Someone who is treated like a second-class citizen because they "ungrateful, good-for-nothing, know-it-all's". Because they "Don't realise how good they've really got it". They are ignored and nagged and expected to do every an adult asks without question, as if we are slaves, because we don't have a job amd so clearly don't work. Oh, working your ass off at school, then coming home and doing homework (a huge essay that will take up your entire evening) doesn't count as work, according to adults.
Adult: Don't you give me that attitude missy!
Teenager: genuinely confused what attitude?
Adult: THAT attitude!
Teenager: exasperated...o-k-a-y...
Adult: Don't you be all sarcastic with ME!
Teenager: sigh

Also known as "teen" which is short for the term "Teenager."
A human being from the ages 13-19, in which the human body goes through puberty and starts maturing, (even though teenagers stereotypically don't act mature). Also known as the "adolescent." In the teen years, humans are driven crazy by hormones and females start becoming able to produce babies, and males produce sperm. This is the stage in which the humans(both female and male)become horniest.
Females are known to become bitchy and moody and males are known to become extremily horny.
The teen years are also when the human starts to discover their indivuality, though they are slowed down by the desire to "fit in," and/or be "cool." What is considered cool among teenagers has slightly changed over the years, though it pretty much stays the same.
A teen's guide on how to be considered "cool:"
1) REBEL. (Do whatever your parents tell you NOT to do, {or what your parents already do if they don't disipline you enough}and Forget the rules!!! This includes doing drugs, taking part in sexual activites, binge drinking, sneaking out of the house, or anything else one can think of, that is illegal or completely stupid/unsafe.)
2. DRESS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. (--Even though a lot of teens argue that they dress like individuals, it's all pretty much the same.--In today's standards, that means that all girls must dress like whores, and boys must either dress like their clothes are too big for them {which explains the baggy pants that is falling off their butt,} or dress whichever way is considered "manly." This also means boys can't wear "whitey-tighties" if they want, even though it offers them support.)
3. LISTEN TO THE RIGHT MUSIC. (This means the teenager must listen to all the explicit music about all the "cool" things, like drugs and sex. Some even listen to music about suicide, drugs and sex.)
4. BULLSHIT YOUR GRADES. (This means only fake all your schoolwork, or don't do it at all, because if you actually try to learn, you will be a nerd/geek with no life, and that isn't cool. Being intelligent is so not cool!)
5. HANG OUT WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE. (In the world of the adolescent, there are many labels. Rule of thumb is that you hang out with teens of your label {Or, if you're a wannabe, you hang out with people who are "cool" only.} This means that emo kids only hang out with emo kids, punks only with punks, goths only with goths, {though these three can sometimes mesh together}; Preps only with preps, ghetto kids only with other ghetto kids, and Geeks, nerds, and rejects/losers can hangout with eachother, because no one likes them anyway, so they can mesh together and be uncool together.)
6. HATE YOUR PARENTS. (Just hate them, because they make your life miserable. Or, if you are one of those who have "cool" parents, who let you do whatever you want, then you are blessed, and this rule doesn't apply to you.)
7. NEVER LISTEN TO ELDERS. (Forget about adult advice. They were NEVER your age! Don't listen to their crap about avoiding mistakes. They just don't understand. No one, except for fellow teenagers, understands what it's like to be a teenager.)
8. NEVER BE GRATEFUL. (Even though the modern day teen is spoiled and has nothing to complain about, don't be thankful, because life as a teenager sucks anyway.)
Follow these 8 simple rules and you're on your way to become the coolest stereotypical teen ever!
Not all teens out there follow these rules. Teens vary in personality. Sadly though, the majority of them fall into the stereotype one way or another.
Unfortunately, all human beings go through the stage of being a teen/teenager/adolescent. Some don't stop being teens, while others grow up, have kids, and forget what it's like being a teenager, denying any of the mistakes they made while they were an awkward teen. Some even manage to raise more teens.
Teen a: iTs cOoL tO tYpE lIkE tHiS!
Teen b: I'm pregnate with my bbfs baby! we were on drugs and then it sorta happned like omg lol
Teen c: LIKE OMG! I love the mall and hanging out with all muh girlz. I LOVE YOU GUYS! XOXOX BFFS FOR LIFE!
teen d: girls are only good for sex. life is only good for sex
teen e: that is so uncool.
teen f: I hate my life.
Here's to all the smarter, uncool teenagers other there, who might be reading this!
And Here's to all the parents out there, who in spite of all the stupidness of the teenager, still give their support.

A young person who should not be treated like a stereotype, a child, or an adult, because he or she is neither. Instead, a person should treat a teenager like they have no idea what the word 'teenager' means or implies and thereby approach them with no preconceptions at all, basing their interaction on how said teenager acts or reacts. Never treat more than one teenager in the same way because they are all teenagers and thereby predictable. Teenagers are nothing more than people and should be treated as such; hence, individuals whom you could stand to learn more about before judging.
A woman walks in on her husband playing a video game to cool off after a long day at work. "Stop being such a teenager!" she yells.

Someone who psychologically toes the line between childhood and adulthood. This usually begins at the age 13 and ends at 18, but it can sometimes start early and end late, and vice versa.

Often want to belong somewhere, or to something at any rate. Most, I admit, are grumpy, rebellious, lo-life. But some are GREEEAATTT!
But please, please, listen to them! They often have a lot of very interesting things to say and are lovely peeps :).
Most definitions are extremely biased, and very hypocritical. They describe teenagers as grumpy, whinging kids. But if you say that, it's something along the lines of: Pot calling the kettle black ;)
No example is necessary as teenagers vary in music taste, clothes taste and opinions

The age at which we start to leave childhood and realize that life isn't fair and shit happens.
Often times, teenagers learn a lot, and begin to realize they know a few things, so their parents think believe that teenagers truly think they know absolutely everything.
Oh, and whenever a problem happens, teenagers will most certainly rather blame somebody else for it than themself.
