Uhhuh, I don't pedophile is exactly the correct word when talking about teenagers. That said, this is not much better either.

...But it is. Anyone under 18 is a minor, and doing sexual acts with a minor when you're not one makes, makes you a pedophile. A 26 year old having sex with a 14 year old is a pedophile. An 18 year old having sex with a 14 year old is most definitely a pedophile.

I think we have an extreme disagreement about what pedophilia means. I think pedophilia means sexual interest in children, and I don't think teenagers are children. They're definitely not adults adults but they're certainly not children either. Also, the age of consent varies, so by your standards, pedophilia (or rather, molesting children) is legal in many countries. For example, here in Finland the age of consent is 16, and I believe it's 14 in several European countries.
