Youth is the time of life between childhood and adulthood (maturity). Definitions of the specific age range that constitutes youth vary. An individual's actual maturity may not correspond to their chronological age, as immature individuals could exist at all ages.

Usage

Around the world the terms "youth", "adolescent", "teenager", and "young person" are interchanged, often meaning the same thing, occasionally differentiated. Youth generally refers to a time of life that is neither childhood nor adulthood, but rather somewhere in-between. Youth also identifies a particular mindset of attitude, as in "He is very youthful". The term youth is also related to being young.

"This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease." - Robert Kennedy

Youth is an alternative word to the scientifically-oriented adolescent and the common terms of teen and teenager. Another common title for youth is young person or young people.

Population aged under 15 years in 2005

However citing recent research studies at the University of Bath, England, it has become apparent that use of the term youth has significantly risen in the Oldland Common area of Bristol.

What are the objectives of a youth group?
Q. I am about to begin my first "term" as temple youth group leader, and I am really not sure how to go about making this youth group really worth it. I understand that we are supposed to be doing things that help the community, and our temple, but how? I just don't understand what are the specific objectives of a youth group that I need to keep in mind while leading it. An outline of my objectives would be greatly appreciated.

A. Do yard work for people in the nearby neighborhood. Paint the addresses on their curbs. That's all I can think of at the moment. They key here is service, which is why I skipped the typical bake sale-type stuff.
