Teens are children. Teenager is just a development level of childhood.

No they're not, in many different countries. And I was NOT talking about a 13 year old, which is a child. But in many nations 16 in some, 17 in others, and 18 in the USA, is the AGE OF CONSENT TO SEXUAL RELATIONS!

And though I fully admit to NOT "knowing all of the facts", apparently, I know FAR MORE FACTS, about this, than those posting about it; certainly far more than you.

I'm not even interested in this mess! But over the years, it's been in the news, in different countries ( I read many different foreign newspapers, always have ) and I remember what I've read. And GOD knows, it's also been on this very site, for a very long time, here and there.

What I have found that with leftists and their view of teenagers depends on the context. When teenagers commit crimes, in the leftist minds they are children. When they want to have sex with them, they are not.
