A teen is a person aged 13 - 19, because of the the number ending in "teen", this age group is popularized because coincidentally it is also when the biggest amounts of changes occur in a person.
~
Some people (what I can only speculate as children) ignorantly claim 18/19 year olds are NOT teens, and label them as adults yet fail to acknowledge teen isn't a title, it's an age categorization that's upto a government or a countries legal system to decide what they and what they do not proclaim as adults, some countries chose to label their citizens as adults as early as 15, some as late at 21, In accordance of Jewish law a boy become a man aged 13. WHEN you hit your next decade of life (20+), you're known as a 20-something, before that period, you're a TEEN.

Teen is not a title, it's an age.
SIX-TEEN.
SEVEN-TEEN.
EIGHT-TEEN.
NINE-TEEN.
American: An eighteen year old is not a teenager! It's an adult!
Scottish: Well, in Scotland the age of majority is 16, so you're both an ADULT AND a TEEN, therefore it's an age group, not a title.
Scientist: People in their late teens (17-19), are still biologically adolescent, however lawfully it's for a state to decide at which age their citizens are to be held accountable for their actions and themselves.

A group of people which keeps getting worse as generations go on. This generation's teens listen to pretty crappy music like 50 Cent and Good Charlotte. They also tend to have no minds of their own. They're getting fatter and fatter and fatter... Yeah, there are some decent teenagers... Not enough though.

An age group of people who are very misunderstood. They are young and just want to have fun and live their youth. Yes the make noise and say rude things but let's face it we were all teens once.
They are just crossing the path of becoming an adult and leaving childhood however this may leve some very confushed beacuse they have to be 'mature' yet they are too young yo vote and they have to 'enjoy their youth' yet they are to young to party hard.

Someone between the ages 13 and 19.
3 reasons (but not all) why it's good to be a teen:
1. You're treated almost like royalty considering what your parents have to go through ("the talk," which isn't really needed since most teens know that by then, putting up with all the "phases," being guilted into giving money, etc.)
2. You usually meet your main group of friends in this time of life (the people that you consider your best friends, and hang out with a lot)
3. Too old for Pedobear
3 reasons (but not all) why it's bad to be a teen:
1. You're more vulnerable to peer pressure, which may result in addictions and more
2. Right around now is the time that labels begin to be given to you (maybe even earlier)
3. Now, or earlier, you may have to say goodbye to a few friends that are going to different schools
