I went to the US in Aug. 2002, with my mum and my siblings. I'm not sure whether we used the vwp or what, but we had little green cards stapled into our passports? We did overstay, and left in 2005

We did go to Canada in Nov. 2002, but we were unaware we were supposed to leave the country for 30 days, and returned after 24 hours.

Well, my mum got married whilst we were over there, in 2004, they were together from 2002-2004 when they married. We left in 2005, of our own accord, and were not removed by the USA immigration, after my mums marriage broke apart when he got into drugs & thieving.

My question is, in order for me to visit the US this spring for 3 weeks, will I need to apply for a B-2 Visa, or am I eligiblle for the VWP, as I was a minor, aged 10 in 2002, and 12 in 2005 when we left?

I now know that the little green card was the I94W, meaning we entered on the VWP. So if I need to go for a B-2, with me being only 21 when I travel, what are may chances of being approved, seeing as I don't own a home, car etc. I do attend university, have a job, family, and have exams when I return, and the possibility of voluntary work based in my chosen career field when I return?

No I haven't tried it, I don't want to hurt my chances of obtaining a B-2 visa... And I don't want to risk paying out all the money I am on flights, travelling, and then getting denied entry at the port of entry... Would that hurt my chances of a B-2? And I'm sure there's a question asking if you have ever overstayed, and I'd assume that meant as a minor too?
