Like other resistance protests, and like previous gun-control marches, the March for Our Lives was mostly women. Whereas the 2017 Women’s March was 85 percent women, the March for Our Lives was 70 percent women. Further, participants were highly educated; 72 percent had a BA or higher.

Contrary to what’s been reported in many media accounts, the D.C. March for Our Lives crowd was not primarily made up of teenagers. Only about 10 percent of the participants were under 18. The average age of the adults in the crowd was just under 49 years old, which is older than participants at the other marches I’ve surveyed but similar to the age of the average participant at the Million Moms March in 2000, which was also about gun control.

That's some lovely writing by your source. So, if 10% were under 18, that leaves 18 and 19 year olds (who are still teenagers) unaccounted for in the percentage.

Considering 18 and 19 year olds have more of an open schedule on a school day than those under 18 and the means to get to the event (a 19 year old would be able to drive and have more money as opposed to a 14 year old), it isn't far-fetched to think that the older teenagers accounted for much more of the crowd percentage than the younger teenagers.
