Teenagers ? ..
Adolescence ? ..
is a transitional stage of human development that occurs between childhood and adulthood. Adolescent humans go through
puberty, the process of sexual maturation. Teenagers (ages 13-19) are usually adolescent, though in some individuals, puberty
may extend a few years beyond the teenage years, and in some individuals, puberty begins in the pre-teen years.
In common usage around the world, "adolescent", "teenager", "teen", "youth", "young
adult", "youngster", "young person" and "Emerging Adult" may be considered synonyms - although
the term 'teenager' is an artifact of the English counting system, something which does not occur in all languages. The Oxford
English Dictionary cites the first usage of the term to a Popular Science Monthly issue of April, 1941, "I never knew
teen-agers could be so serious." In sociology, adolescence is seen as a cultural phenomenon for the working world and
therefore its end points are not easily tied to physical milestones. The time is identified with dramatic changes in the body,
along with developments in a person's psychology and academic career. At the onset of adolescence (often referred to as 'puberty'),
children usually complete elementary school and enter secondary education, such as middle school or high school. A person
between early childhood and the teenage years is sometimes referred to as a pre-teen or teen.
As a transitional stage of human development, adolescence is the period in which a child matures into an adult. This transition
involves biological (i.e. pubertal), social, and psychological changes, though the biological or physiological ones are the
easiest to measure objectively.
The ages of adolescence vary by culture. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescence as the period of life
between 10 and 19 years of age. In contrast, in the United States, adolescence is generally considered to begin somewhere
between ages 12 and 14, and end from 19 to 21. As distinct from the varied interpretations of who is considered an "adolescent",
the word "teenager" is more easily defined: it describes a person who is thirteen to nineteen years of age. It is
most commonly referred to people who attend high school.
During this period of life, most children go through the physical stages of puberty which often begins between the ages
of nine and thirteen.
Most cultures regard people as becoming adults at various ages of the teenage years, often at the age of eighteen.
