He's been working on it for 9 years. Do you consider a 16 year old a kid?

  No. A 16 year old is at best, a teenager. Sometimes they can be viewed as young adults. A kid is, generally, younger than 13, though a 13 year old can sometimes be called a "kid". An 8-10 year old fits squarely in the "kid" bracket.

    Where are you getting your definition? Merriam-Webster defines it as "a young person" and even gives "kids in high school" as an example usage. Wikipedia includes "young adult" in its definition which includes people from late teens through their twenties (again, according to Wikipedia).

      Calling teens "kids" is part of the cultural problem in modern society. We expect too little of teens, and infantilize and demean them, instead respecting their talent and accountability.
