Teenagers, the transitional stage of development between childhood and adulthood, represents the period of time during which a person experiences a variety of biological changes and encounters a number of emotional issues. The ages which are considered to be part of teenagers vary by culture, and ranges from preteens to nineteen years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), teenagers covers the period of life between 10 and 20 years of age. It is often divided by psychologists into three distinct phases: early, mid and late adolescence.
Teenagers is the period of time during which a person is biologically (physically) adult but emotionally (feelings) not at full maturity."Adolescence" is cultural and so does not refer to a fixed time period. The word comes from the Latin verb adolescere meaning "to grow up." During this time, a person's body, emotions and academic standing change a lot.
During this period of life, most children go through the physical stages of puberty, which often begin before a person has reached the age of 13. Most cultures think of people as becoming adults at various ages of the teenage years.
