(noun)
One who thinks they deserve the right to control EVERYTHING there is to control, and usually, in fact most always, results in severe hate by many teenagers everywhere. Mostly practices this believed right on his/her offspring. Does not deserve friends, or a social life.

This definition specifically applies to those who would read it and say to themselves the following thought: "god damn teenagers complain about way too fucking much".

1. The stage after adolescence.

2. Legally, someone who is (usually, depending in what country you live) 18+.

Now, there is a difference between legally and biologically.
At 18, in most country, you are legally an adult.
But, since most people continue to grow in some way at 18, they can't be considered adults physically.

Even if most people at 18 are "physically" teenagers(they continue to grow), you're still considered an adult, but it's not rare that people who are 18-19 are called "teens" (probably because of the number, eighTEEN, nineTEEN)

It is confusing, since at 18-19, you're both an adult(legal) and teenager(physically).

Because of that confusion, people of that age (18-19) are generally called "young adult".
