How old is a young adult?
I think you're asking what the publishing world sees as young adult. Most houses consider 14 and up as young adult. The content of the book usually determines if a book is a young adult or a middle-grade fiction or whether or not a publishing house can get away with putting a "teen" novel in the middle-grade fiction section and vice versa. Age range determines where the books are shelved in the bookstores and how they are sold, so that's why it's so important to publishers. Such a small thing can do such damage. . . .

Good books for a 17 year old girl?
I don't really read alot of girly books but here are a few that I thought were good. Jodi Picoult has pretty mature books and also include a love story. I love her books! They aren't super girly and are great stories. Her books usually have shocking endings too. My favorites by her are The Pact, The Tenth Circle, and Nineteen Minutes. Sarah Dessen and Susane Colosanti write girly books, mostly teenage love stories. The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is a love story and more of an adult book. Its not one of my favorite books but its not bad.
Is an 11-year-old a kid or a teenager?
Let’s do a quick breakdown of numbers.OneTwoThreeFourFiveSixSevenEightNineTenElevenTwelveThirteenFourteenFifteenSixteenSeventeenEighteenNineteenTwentyNotice the bold parts of some words. The word “teenager” is a term for one with “teen” in their age. Eleven has no “teen” in the age, and is therefore not a teenager.Now that I’m done being sarcastic, in my opinion, someone who is 11 years old tends to be developmentally closer to a younger child rather than a teenager. At most, 11 is about preteen, but that might even be a stretch.
Would you consider a 12-year-old as a teenager?
A 12 year old is a child. 13, is a teenager.Thir-teen.Mind you, 13 is also still a child.
Why do some people consider 12 year olds teenagers?
As you have stated, and earlier answers have already explained, labels mean absolutely nothing.No two kids age 12 are the same - there are kids who drool over cartoons and there are kids who question just how black holes function.My kid, not in that “-teen” area as per label, recently was schooling me on the differences between “mass” and “weight” - she’s a fan of Startalk (podcast) radio headed by Neil deGrasse Tyson (astronomer). Will that “-teen” ending on the age make a kid smarter? Not really, but it would have been really nice if all labels would correspond with what we want them to be.Still, each child is different, my kid gets a kick of me calling her “a teenager” in front of others. I can’t deny this harmless joke - I like it too :)As for the rapid transition from “teenager” (age 18) to “adult” practically overnight, well, I hope you have prepared your child for that - I am already preparing mine. Having a kid be treated “as the age label states” and have the kid basically asking permission to use the restroom on Monday and then expecting them to know how to read a contract (student loans, for example) on Tuesday since they are not a “teen” anymore is as unreasonable as the label itself.
Would you let your 16 year old watch Game of Thrones?
I'm 17, and I can tell you for a fact that every single person I know who is within 5 years of me, older or younger, should be allowed to watch this show. That encompasses everyone from 12 to 23 years of age, but I think it's the 12-17 bracket that's really of concern.Anyway, the vast majority of 12 year olds have seen some kind of porn. Many are frequent watchers. By 13, the shock videos (BME Pain Olympics et al) are starting to make their rounds. By 14, many kids have seen several shock videos (I know all my friends had done thorough tours of BestGore.com by that age). Now, it is very possible that my friends and I were operating on a compressed timeframe, but I can assure you with a pretty high amount of confidence that a 16-year-old has plenty of experience with everything I've mentioned--assuming, of course, that you haven't been nazi-ing his online activity for the his entire life (Which is another, similarly stupid, but separate decisions.)That brings me to my main point: your relationship with your son. As others have said, you will not stop him from watching this show. That's a fact. So you can either continue to try and shut him down, or you can openly allow him to watch whatever he wants. Let's see what happens if you choose the former. First off, he won't do what you want. He's still gonna see the show. But furthermore--and probably more importantly--you'll run the risk of damaging your relationship with your son. Anyway, as I said, I, along with all my friends and millions of other kids, have been extensively exposed to this kind of content. Most of us haven't killed anybody yet, and those of that have didn't do so because of the movies and TV shows we watched. There are many, far better uses of your time than fighting this battle.
