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.

Despite its unique characteristics, YA shares the fundamental elements of fiction with other stories: character, plot, setting, theme, and style. (goodreads.com)
