whom the teenager?



Teenagers from the Latin word meaning adolensence grow or grow into adults. Adolensence term has a wider meaning that includes mental maturity, emotional, social and physical (Hurlock, 1992). Teenagers do not really have a clear place for not one of those children but also adults or older groups.
As noted by the Candidate (in Monks, et al 1994) that adolescence show clearly the nature of the transition or shift because adolescents do not obtain adult status and no longer have the status of children. According to Sri Rumini & Siti Sundari (2004: 53) adolescence is a transition from childhood to adulthood are experiencing the development of all aspects / functions to enter adulthood.


Adolescence lasts between 12 years to 21 years for women and 13 years to 22 years for men. Meanwhile, according to zakiah Darajat (1990: 23) teens are:
transition between childhood and adulthood. In this period the child experienced a period of growth and the development of physical and psychic development. They are not children either body shape or way of thinking or acting, but not the adults who have matured.
Similar disclosed by Santrock (2003: 26) that the adolescent (adolescene) is defined as a developmental period of transition between childhood and adulthood that include changes in biological, cognitive, and social-emotional.


Limitation of teens that are commonly used by experts is between 12 to 21 years. Timescales adolescence is usually divided into three, namely 12-15 years = early adolescence, 15-18 years = mid-adolescence, and18-21 years = late adolescence. But Monks, Knoers, and Haditono distinguish adolescence into four parts,namely the pre-teen 10-12 years, early adolescence 12-15 years, mid-adolescence 15-18 years, and late adolescence 18-21 years (Deswita , 2006: 192)
The definition presented by Sri Rumini & Siti Sundari, zakiah Darajat, and Santrock illustrates that adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood with an age range between 12-22 years, which at that time there was a good maturation process of maturation physically, and psychologically.
