Youth

Youth refers to the period in a person’s life that is characterized by growth, development, and transition from childhood to adulthood. This stage typically encompasses the ages of approximately 13 to 24, although the exact range can vary culturally and socially. Youth is marked by physical, emotional, and psychological changes, as well as a quest for identity and independence. During this time, individuals often engage in important experiences such as education, socialization, and exploration of personal values and beliefs. Youth is also associated with energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of possibility, but can also involve challenges such as peer pressure, mental health issues, and the search for one’s place in society. The concept of youth is significant in various contexts, including personal development, education, and policy-making, as it represents a formative stage in human development that shapes future generations.
