things that Christ did as a youth that might not have been the kind of things someone who was the son of God and holiest of men should have been doing?

A childhood not recorded is a childhood unknown to everyone except those who were there to see and they chose not to include that part of Jesus in their preachings.Why?

I think that there are things that He did as a youth, especially, that someone, or Someone, doesn't want anyone to know for sure about; to take on faith.
For instance, in those days, it was common for people to marry in their teens. Perhaps He was married and even had a family, and any records of this were either never written, or suppressed by those who decided that marriage=sex, and the thought of Christ having (sshhhhhh! sex) is just repugnant to some people.
Or, perhaps, nothing really exciting happened to Him and that's why there are no records.

I posed a similar question to my catechism class teacher (a nun) and was slapped in face and told that I would be taught what the church wished me to be taught.
Since that time, I have learned that there are missing books of the Bible that for whatever reason, the Vatican does not wish us to know about. They are shrouded in mystery.
I believe now, as I have always believed, that all of Jesus Christ's life was important, and that all of it was chronicled.
Some people speculate that he went into the East and studied other religions. What he actually did, I cannot say and will not speculate, but that it had to be important spiritually, I have no doubt.
*******You are obviously looking for an opinion that mirrors your own uninformed and closed minded one. Go away little boy.

His childhood isn't omitted. Not entirely anyway. There are a few parts of his childhood included in the bible.

Most of his childhood is not necessary for our salvation. However, if you wish to know more, read one of the gospels that did not make it into the New Testment: The Protoevangelium of James: http://ministries.tliquest.net/theology/apocryphas/nt/protevan.htm

it recorded. he is a carpenter.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

not really, it is evident that Jesus was brought up in a proper manner. Since he was spiritually inclined, he obviously was a good kid, and had a good character. He was taught everything from Joseph and Mary. He was not chosen to be anointed until he was baptized.

Yes I believe so. Because it will show that Jesus was just ordinary human being except for the special powers granted to him.
It was known that he got circumsized. Definitely when a person eat and drink, he will have to pass urine and excrement and that will be ungodly because we cannot relate filth with god.
