Would 10 or 11 or more 12? Middle school 6th grade? When is a teen - 13 or older?

DD is newly 11 I swear she acts like a teen where DS is 13 and I feel like younger than a tween!!

Teen is 13 and up. ThirTEEN. Tween is 9-12.

Tween is 9-12. Officially a teen would be 13-19 but I feel like 23-17 is more appropriate. After that you’re a young adult.

Younger siblings are frequently in a hurry to grow up.

Boys mature later. My 14 year old son often seems much younger than my 12 year old daughter.

I think for girls it can be 10-12 and boys more 11-12.

I wouldn’t count 9 as tween, those are 3rd and 4th graders. I think once kids hit 5th grade, those kids are about to turn 11 or already 11, you’ve entered tween territory.

Parents call them tweens when they behave badly. No, they're just being jerks. lol.

Well, I don't really understand this tween thing, I think a kid is a kiid. Tween probably contributes to kids growing up a little faster than they should imo. I think teens are kids too, but atc13 you're technically a teen
Although I think young teens are closer to being kids.

MS aged kids, and that’s really the tween era, are not like little kids at all and I would say they are more similar to teens than they are to an early ES aged kid.
