ADOLESCENCE – BETWEEN
CHILDHOODAND ADULTHOOD
American psychologists differ slightly
with their age definition of
adolescence.
Feist & Rosenberg (2012) pegged early
adolescence at age 11 or 12, and late
adolescence at about age 18. Hence,
in America, a child is usually out of the
house by the age 18 because this is
the age on how they define young
adulthood.
