A made-up age group, ranging from about 8 to early teens, used by parents to justify why they are allowing their prepubescent daughters to dress and behave like sluts.
*: "Why is your nine-year-old wearing a midriff top, low-rise jeans, and eight pounds of eyeshadow and lipstick?"

Girl's mother: (taking a long drink of boxed wine and shrugging) "Why not? She's a tween!"

*: "She also has a tramp stamp."

Girl's mother: "I believe I just said she was a tween."

*: "I think she's sexting a college student."

Girl's mother: "TWEEN!"

The name of a certain age group, usually between the ages of 9-14. "Tween" is another word for "Pre-teen", and is a modern word used commonly these days. Tweens are the age group in between 'children' and 'teenagers'.

Negative definition:
Depending on the maturity, tweens are usually 9-14 years of age. It is the hardest stage of life. These days, tweens try to fit in with the crowd, and keep up with things such as clothes and electronics, dramatically. They try to act mature, even though what they are doing is not mature at all. People in this age group who actually act like themselves are the cool ones, and shouldn't be known as a tween, but instead a pre-teen.

Tweens:
1. Watch Disney Channel;
2. Like retarded famous people, such as: Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, etc;
3. Buy their clothes from Supre, and buy their jewellery from Diva;
4. Play netball, basketball, or in some countries: cheerleading;
5. Have iPods and all of the up-to-date songs (no matter how much the songs don't suit the person);
6. (Australian tweens) have slight American accents;
7. Go on MSN instead of Facebook;
8. Must talk to friends on MSN instead of ringing them up.
1. Jodi: I hate my little sister Jordana. I was in the middle of watching Family Guy, then I left the room to get myself more salad when the commercials started. Then she entered the house with 3 of her bitchy friends. When I got back to the lounge room they had changed it to Disney Channel and were watching the retarded show Sonny With A Chance. She just has to watch it 24/7.
Rockford: What a tween she is.

2. Tweens on MSN:

The deference between a preteen and a tween:

Preteen: Someone between the ages of 10 and 13. Simple as that

Tween: Someone between the ages of 8 and 14/15, who in general:
Regularly watches disney channel
Need to follow the lastest trends
Almost exclusevely listens to pop
Omg Tpye LIK DIS !!! <3
THIS IS THE REGULAR FOR MOST, THEY MAY FOLLOW ALL OR JUST SOME

Not all people in this age group are tweens, and it is extremely insulting to call someone(especially 14 or 15 year old) a tween or preteen if/when they are
not.
Shara the disney channel lover: Perry...your 14...your a preteen and a tween!!!!!

Me(someone who does not have any of the above listed typicals of a tween): First of all, I am a teenager....second of all..how dare you call me a tween!

Usually, a girl, aged 9-12. And, contrary to popular beliefs, not all tweens are annoying, bossy, moody, and dumb!

THOSE ARE JUST STEREOTYPES!!!!!!
STEREOTYPING IS WRONG!!!!!
Tween 1: Hey Jessica, wanna go to the mall later?
Tween 2: Hold on, I'll ask my mom
Tween 1: What did she say?
Tween 2: she said yes!😀

An awkward mix of a child and a teen. Most tweens start dating as soon as possible. Tweens try to be real cool. Tweens still don’t understand life. Tweens learn what sports they are good at. Tweens have learned what music they like and don’t like. Tweens are best age group to be in, even though it gets crazy.
Shes so weird, probably cuz shes a tween.

I used to think it was a fusion between teen and weenie, but haven't seen that around anywhere else. They tend to listen to Hannah Montana and the Jonas brothers, also watch Disney all day long. Tend to begin to take on the unruly attitudes that Disney whores display to their mothers in the show. Generally 10-15.
Mum: Come on Sarah, if you do your homework I'll get you the new Jonas brothers album.

Sarah: Fuck you bitch im teleporting my hot underage ass out of here, wizards of Waverley place for the world muthafucka! viva la tweeness!

Tweens are girls between the age of 9-12 who wear slutty clothes, wear a ridiculous amount of make-up, watch Disney channel, listen to bubblegum pop like One Direction, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and need to get a dictionary thrown at them. They try to act all grown up when their not. I was walking down my street when a group of girls my age were walking by talking obnoxiously loud about their "boyfriends". In reality what probably happened was the guy or the girl "asked their crush out"(everyone knows about it soon) and started walking around the field together claiming their "dating" when they have never even been on a date. The "relationship" barely last a day. Not all 9-12 years olds are like that( I'm twelve). I find people who are like that just annoying therefore I try to stay away from them. I don't wear make-up at all or wear revealing clothing.
Tween 1: omg did u hear jake asked carly out yesterday, there lik tots adorable.
Tween 2: ikr bt ill lok much beter wit him

Tween 3: kenzie said i was a slut. am i a slut? *is wearing a crop top with booty shorts. Also has her faced caked in make-up*
