Other languages lack the entire idea of “teenager” as their numbers from 13 to 19 lack the suffix “teen”.

They’re just seen as children. The whole “rebellious phase” thing is 100% cultural. Teens in other countries are respectful of their elders and eager to learn their culture so they can pass it on to their children when they have them.
