Promoting under-age sex?

How come Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z, according to Wikipedia, only have 15 years per generation? That would mean the people of each of those generation have an average of 14.25 years from birth to their own pregnancy (and then give birth at 15 to the next generation baby). Something is very wrong here. 185.13.50.211 (talk) 13:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are referring to biological generations. This article, and the other ones you mentioned, discuss social generations. Nerd271 (talk) 15:19, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
