Youth

Youth refers to the period of life between childhood and adulthood, typically encompassing the teenage years and early twenties. It is characterized by physical, emotional, and social development, as individuals transition from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adult life. This stage often involves exploring identity, establishing relationships, and gaining education and skills necessary for adulthood. Youth is frequently associated with energy, optimism, and a sense of adventure, but it can also involve challenges such as peer pressure, self-discovery, and the search for one’s place in society. Different cultures may define the specific age range and societal expectations associated with youth, but it is universally recognized as a formative period that shapes an individual’s future.
