teenagers

English isn't my first language nor am I from Western country, so a question: 18 and 19 are also teenagers?

    They're considered "teens" both linguistically and culturally?

    Yes. 18 year olds are technically adults in the US, but that doesn’t mean their bodies can support and birth babies as well as when they’re older.

    I think they are restricted in that regard biologically way less than psychologically.
