Tween
The worst word in history used to describe 8-12 year olds when 8-10 year olds are nothin like 11-12 year olds. Pre-teens (10-12 year olds) hate being called such an annoying derogatory term and you should never use it.
Mom: RaIsInG A tWeEn Is So HaRd!!!
12 yr old: I my goood mom SHUT UP
11 yr old: *dies of embarrassment*
10 yr old: Wtf is a “tween”???
8 year old: Yeah what even does that mean? Sounds stupid.
9 year old: How could you even compare an 8 year old to an 11 year old? Why would you compare me to 12 year old?? We are nothing a like!!
