preteen

My obsession with TRL, like most preteen obsessions, was entirely un-ironic.

The quartet giggles like preteen girls around its idol, an unattached alpha male played by Joe Manganiello.

Feel free to get heated about this yourself upon noticing your preteen niece texting furiously under the table.

Sasha, now 11 years old, was no longer the impish child but a preteen with a sense of age-appropriate glamour.

How can we expect the preteen crowd to resist those temptations?
