ADOLESCENCE – BETWEEN
CHILDHOOD AND 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.
