Acting like a typical teenager.

I'm sorry my son forgot to text you until late last night. We reminded him, but you know, typical teen-ness."

closet teen

A person - especially male - who is beyond their teen/college years in age yet still has the mindset and interests of a teenager, but who must pass themselves off as a mature, responsible person in order to fit into society.

The reason weed and boobs have the most slang terms for them is because the people who mostly come up with slang terms are teenage boys and closet teens.

Pre-teen

A person between the ages of 9 and 11, especially at 10 sometimes. It can start as early age as 8.

Me: "I can't believe I'm a pre-teenager/pre-teen, 11 is the last year of pre-teen."
Mum: "Getting a big boy/girl now!"

Teen riots

Boys and Girls next door so full of angst.

Don't call him/her a boy/girl next door to his/her face, you will cause teen riots that way.

teen brain

Teen brains are the kind of brain that you once had during the onset of puberty until as late as your 20th birthday. This kind of brain makes the newly sexually active teen seek emotionally charged activities, thus increasing risk-taking behavior. Furthermore, MRI devices has also revealed that while the adults were using their prefrontal cortex to understand the expressions, teens were using their amygdala. The amygdala is responsible for inducing emotions and impulses, not logic and rational reasoning. In conclusion, while it is true that the size of our brains doesn’t change much beyond our 6th birthday, its under-the-hood workings are not done developing until the age of 25.

During my teen years, my brain was all about impulse and emotion; I often made decisions based on how I felt instead of thinking them through—classic teen brain behavior!
