How do you think they grew up as teens in the 2010s similarly? Differently?
Early 2010s teens: 1994-1996
Mid 2010s teens: 1997-2000
Late 2010s teens: 2001-2003

One difference I could think of at the top of my head is that early 2010s teens used Facebook and didn’t have Snapchat. Unlike mid and late 2010s teens who used Instagram during their teen years
They are similar because they both had smartphones and social media was a big part of their adolescence

Those years are a bit off if you ask me, in the mid-2010s I turned 18-19 and I wasn't exactly bothering with teenage stuff anymore.
But it doesn't matter anyway.

The early and late part of the decade have some noticeable differences, mostly the sites (like Facebook being more prevalant instead of things like Musically or whatever) and phones themselves, but otherwise it boils down to the same stuff.
Tried to google "early 2010s teenage pack" and it gives off this image which is a pretty neat representation of the teenage culture of back then (not sure why it is labelled as kid stuff though):

Vine and Snapchat are more mid 2010's than early 2010's.

I was an early 2010s teen being 17-19 in 2010-2012. It was a lot of fun.

Things have not changed much at all in terms of what kids do day to day, it's just that tech has got better. Although I read a study about how teens started going out less in 2012 or thereabouts, but I'm not going to pretend I was a huge socialite in high school lmao (except 2011/2012 because I was in university then and I was very social).

I think the main difference between then is fashion. The fashion then was more closer to the 2000s, now that I look back on it. I loved wearing brands like Aeropostale and American Eagle, the former of which today is bankrupt and the latter is approaching it. I wore a hoodie practically everyday. I liked wearing high top sneakers, usually by Adidas or Nike. They were very colourful back then, we were all about neon. I have orange shoes, neon blue, neon green, purple, red shoes you name it.

To summarize, on a regular day, you could catch me wearing a red Aeropostale hoodie, probably a white V-neck from H&M underneath, blue 27-inch skinny jeans, the skinnier the better really, and my white/blue/red Le Bron Nike's. It wasn't this exact one, mine wasn't nearly as sportsy looking but it was close.

I didn't have long Justin Bieber hair despite the stereotype of early '10s teens lol. Most of us thought he looked completely ridiculous, very pre-pubescent. I had a crew cut myself, although I know many who had longer hair.

You don't see kids dressing like that anymore. It was a casual/colourful look.

I don't really see a difference tbh. We're all the same

For us late 2010s teens the only difference for us is Snapchat,Instagram games teens now play are Fortnite which definitely popular right now also fidget spinners is mostly what every teen had in 2017 most teens now have consoles which include the Nintendo Switch,Xbox One x and PS4 Pro which all came out last year so that's mostly a difference from Early and Mid 2010s teens.

Late 2010s teens should  be 2003-2004.(2005 also since they turn 13 this year)

Calm down there, we're not even halfway through them yet. ;D

Technically speaking, since the late 2010's started on September 1st, 2016 and end on December 31st, 2019, the day when it's May 2nd, 2018, we will be exactly in the middle of the late 2010's.

1994-1997 babies spent most (not all) of their teen years in the early 2010s.

I feel like 1995 borns are the quintessential early 2010's teen, 1999 borns being the quintessential mid-2010's teens, and 2002 borns being the quintessential late 2010's teens.

1997ers turn 21 in the late 2010s (2017) also they turn 13 in 2010 which makes them a early 2010s teen. Also 2004ers spend most of their teen years in the late 2010s also ranging from 13-15

Yeah, and it'd only be two months after on July 2nd, 2018 if you start it the first day of 2017, so we're very close either way.

1994 babies spend none of their teen years in the mid-2010s, considering that period starts in 2014 and they turned 20 that year.

Teen years peak at 16.5

Which means those born on Jun 30/Jul 1 1993 teen years peaked at the end of the 2000s/start of the 2010s, those born on Feb 28/Mar 1 1995 teen years peaked in middle of the early 2010s, those born on Jun 30/Jul 1 1998 teen years peaked in the middle of the mid 2010s (and the middle of the 2010s in general), those born on Oct 31/Nov 1 2001 teen year peaked in the middle of the late 2010s, and those born on Jun 30/Jul 1 2003 teen years peaked at the end of the 2010s/start of the 2020s.

1994 babies spend none of their teen years in the mid-2010s, considering that period starts in 2014 and they turned 20 that year.
The mid 2010s doesn't start at 2014. 2013 is a transitional year between the early 2010s and mid 2010s. I'd say the 2012-2013 school year is early 2010s, while the 2013-2014 school year is mid 2010s.

A lot of people like to split decades into equal thirds, which means each part is 40 months.

Early 2010s: Jan 2010 - Apr 2013
Mid 2010s: May 2013 - Aug 2016
Late 2010s: Sept 2016 - Dec 2019

Late 2010s teens should  be 2003-2004.(2005 also since they turn 13 this year)
Early 2010s teens should be 1991-1999
Mid should be at 2000-2002 (also since 2002 kids turned 13 in 2015)


So somehow early 2010s teens are 8 years long and late 2010s teens are 2 years? You make no sense


1997ers turn 21 in the late 2010s (2017) also they turn 13 in 2010 which makes them a early 2010s teen. Also 2004ers spend most of their teen years in the late 2010s also ranging from 13-15


No, 13-15 is not most teen years, 2004ers are not late 2010s teens. You have to be born before July 2003 for that.

I'm a partial mid-2010s teen. I was 19, a few days shy of my 20th birthday, when I did the Harlem Shake in February 2013. ;D

So somehow early 2010s teens are 8 years long and late 2010s teens are 2 years? You make no sense

(Even though 18-19 years old are considered adults at this age)
1991ers are 19 year olds in 2010
1992ers are 18 in 2010
1993ers are 17 in 2010
1994ers are 16 in 2010
1995ers are 15 in 2010
1996ers are 14 in 2010
1997ers are 13 in 2010
1998ers are 13 in 2011
1999ers are 13 in 2012

2003ers 13 in 2016
2004ers 13 in 2017
2005ers 13 in 2018
What I actually meant was that a 1998er can be 13 in 2011 and still be a Early 2010s teen same example for 2003ers and 2004ers.

No, 13-15 is not most teen years, 2004ers are not late 2010s teens. You have to be born before July 2003 for that.

Not really 2004ers are part late 2010s teen and early 2020s teens even though 13-15 aren't considered as full teen years I'd consider them as still teenage years.

It's nothing to do with what you do or don't consider, it's basic maths.

He's both. Your teen years last 7 years, so obviously it's not going to fit into just one 3-year era.

Yes but what I was trying to say was that 13-15 isn't most of your teen years.

What's all of this chit chat?

I don't consider myself to have been an early 2010s teen even though I was 13-14 during 2012-2013.

I consider myself to be a mid '10s teen and not a late '10s teen at all. I'm in college now and a lot of the "teen" stuff is not relatable to me even though I'm still technically a teen.

Adolescence starts at age 11 and ends at 21, which would make ages 12-20 fully adolescence.

Here's my source: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/teen/Pages/Stages-of-Adolescence.aspx

"Adolescence, these years from puberty to adulthood, may be roughly divided into three stages: early adolescence, generally ages eleven to fourteen; middle adolescence, ages fifteen to seventeen; and late adolescence, ages eighteen to twenty-one."

The core of adolescence is ages 15-17, whereas 14 & 18 are transitional between middle to high school or high school to college.

Or look at it like this

Middle school (ages 11-14) = Early adolescence
High school (ages 14-18) = Core adolescence
Early adulthood (ages 18-21) Late Adolescence

Hope this helps out  ;)

Being an adolescent =/= Being a teen

ALL teens are adolescents but not all adolescents are teens.

Yeah, but the range 13-19 is only based off the suffix -teen, extending that to 12-20 isn't a bad idea, 12 & 13 are in the same stage of adolescence and 19 & 20 are in the same stage of adolescence.

Um, like I said....

Being an adolescent =/= Being a teen

ALL teens are adolescents but not all adolescents are teens.

Who really cares, I basically just consider anyone from around the age of 10/11 through their early 20's as an adolescent. Teenager is just 13-19.

The mid 2010s doesn't start at 2014. 2013 is a transitional year between the early 2010s and mid 2010s. I'd say the 2012-2013 school year is early 2010s, while the 2013-2014 school year is mid 2010s.

A lot of people like to split decades into equal thirds, which means each part is 40 months.

Early 2010s: Jan 2010 - Apr 2013
Mid 2010s: May 2013 - Aug 2016
Late 2010s: Sept 2016 - Dec 2019
Loooooool How freaking ridiculous is it. Yes of course lets start period not even in the middle of a year like May ::)
So to you someone who has its birthday in January is more of mid-2010s teen than someone born in September while they're both born in the same year?

I always hated dividing decades into 3 anyway. Makes more to sense to me to just divide a 10 years-long period into 2 parts and call the first part (0-4) the early part, and the second one (5-9) the late part. It's so much more convenient than trying to shoehorn people's lifes into something ridiculous as a «3 years and 4 months» period. You have much less problem with people crossing over multiple periods.

Anyway these early/mid/late- Something discussions always make me neurotic lol
