    13 … 14 … 15 … 16 … 17 … 18 … 19

    Pretty sure that you’re a teenager for seven years, not five.

      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.

      Most human artistic output isn’t about or geared towards dogs tho (sadly).

    I’m gonna have to disagree with you here. 18- and 19-year-olds are still teens. say what you will about being adults, but semantically (if nothing else) they are still teens.

    The amount of people younger than you is ever growing, and the amount of people older than you is shrinking.

      This is what makes experienced history so extremely short.

      In general, people have a somewhat ok understanding of how their grandparents lived, and they might know a few stories about their great-grandparents, maybe one more generation after that, but that where it ends and where history books with dates and numbers begin.

      That’s where you get statements like “In the past people did/believed/were like/… X” from. No, your grandparents did/believed/were like/… X, not all people in the past.

        There is just about zero chance that those changes would filter down to the masses, so hopefully that doesn’t happen. I don’t want billionaires to live forever, that would be some real life vampire shit.

    but also not at once, the youngest are influenced by those older than them, and in tuen influence yet new teens. Its causes an endless shift of culture.
