  But after 19 teenage pregnancy drops to Zero!

  I wonder how it is in countries that doesn’t have the “teen” in the numbers.

    Most other languages count that group as “youths” and in general you are one from 12-18.

      In Germany you can actually still count as “youth” until you are 27. i know youth organisations that allow members up to 27. And if you committed a crime you can still be tried as a youth, pending a psychological review.

        There’s two terms: “Jugendlicher” and “Jugend-”. “Jugend-” can be used as a prefix for all sorts of things with all sorts of age limits (for example the SPÖ Jugendorganisation goes up to age 45 for some crazy reason). “Jugendlicher” on the other hand is really just used as a term for people until they reach the age of legal adulthood.
