1. Teen

   Adolescence (from Latin adolescere 'to mature') is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to adulthood (typically corresponding to the age of majority). Adolescence is usually associated with the teenage years, but its physical, psychological or cultural expressions may begin earlier and end later. Puberty now typically begins during preadolescence, particularly in females. Physical growth (particularly in males) and cognitive development can extend past the teens. Age provides only a rough marker of adolescence, and scholars have not agreed upon a precise definition. Some definitions start as early as 10 and end as late as 25 or 26. The World Health Organization definition officially designates an adolescent as someone between the ages of 10 and 19.

Examples of teen in a Sentence

1. Tricia Ferrara:

   Initially, it is possible they may not have much to say, events like this sometimes defy language, and a teen may struggle to discuss. However, remain open for these emerging adults.

3. Francine Valerie Ingrassia -RRB- Ingrassia:

   My son’s story will be the platform to make a change because watching this unfold in front of me my three children was terrifying. I am forever grateful for everyone on that flight who aligned themselves to save his life. Nurse Kelly, teen passengers who gave us their Epi-pens and staff, but I am so disappointed in AA as a corporation for endangering lives of so many passengers. I pray for change and change will happen if we come together on this.

5. Leonardo DiCaprio:

   People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes what they want is to see you fall.
