The funny thing is that I've known 16-17 year-olds who look like the first picture (which, if you ask me is 14-15) ... and 16-17 year-olds that look like the second.
Teenagers IRL are terribly inconsistent in what's "normal" in how they look.
I have never seen a teen that looks like the bottom so I'm going to have to disagree here. Some teens look a little older then their age but never like a grown man or woman, you can usually always tell they are young, especially by their behavior and the way they carry themselves...
Social media (with plenty of filters) definitely makes it more difficult... But I've never had a problem in person, myself haha I always looked a bit older growing up, but never older than my 20s when I was about 16!
Teenager is a really difficult life stage, I think, because so much happens... You literally go from child to adult in the teen years, so just one phase isn't ever going to fully cut it in terms of realism.
The meme is hilarious! I got a good chuckle :D
