I'm would like to use on my website AdSense's ads features. The TOS require age above 18. I'm currently 17 and will reach this age after 9 months.  Which of the following is the best option?Use a fake date of birthI could take risk of registering account with fake date of birth (to reach age >= 18).  AdSense might find about this and penalize me.  I'm not sure what I would lose if that happened. Maybe a time ban or some kind money charge.Use my parentsI could use the account of an adult for example my parent, but I don't know if I could transfer the site to my own account when I turn 18.   See: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/adsense/0zaDdnmE0KMSummaryIn both solutions I take some risk.  I can't afford to start this service without AdSense, and the service would not very useful to start in 9 months.  What is my better option?

Lying about your age is NOT a good option.  If Google closes your AdSense account, you are effectively banned for life.  Google will occasionally re-open closed accounts, but I have not heard many cases of that actually happening.Relying on your parents is a good option.  The income would technically be theirs for tax purposes.  When you turn 18 you can open your own AdSense account and change the tags on the site so that it goes to your own account at that point.
