What age do teenage years start at ?

[JaneCassidy]

Me and my hubby are in an argument to what age you are a teenager at ? He says 11 and I say 13? What age is it

13
But with dd it was 10! 🤣

13. End of.

Thirteen. Eleven and even twelve done end in 'teen'

Urm 13. By definition it's the years that end in -teen.

Teenage from 13-19 inclusive.

Teenage behaviour though can start whenever!

If you are talking about typical teenage behaviour, then anywhere from 8 upwards if they start puberty early.

If you mean when is a DC a teenager then it is obviously 13 - 19.

My DS on the other hand gets called a twenty oneteen by his 13 year old DSis, and I'm not sure she is wrong.

13, but is he British? Some other cultures have a different perception. For example in Germany it's considered to be 10 that you are no longer "Kinder" but "Jungend". Jungend translates as youth but the more typical translation is teenager.

ThirTEEN. Clue is in the name

Behaviourally I'd say 12.
German children move to secondary school at 10 - prob why you're a youth at that age. They also encourage more independence in children than we do in the UK.

Eleventeen? It doesn't exist. Teens start at 13. Behaviour anytime from 9 - 15 ime.

Oops, I mean Jugend. And apparently legally it's 14. But 10 is often a cut off for things and colloquially it's used as a barrier at least where I am.

13 because it ends in teen but 11 year olds in secondary are very similar to 13 yo.

13. 12 is a Tweenager

you're only a teenager if your age ends in teen. How odd of your DP to think that 11 and 12 years olds are teenagers.

13 - but the behaviour starts at around 10/11 IME
