The term "teenager" as a distinct category does not appear in the Bible, as the concept of adolescence has evolved over time and is not explicitly defined in biblical texts. However, biblical accounts do address young people and their roles within the family and society. In ancient Israel, young individuals typically transitioned to adulthood at a much younger age than is common today. For example, Jewish boys were considered accountable for their actions at the age of 13, marked by the Bar Mitzvah ceremony, while girls were often considered adults at 12.Biblical narratives provide several examples of young individuals who played significant roles, such as David, who was a shepherd boy when he was anointed king (1 Samuel 16:11-13), and Jesus, who astounded teachers in the temple at the age of 12 (Luke 2:41-52). These accounts illustrate that while the label of "teenager" may not be present, the experiences, responsibilities, and potential of young individuals were recognized and valued in biblical times. The Bible encourages the youth to seek wisdom and understanding, as seen in Proverbs 1:8-9, where it emphasizes the importance of heeding parental guidance and valuing wisdom from an early age.
