1. teenager

   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 teenager in a Sentence

1. Jeffrey Ortega:

   Five years ago, we asked doctors if amputation would be possible, i was ready for the surgery but then met someone else who had their foot amputated, and it scared me seeing them walking on their knees. I was a scared teenager, but last year I brought it up to doctors again.

2. Jurnee Thompson:

   When a grown person or a teenager murders your 8-year-old child and you don't come forward, it's heart breaking.

3. Karma Quick-Panwala:

   That, as a teenager, this is what [ Isabella ] chose to focus on -- to facilitate our need for access and help the deaf community be able to communicate in this time -- I'm so grateful that her interest in this area led her to do this.

4. Justis Henderson:

   I think it's a great experience, and I think any teenager like me should get interested in something they love to do and make a career out of it.

5. Hilary Duff:

   Was incredibly excited to launch' Instagram Lizzie McGuire' on D + and my passion remains ! However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans' relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in Instagram Lizzie McGuire, i'd be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old's journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating. It's important to me that just as her experiences as a preteen/teenager navigating life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable. It would be a dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again.
