Teenage

/ˈtiˌneɪdʒ/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of teenagers, typically those aged thirteen through nineteen. Describing the adolescent period of human development.

Etymology

Compound of 'teen' (from the numbers thirteen-nineteen) and 'age.' The concept of 'teenager' as a distinct social category emerged in the 1940s with increased youth culture and education.

Kelly Says

Teenage is a remarkably recent concept - before the 20th century, people went straight from childhood to adulthood without this distinct phase. The invention of 'teenager' as a category coincided with the rise of high schools and youth consumer culture.
