I have to agree with hypno 100%. ANYONE not involved with the porn industry does not consider teens as 18 and 19 year olds.
I believe most people would consider teens as the category below adults. So that 18 and 19 would not even be considered as teens by most people.
When people talk about the problems teens face today - what are they talking about? 18 and 19 year old? No, of course not - they are talking about kids in highschool. Some of them may be 18, but MOST are not.
Just cause it says "teen" in the number does not mean that is what is being thought of.
Young teens could mean the young part of the 13 - 19 scale, but it also could mean young + teen.
Either way I do not think it matters - using the word "teens" is really not much better. I use it, and am not saying it shouldn't be used, but come on - get real.
