble for it and most people I engaged with didn't even realize I was a minor because I didn't tell them. You're fighting a losing battle if you're concerned about this sort of thing because you are entirely dependent on the word of your partner and if that's a major concern for you, you're better off not engaging in anything resembling ERP at all. Which is silly, mind you. Very silly.

If you're not interested in it personally you should be making it clear that you're not interested in it, possibly by putting a message in your search info.
It's just UNIMAGINABLY awful when people try to proposition my goddamn 15 year old lalafell who very much acts like a young, derpy kid. Like, the entire point of her character is to be an adorable goofball that is the last thing you ever want to think of when boners are involved.
