The word "teenager" does not appear in the Bible. The concept of adolescence as a distinct life stage wasn't as defined in biblical times as it is today. People moved more quickly from childhood to adulthood.
While the word isn't there, the Bible does contain stories and figures who would have been in their adolescent years by modern standards. For example:
* David: He was likely a teenager when he fought Goliath (1 Samuel 17).
* Samuel: He served in the temple as a young boy (1 Samuel 2-3).
* Mary (mother of Jesus): She was likely a young woman, possibly in her teens, when she conceived Jesus.
* Jesus: The Gospels mention incidents from Jesus's childhood and youth, such as his visit to the temple at age 12 (Luke 2:41-52).
So, while the *word* "teenager" is absent, the *experience* of adolescence is reflected in the lives of people in the Bible.
