teens
Meaning
The term "teens" refers to the period of life between the ages of 13 and 19, characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social development.
💡 A common mistake is to refer to individuals aged 20 and above as "teens," which is incorrect since the term specifically denotes ages 13 to 19.
