What age is a teen?

In: Children and the Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

The teen years are usually described by the physical ages of a person beginning at 13 and ending at 19. However, many people behave like a teenager both before and after these physical years.

A 'teen' is not a legal term. You're talking about adult age vs. minor age. Most states recognize 18 to be the legal age for an adult.
