Is a 24-year-old a teenager? Some researchers say yes.

, traditionally defined as the ages from 10 to 19, all the way up until a person is 24 years old. That’s right, in the future, people might still be called teenagers even though the wordThis idea of extending adolescence isn’t exactly new, though. In September of last year, a review published in scientific journalfound that teenagers today were engaged in considerably less “adult” activities than teenagers in the ’90s.

For instance, 1 in 4 high school students don’t have a license by the time they graduate, in comparison with baby boomers, who on the other hand, were mostly driving by the spring of their senior year. To the delight of parents everywhere, teens today are also having less sex than Generation Xersare going out much less—12th graders today are out of the house far less than eighth graders were in the ’90s. In other words, 18 looks like the new 13.

Several studies have pinpointed to a number of factors that have contributed to this failure to launch into adulthood from the generation that has been called everything from “the Founders” to “iGen” to.” For one, the recession and struggling economy has led college graduates straddled with debt to defer major adult decisions such as buying a house, and has even forced many of them to move back into their parents’ homes.

But the one element most researchers seem to agree on as a major cause in this delay in development is the rise of

Anybody who thinks a person above the age of 19 is still a teenager is retarded. Period.

Oh...FFS...

Just like my co worker 'Chin' 24 & still. She looks like Wynona & Phoebe Cates

No i think the teens are from 11 to 19

No, thirTEEN to nineTEEN are your teenage years. Big clue is in the FUCKING NAME 😒😒

Ballentines__

I am still a baby let alone a teen

This is nothing but a new to lock up grow men and put them in prison. For having sex with someone That is 24 years old who will now be considered as a teenager. Tell me what type of shit is this. The world is really moving backwards with this shit.

No

JENNIWOWW 😂

Not exactly

Apparently the brain isn't fully developed until 25 so I see what they're trying to say

Maybe because they just evaluated like 5 Karen's, 4 Helen's, and a couple of Donna's and some other blonde haired girls. (Jk)

Please research your article better so you stop spreading misinformation. Thanks!

this world 🤣🤣🤣🤪😌what is happening. Well if this the case u best start military pt at school coz draft age is 16 -18 so if we ever go war they best grow up fast. They need a wake up call.

Ummmmm no!

yeah sure

Ona mubarak ith basha duryousafzai

jessc_sux big news we can still call ourselves teenage hooligans

TheBrookeAsh Some researchers are dumb

? This twenty-four yr old is not included 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️ but the struggle is real. I pay bills.... 🥴

Really? And then I still teenager..

18EmaM 😂😂😂

Being that frontal lobe isn’t fully developed until 25 I think they may be on to something.

Some has the mind of a teenager.

No.

Good article until the last 2 paragraphs. Maybe instead of helicopter parenting, every kid gets a ribbon, sex is bad so here’s porn, kid cries so hand them a mobile device... teach your child the skills they need to thrive in this world. Put down the screens & pick up some life.

No

Hell no!! I was put tf out!!🤣🤣🤣

Is a car a house ?

No! Wtf?

Just cause one does Not act like an adult does not mean they are not an adult. Heck, with their “research”, why stop at 25? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Hell no. I worked hard to get thru those awful teenage years I aM an ADULT

To the girls who think they're still teenagers at 24. Your life must be so easy to live.

Why else do you think they're immediately picked by talent hunters? Your guess is as good n fair as moi.

No she's not and neither solid enough to rely on. They're halfway there and halfway through oblivion. As the adage goes half-baked.

It should be more like as young as teenagers ..🤔

At 24, you’re no longer a teenager simply because you’re not a teen. Your age dictates that you’re not. Surely there are some 30-40-50 year olds that aren’t emotionally mature either and there are some teens who are moreso. Doesn’t excuse the responsibility that you must accept.

No. They are not. Move along.

Noooo How can someone above 19years be a teenager?

Twentyfourteen will do

Yeah to be honest, your not really a full adult when your 24, I mean I’m 22 and still feel and look like a teenager but I’m more mature then a 16 year old. I know 29 year olds who still act, look, and dress like a teenager, but also it depends on the person and there traits

Fail at life

Arabianoudnyc

Omg stop coddling people!

Interesting!

this “study” is based on circumstances, not biological science

Hell no

Illogical. Teen 13-19.

I like the concept for the photo

.. What

Absolutely and the way young males think and act... for them it should be 30!

I like this pic,Natalia Vodianova and the color of her dress😍

teenager, no; adolescent, potentially due to brain development

by my experience YESSSS or else i need to do some serious life changes.

no no no!

drenukmata 😮

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Oh I wish I was a model 🥺 this pic is amazing

NO.

Nowadays even 50yos can behave like teenagers especially after their third pint.

Cool. So it will be illegal for them to drink, join armed forces, smoking, etc.. If a 24 yr old gets arrested, do they go in Juvie Hall? Will a 23 yr old murderer not be charged as an adult. Leave shit alone.

They should take it all the way up to 33, I wanna be teen again

This is ridiculous.

No

Can 31 be a teenager, that would really work out for me

No, when i was younger...24 was considered Adult.

If that's the case mankind will perish by the end of the century !

This is why intellectuals don’t read vogue.

No.

No

Literally, no.

Dahh... I think we all are teenagers

JoelleMonique The jabs at the young just don't stop eh? Smart phones, not the fact that teens are afraid of mass shootings and sexual assault. Calling a Lyft is easier than PAYING FOR A CAR and most parents are too busy or judgmental to teach driving. Get with reality.

JoelleMonique Oh ffs

Agreed a lot!

No

No. They are either WITs (Women In Training) or MITs (Men In Training).

😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I had 2 kids, a car payment, and mortgage when I was 24 six years ago lol

This is not a math researcher, is it?

First of all, VOGUE, this article was written in 2018. PLUS it has super bad stats. Anyone with eyes can see that it’s not what it says it is.

No. Teenager is a young person from 13 to 19 years old.

No

Props to the online producer who picked this photo. 💯

This is stupid, completely ridiculous and unfounded where did they find these teens at This is not based in reality at all

Well yeah... 👌

Yes, please 😂

NO

Rolling my eyes. Smh.

Cc Jesse Lingard

It's not twenty something teen, you get from 13-19. Just because there's more people who dont want to grow doesn't mean they should get more fuel not to. Yes it's time for 'adulting'(hate that term), put more simply ' grow the fuck up already'.

what about 43

Age is fluid -

That would bring the minimum voting age up to 24... I’m listening...

I’m 23 and work 3 giant marketing projects in healthcare and live on my own ... I know other 23 year olds who party all day long and do nothing so it’s really debatable

twenteenager

Sounds like we should raise the voting age and maybe have a college loan jubilee.

No.

So words just don't mean anything anymore.

RealAlisonPoole That's not how it works.

With 25 the skin aging starts thus you’re a teenager until 24

No

No...hence the last number for a teenager is 19. At 24 I was raising a son, going to school and working at a big 8 firm. Maybe 24 is not totally mature yet but definitely not a child.

Well what I know little bit teenager are with all teen in their age numbers practically from 13 to 19, though adult age quality at 18 so after 18 considered as adults.

It's frame of mind.

Researcher waisting the time and resources.

If that’s the case you shouldn’t be allowed to vote unless you’re an adult making adult decisions lol

Facts BiggFacts

thirTEEN to nineTEEN. Headass

that's because of this show

So having sex with a 24 year old is pedophilia?

No

Faisalabughazal yala enbaset we're not adults

I’m 24 and I feel like a teenager sometimes

What BS is this If your age doesn't end with a 'teen' you are not a TEENager. This is not a hard concept to grasp.

I don't understand because I have been on my own since I was 18

What in the world...what now will the come up with..? What I real news lots of people out there look young for their age ..

Is not 24 the last teen age? At 25 we become literally adults.
