Absolutely not. Teenagers feel lust, possibly more lust than older people. Why try to ignore the thing that they're probably more obsessed with than anything else?
I read 'Naked Lunch' by William Burroughs when I was 13. It made an impression on me alright, although I didn't understand it; it certainly didn't make me want to take heroin or experiment with persons of my own sex. I can understand not writing about sex if you're writing for pre-pubescent kids - they don't really know or care anything about it, so there's no point. But teenagers need all the sensible information they can get.

Why do you think a word should be censored?
I'm sure most teens use the F word and have a deep understanding of lust.
No one hides the word 'murder' from teens - you would have to ban a lot of great books and films.
If you write a book worry more about the morality of your story then the individual words you use.

If I were writing for that age group, I'd pick an alternative term. If writing for a bit more mature audience, then by all means, use the word lust. They'll be ready for it where the teens probably aren't yet....not so bluntly in any case.

I think it really depends on the context of the word. If it is referencing a sexual relationship or the like, then I would probably skip it. However, despite our modern connotations of the word, that is not the only situation that it can be applied to. If a character were lusting after something else (treasure or fame, perhaps) then I think it would be perfectly appropriate vocabulary.

No not really, for lust can have a multitude of meaning in all contexts. Just don't make lust an adventure that some teens would like to experiment with ok. I wish you success in your writing and getting all your works publish.............

I think most teen fantasies involve lust so it's an entirely appropriate word to use. Anything else would be misguided or euphemistic.

If you compare it to films then the BBFC would say it was fine for a teen to see/hear the word lust

No LUST is the most in the fantasies of teenagers, it should appear in every paragraph on every pag if not in every sentence.

Of course not! All teenagers are intimate with the concept of lust.
