1) A pre-teen, or an almost teen/almost teenager is a child (primarily female) who is between the ages of 9 and 12 (Although can also include an immature 13 year old). These childern like to pretend they are teenagers and thus, they try to act "cool."
2) A preteen girl is usually obsessed with glitter in all forms, which is then smeared on thier faces, in an attempt to look "cool" or "older." Usually makes them look stupid and/or like child prostitutes.
3) Preteens often latch on to the current trend (thus making it uncool), like iPods.
4) Preteens often travel in groups of 4 - 5, screaming thier heads off at the stupidest things.
1) My nine year old sister considers herself a preteen, and insists on carrying her neon pink purse everywhere.

2) The girl had so much glitter on, I honestly thought she was a hoe!

3) The 10 year old yelled and begged until he got an iPod. She then uploaded her two Backstreet Boys albums, and promptly broke it after listening to "I Want it That Way"

4) The group of preteens screamed uncontroably as one did something stupid.

Get the preteen mug.
A person who is between the ages on 10-12, or more broadly 8-13.
Common steriotypes of this age range are
1.dumb, stupid,immature shitheads that only cause problems (mostly males)
2.loud children with no sort of respect that follow trends until they die out (mostly females)
3.teen wannabees
4.constantly using annoying terms such as "OMG" "LOL" "TTYL" THX" in loud high pitched voices (mostly female)
5.Not having proper grammar

In all reality they are normal everyday people just like you and me, most do not fit the steriotype and should be treated as normal humans, this was written out by a pre-teen, I am not ashamed of that, mybe treat us as normal humans, I do not go calling out the rude and hurtful steriotypes of your guys age's

(Please note that this is an age bracket and can change based upon society)
Person 1. look there are some pre-teen boys, lets see what dumb thing they do
Person 2. there age range does not mean they are like that, that is a steriotype that could actually be hurtful

Teenager 1. did someone just shout "OMG", probably a preteen
Teenager 2. it was actually a tik tok "Infulencer" older then us, my sis is a preteen and she does not say that, maybe remember that that is a stupid steriotype

A person under the age of 12, the word is usually included in the titles of pedophiliac erotica (videos, stories, pictures, etc.), possibly to be enticing?

Sickining. I feel bad for them.
I will find who is posting as me and devour their entrails. Seriously.

preteen usually means. before you actually hit your teens or before you hit puberty. so 9-12 . but includes thirteen year olds as well.
it consists acting older then your age. therefore drinking. going out to party's. smoking weed. doing drugs. and so on.
for example .

not being mature about there age. thirteen year old preteens.

a group of thirteen year olds, decide to go out to a party. or down to the main road for the night. they see some good looking guys. which are a few years older themselves. have a good night whilst drinking. possibly smoking. doing shit with these older guys they have met. so acting older then there age.

but when you actually think of the word preteen it really only means from the age of 9-12 but as i said above immature thirteen year olds also fit into this category.

immature thirteen year olds. are also guys or girls (mainly girls) that found it amusing to call people older themselves preteens. by using the preteen writing most preteens use.

for example ... lyk t0t$ b3bbz.. <3 <-- does my head in
