Awesome job! You only had some small typos by leaving out a brace } to close your isInvalidWord if statement and using too many parenthesis () for your equalsIgnoreCase. I commented your code with the fixes and it compiles and runs great.
import java.io.Console;
public class TreeStory { //open class
public static void main(String[] args) {//open main
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 <8){//open if 1
// ad system exit code
console.printf ("Sorry you have to atleast 8 to use this program.\n");
System.exit (0);
}//close if 1
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun ;
boolean isInvalidWord;
do {//open do
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
//You had too many ((((( ))))
isInvalidWord = noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork")
|| noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")
|| noun.equalsIgnoreCase("idiot");
if (isInvalidWord){//open if 2
console.printf ("Sorry you are not allowed to use that language.\n---------------Try again---------------\n");
}//forgot to close if 2
} while (isInvalidWord) ;//close do
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");
console.printf ("-----------Your Story----------- \n");
console.printf ("%s is a %s %s. ",name, adjective,noun);
console.printf ("He is always %s %s.",verb,adverb);
}//close main
}//close class

Chris
