Teens: Teens also include the Young-adult genre (often abbreviated as YA) are materials and programming centered around adolescents and young adults, roughly ages 13 to 18.
Themes in YA stories often focus on the challenges of youth, so much so that the entire age category is sometimes referred to as problem novels or coming of age novel. Writing styles of YA stories range widely, from the richness of literary style to the clarity and speed of the unobtrusive. Despite its unique characteristics, YA shares the fundamental elements of fiction with other stories: character, plot, setting, theme, and style. (goodreads.com)
