Is 18 and 19 still a teenager?

[Anonymous]

so i was just called a teenager by my aunt and she knows im 18. she said im still a teenager because the word even has teen in it (eight-teen) but i am legally an adult. what do you think?

yes

no

Yes, you're still a teenager and sort of getting into the young adult section. Just because you're legally an adult doesn't mean you act like one. Case and point:

In college, we still build pillow forts and sometimes we throw frozen grapes at each other. Also many people have My Little Pony backpacks. There is this guy, I think he graduate, wore a whale tail around campus. Not the "whale tail" where the women's underwear are seen above his pant, but a literal stuffed whale tail.

I caught I guy practicing with lighsabers, and we have sticker parties and enjoy themed mac n' cheese, such as Sponge Bob, Adventure Time, and How to Train Your Dragon.

You are not an adult and neither are most people in college. Just enjoy our fun while it lasts.

and as you might have noticed... I still use pokemon for my avi. Some people call it cowardly and hiding, I call it awesome.

Technically yes, but you have rights other teenagers don't & can tried as an adult.

[bente2]

I think you become an adult when you live on your own, without your parents.

Technically and on paper, you're a "teen"ager
just as she said. But there's also the unwritten
rule that "you're what you feel".

Like, an adult can still be
a child at heart, you know? ^.^

Age doesn't equal maturity (whatever that may be) you're a teen because you're still in your teens year. However a sixteen year old can be more mature than a thirty-two year old.

[CommieDearest]

Yes, you're a teenager until you are 20. That is how counting works.

[dihydrogenmonoxide]

your body, yes, but you have rights that teenagers don't have and you can be tried as an adult.

[HESaREALnowhereMAN]

You are technically a teenager until you are 20 or over.

[BoudyRizk]

where does the world teenager come from:
teen ager
eighteen
nineteen
both end with teen

so 18 and 19 are still teenagers

[_Shakirah]

It depends how u mature as a 18 year old or 19 year old

Haha hey, enjoy those teenage years while you can.

Technically, no. Numerically, yes.
