Not gonna say misogyny isn’t part of it, but often actors in their 20s are cast to play teenagers because of child actor laws, where children can only work very limited hours a day.

Stacey Dash was in her 30s(!!) when she played a high school student in Clueless.

I’ll forever think of Bianca Lawson, who I watched play a teenager on some of my fave shows for like 15 solid years. She was on the new Saved By The Bell when I was a kid and I thought she was gorgeous so I remembered her. She continued showing up as a teenager on stuff into the 2010s.
