Tropes about teenagers, adolescents, and youth as well those in middle/high school and puberty. Set apart by having left elementary school and being filled with hormones but not yet legal adults, they tend to lead adventurous and dramatic lives—at least in fiction.
Some of these can apply to children or adults but because they are named for those who are growing up they go here. If the title has the word child or kid in it then it only counts if by child it means non-adult. Comes after or blends with Youngsters. See also School Tropes.
