Quid est Veritas?
In Memoriam to CS Lewis
There are stories in the Protoevangelium of James and other apocrypha regarding Jesus' youth written in the third century or so. However, these are rejected by mainstream Christianity (for good reason, some are blasphemous in my opinion like Jesus striking dead another child and then resurrecting him).
As Jesus was a baby, He had to have had a youth on earth, but we only have information for His birth, one event at 12 in Jerusalem and the three years of His ministry. The rest is pure conjecture.

God IS. He does not "have" youth or anything else. He does not age. He IS, without beginning, without end. He presented Himself as Jesus, He comes to us in the Holy Spirit, while never leaving His Spiritual Throne.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. In the Incarnation God, the eternally begotten Son of the Father, was conceived, was born, had a childhood, grew up, became an adult, suffered, died, rose from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father where He sits and reigns.
So in the Incarnation God (the Son) was at one time an adolescent.
