teenagers when they really mean "young people". For example,
you might read: "This is a club for teenagers from 12 to 16."
Time to get accurate. Someone who is twelve years old is not
a teenager. Someone who is thirTEEN years old *is* a teenager.
How old is a teenager? A TEENager is:
13 thirTEEN
14 fourTEEN

16 sixTEEN
17 sevenTEEN
18 eighTEEN
