Yeah, Kate's the oldest of the original Young Avengers, so her being of age doesn't mean the others are.

I've always thought they should've been the same age as Kate. My personal impression was that Cassie was 14 and everyone else was 2 years older than her in the original team. I don't think the age difference Gillen set up for them makes sense. They were supposed to be 18 during his run, and Kate was 21, so she was 3 years older than them. That means that when they debuted, she was already like 19? It doesn't add up, 'cause they were all high schoolers. I remember Eli saying he was 17 at the end of Children's Crusade, and I always assumed that that was supposed to be all of their ages (except for Cassie) during that time.
Gillen screwed up. Kate shouldn't have been 21 with less than 10 years of existence. People don't age like that in the Marvel Universe.
I swear, Gillen aging the team up randomly caused more harm than good.
One of many things he did wrong with the YA.

There's not really an actual rule to character aging. Characters can age up however people want them to. Sometimes they even go backwards.
Yeah, nobody should age backwards without a justification - for example, DC turned Raven and Beast Boy back into teenagers nine years ago - but at the time it was meant to be a reboot, and when it turned out not to be, they retconned that Doctor Manhattan from Watchmen was to blame. Wally West is currently cleaning up that mess (as shown in the recent Flash Forward #6 and next week's Flash #750), so they'll probably be aged back up soon.
I don't believe Marvel has any such excuse.

''walking through some of the comics that influenced the event''
I'm guessing the Young Avengers will be brought up, then. I want a YA series announcement as a tie-in to Empyre, but I won't get too hopeful, 'cause I've been disappointed with every single convention Marvel has done recently. I hope we'll at least get the Billy/Teddy cover Jim Cheung teased, and maybe some more details about the Emperor Hulkling one-shot.
According to Brevoort the Young Avengers will play a role in Empyre. He also said that they can't tell us about Billy's role.
Not to mention Teddy cutting the Thing in half and then looking FINE af
