Yeah generally an 11 year old is refereed to as a young adult, so certainly 13/14 is one. I come from European parents so maybe i am biased, because people in America seem to have no conception how much as a nation we coddle and baby compared to the rest of the world. And given my experiences working with them at the restaurant and the increasing amounts of boomerang kids, and kids being less and less prepared for college i don't think thats a good thing. And yes my kids are young but i even treat them as young adults, and find it works better on all levels.
No, an 11 year old is NOT referred to as a "young adult." Young adult is the term given to people between the ages of 18 and 21, 18 being the age you can leave home and 21 traditionally being celebrated as the age when you become a full adult. That's why 21st birthdays are a big deal. Even in countries where you can drink at 18 or younger. Those countries in Europe and the rest of the world.

In europe they treat what most would call "kids" here as young adults and in terms of maturity they blow American kids away.
Yeah my 17 year old little sister is a straight A student who has already earned scholarships since grade school for college, is on the junior city council, etc and she trick or treated til she was a freshman.
She trick or treated until she was a college freshman? No offense to your sister but that's a bit much.

Oh please!!! Believe me there are just as many stupid and immature French teens as there are American ones.
