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

Culturally they're in a transitory stage. Legally adults, but they're new to it and it's frowned upon to sexually pursue them if you're much older because they're new to adulthood

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.

Teenager's brains aren't fully developed yet, either.

Both mothers and babies have worse outcomes overall when the mothers are teenagers. It's more dangerous.
