A young person who should not be treated like a stereotype, a child, or an adult, because he or she is neither. Instead, a person should treat a teenager like they have no idea what the word 'teenager' means or implies and thereby approach them with no preconceptions at all, basing their interaction on how said teenager acts or reacts. Never treat more than one teenager in the same way because they are all teenagers and thereby predictable. Teenagers are nothing more than people and should be treated as such; hence, individuals whom you could stand to learn more about before judging.
A woman walks in on her husband playing a video game to cool off after a long day at work. "Stop being such a teenager!" she yells.

Someone who psychologically toes the line between childhood and adulthood. This usually begins at the age 13 and ends at 18, but it can sometimes start early and end late, and vice versa.
Claudia: But, Sean, we need someone to watch the boys!
Jimmy: Look, it's not THE boys, all right?! It's A boy, and a TEENAGER!

Often want to belong somewhere, or to something at any rate. Most, I admit, are grumpy, rebellious, lo-life. But some are GREEEAATTT!
But please, please, listen to them! They often have a lot of very interesting things to say and are lovely peeps :).
Most definitions are extremely biased, and very hypocritical. They describe teenagers as grumpy, whinging kids. But if you say that, it's something along the lines of: Pot calling the kettle black ;)

The age at which we start to leave childhood and realize that life isn't fair and shit happens.
Often times, teenagers learn a lot, and begin to realize they know a few things, so their parents think believe that teenagers truly think they know absolutely everything.
Oh, and whenever a problem happens, teenagers will most certainly rather blame somebody else for it than themself.

Teenagers on twitter:
A: Uhg I can't believe my mom took my cellphone she hates me so much.
B: It's so cold outside
C: Why are all my teachers so annoying?
D: I wish I had somebody to cuddle with but nobody likes me

Someone who is confused 24/7, has no idea what s/he wants to do with his/her life, is probably doing something really stupid right now because of their confusion, is ungrateful, moody, self-centered, and is either really self-conscious or really arrogant. Teenagers are confused because they question everything the see or hear, and they can't figure out what to believe, and what’s wrong or right. Some ways that adults can help teenagers through this rough time is 1) remembering what it felt like to be a teenager and relating their experiences to that of the teenager, 2) listening to what the teenager has to say instead of figuring that their opinions aren't valid, 3) letting them know that the adult cares about them and that the adult would do anything to make their hardships disappear, and, 4) by being as understanding as possible, no matter how ungrateful, stupid, and self-centered the teenager acts. Some ways that a teenager can be healthy and happy is 1) just being YOURSELF; stop acting the way “everyone else” is and do things because you think they are the right thing to do, not because somebody else said they are the right thing to do, 2) by mentally saying “Fuck you” to whoever steps on you and tries to tell you that you are worthless, and just moving on, 3) by being practical and not so impulsive, and keeping in mind that its normal to have intense sexual desire and intense confusion, and that acting on pure impulses is self-destructive and will not necessarily make you happy, 4) by keeping in mind that its OKAY if you don’t know what you want to do with your life right away; it will come naturally, so don’t force it or you will probably get frustrated, 5) by remembering that although many adults will try to manipulate you, that doesn’t mean you can’t trust any of them. Search for the ones you think you can trust, and let them give you advice, and, 6) by not taking life too seriously; laughing often and trying to use your inner wisdom to get you through this hellish thing we call life.
I hope this will help you and that it is somewhat valid; I’m 16 years old, so if you are a teenager, know that we are in this together even though I don’t know you. Peace.
