Between the ages of 12 and 30 and where do you get that infomation. I you don't know what he did, why doesn't the bible tell us his whole life?

I think he went to school until 18 then to college (another 6 years) then he sponged off Mom and Dad until they kicked him out at 30.

There are some "gospels" that carry information about Jesus' childhood, but these works didn't make "the cut" for one reason or another when the present Bible was compiled. The Bible does record that Jesus' first miracle took place at a wedding, after he had already been through a baptism and desert fasting/temptation, and become established as a Rabbi. That it says this was his FIRST, indicates there were none preceding it.
It is possible that his life before the desert baptism was entirely normal, except that he had not married and knew EXACTLY
who His Father was. Maybe this is God's way of telling us there is nothing wrong with holding down a mundane job, and working with your hands? If it is good enough for Jesus.....
Mundane jobs and childhoods and life we already know about. Why go into detail? Enough people think the Bible is boring already!

Jesus would pray often, his Spirit new of his Father God, and God would minister to Jesus. Jesus would listen to groups to know the thinking of others, as he age some more Jesus would seek out Religious types groups.
The childhood and young manhood of the Master was spent in Nazareth; but of that period of about thirty years the Bible relates but a single incident. This was the novel occurrence during a journey to Jerusalem with His parents following His twelfth birthday. He had by then come to the age when the Jewish male had achieved the status of manhood, which may have been the occasion of this particular visit to the Temple.

What ever he did between the ages of 12-29 wasn't relevant to our salvation. The bible only includes information concerning Jesus' life that we need to know about.

Who would have kept all the records for that at the time, after you die, will they know what you did from ages 12 to 30? I don't think so, you can't keep tabs on everything you do in all your life, if it's irrelevant, it will not be kept.

I have heard it called 'the lost years' and that he spend it in the countries such as Iraq and Iran. Also, I heard all these books were destroyed in the middle of the 6th century onward. That would explain why we have very little info on Jesus between those years.

The Bible is missing a lot of the stuff that happened between the beginning and the death of John, author of Revelation. The Bible is the Word of God and a source of divine and spiritual text.
Jesus going to the bathroom and similar material is immaterial.

The Bible is silent about many things.
Although those silences may peak our interest, they are essentially irrelevant to the story line, and the message of the Gospel.

He studied the Hebrew Scriptures in the Quumran Community about 60 miles from Jerusalem, making himself ready to be the next King of the Hebrews.
