    Well, sometimes adults of 18 and 19 are called teens. 16 is definitely mid teens, isn't it? Yes, 14 might be young, so maybe early to mid teens.

    May I ask why it matters?

    I was just trying to narrow down the age range rather than the vague "teens". Also, I wanted to to point out the suspects weren't adults.

    And if I must say, it seems to matter to you since I am being grilled for my choice of words.

    Asking you to clarify a comment is not grilling. It mattered to me because I was trying to figure out where you were going with the "clarification." But I get it. You're a moderator so you can "grill" posters for explanations, links, etc., but get uncomfortable when the tables are turned. I won't bother you again.

    That's how it works, and they don't like it if a peasant starts asking questions.
