He was a hellraiser and drank a lot of booze and smoked a lot of weed. He was very criminally oriented and he often made outrageous claims like being the son of god or some crap like that, most claims were made while he was on one of his frequent acid trips. A lot of people thought he was a magic man because he performed magic tricks (i.e. raising people from the dead and turning water into wine.) Actually turning water into wine was a favourite trick of his and that helped fuel his alcoholism.
Jesus was also part of a gang who called themselves "The Apostles." They were a rough crew and they did whatever they were told because Jesus was in charge and would often place insolent members in burlap sacks and then beat them with 2x4's.
It's been said that he courted prostitutes, specifically one named Mary Magdalene or something. She was quite the hellcat too. The two of them often got into a lot of trouble and Jesus impregnated her. She was the first unwed teenaged mother in history.
In the end Jesus' crazy lifestyle caught up with him and he was eventually caught by the law, tried, convicted and executed for his actions.

There really isnt much in the Bible about those years. There are many myths floating around but that is just what they are myths. The one thing that sticks out in my mind was when they were traveling and Joseph and Mary thought Jesus was with friends. When they couldnt fiind Him after three days they had to go back to the Temple and get Him. He said did you not know I must be about my Fathers business. But anything else you read is just a shot in the dark as good and you or I could guess. Peace out and God bless this Christmas season.

The bible never mentioned his childhood, he went from an infant to a 30 yr old man. Beside he mostly spent time in the temple and helped Joesph w/ his work, that's all that was mentioned before he started doing his miracles and teaching people the way to Christianity.

Hi, the Gospels tell us that after Jesus was found sitting in the Temple His Mother and Joseph took Him back home and this is the important line,,,,He was subject to their authority and grew in stature, so we can take it that Jesus did nothing remarkable or to get Himself noticed and lived much in the same way as other teenagers,except that He did not sin.

There are plenty of tall tales in the Apocrypha...and not all of them are particularly flattering. The Book of Enoch comes to mind.
Truth is, no one knows anything about Jesus' personal life. Speculation abounds of course. Could you imagine being Jesus' brother? Could you imagine the pressure?
"Why can't you be more like your brother?"

He spent his teen years being shuffled about between foster families and group homes. He joined a gang, and got picked up a few times for vandalism (he was spray painting derogatory remaks, like, "Praise God," onto buildings), assalt, resisting arrest, armed robbery. He spent a few years in juvy, but his record was cleared when he turned 21.
Oh, yeah. Jesus was a real bad-***.

According to the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus used to play tricks on people with his godly powers. Of course, they probably left that one out of the bible because all of these were written centuries after Jesus's death, and that one seemed slightly less probable than the others. Only slightly.

I heard he joined a Jerusalem gang and spent his nights spray-painting walls and oxes with his gang name, "El Jesuso".
He also got involved in some heavy partying with Nazareth Hilton, the daughter of a wealthy innskeeper, and both engaged in underage drinking... there are even oleum paintings of that!
Luckily he matured. Those were shameful years for the family.

Some of the Gnostic gospels cover Jesus' teenage years. I believe such a book is the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (though I could be wrong). Apparently, he was a rebellious teenager!

In his time, people died at age 40 approx. so they married when they were like 14. mary married when she was 14. jesus taught all his life ever since he was born you could find him at the temple preaching. and he helped his father joseph with his carpentry.
