Ultimately, they couldn’t offer a solution beyond suspending my account, then reconfirming it with a credit card to prove I was of age. Since I didn’t want to take any risk of losing my AdSense and DoubleClick for Publishers accounts, which are associated with that Google Account, I chose to open another Google Account for Google+.

Yeah, Google’s got a bug here.

I’m 56 years old and created a YouTube account last year. For some reason, it is listing my age as 16 as well. I seriously doubt that I entered my DOB incorrectly. I’ve now deleted that YouTube account and yet Google still thinks I’m “underage” when I respond to my friend’s request to join Google+. Pretty frustrating.

How did you reach them? I (and many others) am having the same problem with G+!
