How do experts define adolescence?

  1. Ages 5 to 14

  2. Ages 10 to 19

  3. Ages 14 to 25

  4. Ages 18 to 24

The correct answer is: Ages 10 to 19

Adolescence is typically defined as the period between childhood and adulthood, when individuals experience physical, psychological, and social changes. Experts generally define this stage as spanning from ages 10 to 19, as this is when most individuals begin to go through puberty and start dealing with more complex emotions and social relationships. Option A is too broad and includes ages where individuals are still considered children, while option C and D extend beyond the generally accepted range for adolescence. Therefore, B is the most accurate and specific age range for adolescence as defined by experts.
