You got to love it when people make all these claims and don't do proper research. I'll repost what I put in another thread.
In Spanish, do you see trece-teen or trece-something-else for thirteen? Of course not. Because there is no significant difference between 12 and 13 whatsoever. Twelve is doce in Spanish by the way. The correct term for people out of childhood is "adolescent", not "teenager".
"Teenager" may be a cultural term, but it's certainly not a biological term. Studies have shown that people enter puberty around their eleventh birthday on average. I'm not surprised by this information either. When I was eleven, my teacher even referred to us as adolescents and in the previous school year, another teacher assembled boys of the school together for a talk because some people were making fun of "changes in girl's bodies". What I watched at eleven has more similarities to what I watched at fourteen than what I watched at eight.
Wherever you spend the most time being 4-10 is your decade per rule of majority. Yes, many people will have some childhood either before or after their "main" decade, but if you are going to categorize..
90s = July 1, 1982 - June 30, 1992
00s = July 1, 1992 - June 30, 2002
10s = July 1, 2002 - June 30, 2012
Someone might say "But people born in the 90s don't remember Nirvana" or something like that. Doesn't matter. Where you spend the majority of your childhood is where you are.
