What age do you consider someone to be a teen mom?

Question

Asking because I have heard a lot of different opinions on this. Ranging from "Up until someone is 21 they are a teen mom"  "Under 18 Only is considered teen mom" or "Until their age no longer ends in 'teen'".  I was pregnant at 19 but I am now 20 and baby will be 6 months when I turn 21. Am I considered a teen mom? Just a question I've had for a minute. Thank for the help!

Accepted Answer

Anything “teen” so 19 and under.

Answer

I consider 17 and under. 18 & 19 are also teenagers but they’re legally adults so

Answer

Anything that has a "teen" in it.

Answer

I guess “technically” it would be anyone under 19, but I generally refer to teen moms as anyone who is still a minor.

Answer

13-19. And probably anyone between 20-25 , I’d call a young mom.

Answer

Anything TEEN. So no, 20 and 21 don’t count.
I can’t believe people are voting up to 21

Answer

If you're 20 when your baby is born I wouldn't consider you a teen mom.

Answer

Where is the “up until 20” option...it’s literally in the number...nine-TEEN is the end of the teen years lolol

Answer

I was a teen mom I had my daughter when I was 18 and now I’m 23 pregnant with my second child and people say I’m a young mother 🤷🏻‍♀️ I thought I was a young mother at 18 but that’s how people see it

Answer

I am a fairly literal person, so I always thought of it as 19 and under because that is the highest number with ‘teen’ in the word..
Also, I think of it in terms of when they are pregnant, so getting pregnant at 19, even if they turn 20 by the time the baby is born, makes them a teen mom in my opinion... not that I have ever really had to consider this with actual people and categorize them.. just sharing how my mind works.
