I created this account yesterday. Don't you find it weird how even though I'm 15, it's set to child account anyways..
When you are eligible to update your account, you will receive an Origin notification each time you log in.
If you fit here- players in Ireland must be 16 and players in Australia must be 15 and in other countries for up to 13 years to update to an adult account- I do not see why you could not change 🤔
Have you tried this steps to Updating a child account to an adult account ?? And didn't work?
Maybe you have the wrong year of birth in Origin? 🤔
Then the only way to resolve ,you need to create an incident using the Talk to a Game Advisor link on the left, and a Game Advisor will assist you.

Your suggestions didn't work and no, I did not put in wrong date of birth. But, there might be a chance it said "Your account will be a child account until you reach 16 years of age" or something like that. Although I do not live in Ireland nor Australia. I live in Sweden. Nothing here in the web says I have to be 16 years or older to access online features..
