During research I found many websites with conflicting (and oftentimes personal), opinions on this question. Tennessee's statutes seem vague on this subject but the below seems to be the most authoritative source I could find. TENNESSEE: 18 years of age; unless child is still in high school; in such cases emancipation occurs when child graduates from high school or when he/she reaches age of majority.

No they are still considered a minor. They must be the age of 18 to enter into a binding contract. Up to that age any contract they sign can be ignored.
