Well we can work in terms like adolescent, post-pubescent, teen, or what ever. But an 11-12 year-old just entering puberty is sure as shite a child to me.

Child and adolescent/teen are very different to me. I identify children as having innocence, meaning no knowledge of drugs, alcohol, sex, violence etc. Teens learn about all that stuff and so they don't act the same as children

i can agree with this... and wouldn't you agree though that someone who is writing an objective article should not use the term "child" to describe a teenager who is not ken to them when their purpose is to be accurate and unbiased?
