Teenage

Teenage years, teenagehood, teenagers are western concepts. The term or its equivalent does not exist in Asia culture(s) or anywhere else really. You are either old enough or not. In most Asian cultures one can be an adult from 12-14 and official an adult from 15 upwards. Even in Native America, the concept of a "quinceanera".

Teen was original based off of the number 10 (ten). Hence, the numbers ending in -teen are all in tens. Originally people used to say "They are in their tens", just like "twenties, thirties, etc."
In more recent times the teen concept was created by the west, disregarding the original "tens" and replacing it with "teen" (based off the same etymology but definition has changed to refer to numbers ending in -teen).

Get your shit straight. We can say early tens, mid-tens, late tens too. What's wrong with you?

Being teenage is not a teenager, but a tenager

Teenage

In our country we just have male and female/'women and children'

Sometimes 20s-30s ppl are called "youth"

(teenage (contd.))

(this is usually when the parents/family elders marry them off, although this is an increasingly autonomous choice today (especially for the men))

BUT

The pressure to marry and have children before she's 30 is still very much there*

*cz here family, parents (especially mother) and generally anyone older than you (firmly 'boomers' per US age standards)** is given divine worship by everyone (heck, we call even unrelated interactions as 'mom' 'older brother' 'older/younger sister' 'aunty' 'uncle' etc.)

And it's quite a religious worship for a supposedly secular country as 'Bharat "Mata"' ('mother' India)

As a result, we have Third Reich-style 'labour' policy for school, work n everything else in between at ALL ages/stages

Teenage Fever 

A common symptom of “teenage fever” is simply indecisiveness, which leads to hesitation as a person is unsure whether romantic feelings are mutual, due to a lack of experience in the dating game.
