Youth

Youth refers to the period of life between childhood and adulthood, typically encompassing the teenage years and sometimes extending into the early twenties. It is characterized by significant physical, emotional, and social development. During this stage, individuals often experience increased independence, identity formation, and exploration of personal beliefs and values. Youth is also associated with a sense of vigor, enthusiasm, and the pursuit of goals, as well as challenges such as peer pressure and the search for self-identity. This developmental phase plays a crucial role in shaping future behaviors, attitudes, and societal contributions.
