I've been trying to make a business account for some time but it always says I must be 18 or older to continue with the account. I've seen other high school kids who started businesses with Paypal business accounts so I was just wondering is there any way to get a business account before 18? Or do I need a parent to make one for me?

Paypal does not allow account holders under the age of 18.
PayPal asks for a birth date when you register so whilst you can make a PayPal account with false information the account will need to be verified to accept funds into your balance or lift any limits.
As you would be unable to verify your account it would be locked for further use.
Minors can’t enter legal contracts so you may not have any recourse to get your money back until you were 18.
Consider what your goals are in the long-term so that you don’t back yourself into a corner.
