Error : reached end of file while parsing

import java.io.Console;

public class TreeStory {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
    String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
    int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
    if (age < 13) {
      //Insert exit code
       console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to enter this pornhub. \n");
      System.exit(0);
    }
    String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
    String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
    String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun : ");
    if (noun.equals("dork")) {
        console.printf("not allowed. Exiting. \n\n");
        System.exit(0);
    }

Once I put those in, its keep saying

TreeStory.java:26: error: reached end of file while parsing } ^ 1 error.

Why is it keep saying that???? and also how to I copy and past the console?

Each { has to have a matching }. Correct indenting help line up each method/class/block opening ({) with each method/class/block ending (}). Assuming what you've posted is the complete code, you probably need to end with something like:

    }
}

I tried using an online java sandbox. I had to change the class name as it was expecting a class called name. The following code:

import java.io.Console;

public class Main { // * CHANGED CLASS NAME HERE - you don't need to do this.
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    /*  Some terms:
        noun - Person, place or thing
        verb - An action
        adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
        Enter your amazing code here!
    */
    String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
    int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
    if (age < 13) {
      //Insert exit code
       console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to enter this pornhub. \n");
      System.exit(0);
    }
    String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
    String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
    String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun : ");
    if (noun.equals("dork")) {
        console.printf("not allowed. Exiting. \n\n");
        System.exit(0);
    }

  } //added
}//added

produced:

How old are you?  45
Enter a name:  bob
Enter an adjective:  surly
Enter a noun :  dork
not allowed. Exiting.

So if you add the extra } symbols as suggested, save your changes and compile, then things should be okay.
