A teenager is a person whose age is a number ending in "-teen" in the English language: that is to say, someone from the age of thirteen to the age of nineteen.
During this period of life, most children go through the stages of puberty, although it often begins before a person has entered the teens. Most cultures regard people to have become adults at various ages of the teenage years.
The word is of recent origin, only having appeared in the mid 20th century.
