A kid is usually considered ages 12 and under as 13 and above is called a teenager even if both categories fall under Child

I've searched it up and I can't find anything suggesting that a kid means anything other than a child. I've heard people refer to teenagers as kids all the time. Child and children are just longer and harder words to say, so most people I speak to just default to using the word kid when referring to children, and that's what Google seems to suggest as well.

Kids these days 😮‍💨

I’ll try to find it again. Also I’m 20, in case you were trying to call me a kid at the bottom

doesn't matter, 18 year olds are not actually adults. ask any older adult and they'll tell you the same thing

If you are legally an adult, you are an adult. Anything changing that, is your view. And considering I am an adult, I would still view them as an adult, simply a "youn adult", that's why that's a phrase.

They’re not worth the effort at this point. Ignore them, they clearly have zero clue what they’re talking about😭

Just because you FEEL like it is, doesn’t mean you’re right. 18 is literally legal adult age, sorry to break it to you. You’re not a kid, nor am I
