Before adult, after child.
At eighteen and nineteen, even if there's the word TEEN in the number, you're an adult, not teen.
Look at the definiton of adult, 18+.
It wouldn't make sense to be both an adult and teen.
Also, "adult" movies are always 18+.
You'll often hear "A TWENTY year old TEEN got caught in an accident..." in the news, but they just want to sound clever. (it actually fails, because no one looks clever by calling a twenty year old adult "teen")

People aged between 13 and 19 (some people seem to think its more, frankly, their stupid, American or French) Also there seem to be an endless suplie of teens for porn. V. strange as that would only included 18 and 19 year olds! :-S

The years between roughly 13-18. Most go through a natural rebelious phase and are pressured to make a hecca lot of decisions. I am ialmost/i a teen. :)

any person age 13 or over - around 20. So basically high school. these days, they are very material and cover up their real emotions. these people are into dating and care about how they dress. they are too old for disney channel, but too busy to watch the news. life is hard. they are still figuring things out.
Teen: wow. great. still not caring.
Tween: like OMg I CannOT believe This is happening to me!!!! the world must like hate me or something! :(
Adult: Oh dear! I will take action on this right away!

Along with IKEA and ABBA, one of Sweden's greatest exports. First gained popularity in the US covering ABBA's music and with their music videos on the Disney Channel. Made up of two males (Dhani Lennevald and Amit Sebastian Paul) and two females (Marie Serneholt and Sara Lumholdt), the group is a favorite of Tween BFFs. Correctly spelled WITH the hyphen.
