I am writing a book about a teenage girl. In one line, I am saying that she saw another female. When I say... > she saw another girl I think saying girl will make her sound like a child rather than a teenager (aged 15) and simply saying woman makes her seem more mature and like a woman in her 20's or older. But saying... > a teenage girl that was of an age similar to her seems like over doing it and too many common words. Any suggestions?
