Best Answer

The first attested use (originally it was usually hyphenated, as "teen-ager") occurred in the 1940s. The related word "teenage" dates to 1921 in print.

Words are often used in informal speech long before they're written down, so the word, or at least a closely related variation, might be perhaps as much as a hundred years old or so.
