Eric, see my reply to David's message for more of my opinion on
the topic. One thing though, the term "tween"(which I think is
downright, gutwrenchingly sick) refers to those ages 8-12, so I
don't think a 16yo would like being called a "tweener". You must

realize that not all 16 year olds get their license when they are 16 and in
some states you can't even get a license until you are 18 anyway.

Just wanted to avoid any misunderstanding.
