These are all fantastic ideas. I like the popularity scale and more gameplay involving socialisation, since that's a Big Thing for teens. They do just feel like young adults... and look almost identical. :(
I'd like them to be a bit smaller, but that's a whole other thing. As said, I'd rather we improve teens than squash in another age group.
Anyway, yeah. Also +Embarrassment whenever they get acne, need braces or glasses, or when someone "Makes Fun of Outfit" (which could be a new interaction in Mean). After school sports clubs, rallies, and games can be attended; depending on a Sim's club, their popularity could increase or decrease.
Maybe introduce the Unconfident trait. We have Assertive; Sims with that trait could be unruffled about their reputation and maybe other Teens could think they're cool. If Unconfident, they're more easily embarrassed than other Sims.
Give parents the option to "Attend Child's Performance/Game/etc" depending on their extracurricular activities. Maybe also have them attend parent's evenings. Teens could get report cards and detentions.
Prom would be great. Sims could vote for Prom King and Queen, sabotage ballots, pull pranks, etc. We need more Teen-ish formal wear... also Graduation would be awesome! And it could be hosted anywhere.
I'm rambling, but yeah. Super into your ideas.
