They still to grow them.
 
And obviously you’re taking the phrase to “Mature the fuck up” too literally.

@AaronMk  
ummmm boys dont ‘‘grow balls’’ during puberty…. were born with them… and they most certainly drop way before then.

@Rainbow Dash
 
I’m pretty sure any translation of the term “Adolescent” applies across any boundary. Teen/teenage is a more layman’s terms, where as you see adolescence being used in a more medical or legal setting describing youths between the ages of 13-18.
 
The term adolescence itself entering western European lingo in some or any form from Latin “adolescere” meaning “To Grow Up”. This stage in the biological, cultural, and psychological sense most often coming on in the teen years marking notable shifts from being a “kid” to being an “adult”: ie you grow hairs and tits/balls.
 
Society across all cultures has as well puts a number of responsibilities on an individual going through such phases, but without the seriousness applied as being an adult (or “At the age of majority” in law).
 
So no, though French, German, or Arabic may not use “-teen” as an affix (Though I suppose the Germans could use -zig/-zein [I can never remember which] and Arabs some form of “shaar”, but we’ll need a representative of this language to confirm), there is still “adolescent” to take over from there.
 
Thank you.

and someone sure is an enlightened kid….  
also what about any other country that doenst speak english….. kind of hard to have ‘‘13-19 teenagers’’ if you dont have any numbers that say it :P

@Rainbow Dash

@And Brother I Hurt People  
no dude….. they call them teenagers because thirTEEN fourTEEN fifTEEN sixTEEN sevenTEEN eighTEEN nineTEEN as in their age number contains TEEN in it!  
their still kids… just like when you hit 18 and 19 your an ‘‘adult’’ but are still a ‘‘teenager’’ its not rocket science….

@Rainbow Dash
 
Not really. That’s why we have a separate name for it in the first place.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
buuuuuuut there still kids so yeah

@And Brother I Hurt People
 
Which totally isn’t exclusive to anyone in the 18-19 year range either.

@Rainbow Dash
 
There’s a neat concept called teenagers.

@AaronMk  
still just a filly just like a 17 year old is still just a kid…….

The proportions don’t look so filly-like…
 
Tween/teen Dash?

I can’t say no to that face…
