What does the Bible say about adolescence?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not specifically address the concept of adolescence; instead, it presents a clear distinction between childhood and adulthood.

The Bible primarily categorizes individuals into two stages: childhood and adulthood, without introducing a prolonged period termed adolescence. This understanding suggests that young people are to be viewed as either children under parental care or as young adults responsible for their actions and faith. In 1 John 2:12-14, for example, John addresses groups of believers based on their spiritual maturity, implying that young men and women are expected to act in faith and maturity akin to adults rather than be relegated to a 'youth' category that embodies irresponsibility.
