The only 2 stories I can find about Jesus being a kid is his birth and when he spoke with the elders. It then just goes on into his years of ministry. So, did Christ do anything significant as a adolescent?

Lots of interesting claims so far....but no solid evidence presented.... Didn't one of the disciples write a gospel about his underage life?

And the church didn't put it in the Bible?

What does He do? Grow, work with Joseph, do errands for Mary, play with the other teenagers, attend the sinagogue at Nazareth.
Why did not start preaching at 15? 18? 22? No one would listen. At that time he would be considered a kid or youngster who shall be quiet and let the older men (30+) talk.
Maybe that age limit has been lowered a bit now, but tell me how big leaders you see around in this society that has 15?, 18? or even 22?
He was organized, had a plan, an agenda, and the start of His public ministry had not arrived yet. He waited until John The Baptist started preaching and prepared the way for His ministry to start.

His adolescent is told in Luke 2:52. In between the age of 12 and the age of 30, "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Beyond that, there are no other details we need to know. As the Bible is already about the same length as all seven Harry Potter books put together, did you really want them to add a bunch of unimportant stuff?

Yes, He was always helpful to his father and mother.
Remember a day he was helping out his father who was a carpenter and his dad stressed out because the wood was too short? Jesus said to stretch the wood to make it longer.
His father thought that was silly wood doesn't stretch.
So Jesus stretched the wood!
He stepped up for his friend when bad kids were picking on him. And as a young child he performed little miracles.
for people. Even as a baby he made it so that his mother and father could escape. He was kind and respectful. He was so smart he could talk to a council of grown ups. He loved animals and respected them. I am certain he did so much as a child but few things are mentioned.

He ran with a bad crowd. They raced chariots up and down the streets, drank wine when they were underage, and listened to klezmer music way, way to loud. The Roman Guard used to bring him home drunk a lot, and once he crashed his chariot into one carrying a Roman senator. He got off on that, though, because the senator was drunk also, and couldn't identify who hit him.
Then he got religion so that he didn't have to join the Roman army, and got to where he is today.

He was probably a lot like Rod or Todd Flanders.

Jesus had to stay pure for the atonement offering.

He liked reptiles, and captured many talking snakes. He even taught them to sing, in kind of a "snake choir."
