Bible never mentions teenagers/adolescents. Only babies, kids, adults and elders. Also Biblical movies don't have teenagers... it looks like a child goes straight to adulthood in the bible.

Biblical movies don't have anyone who resembles teenagers.

The term teenager and adolescent are fairly recent words. The Bible makes mention of "young men" which could be guys in their early teens to late forties. David is believed to be a teenager when he slew Goliath (as was King Saul's son Johnathon when he and David met).

Actually, the disciple John was very young though Ii don't exactly know what age, also David was chosen when he was an adolescent and then there was Mary....I can't say they were exactly teenagers. Teenagers is a phenomenon of our modern culture and those who speak the English language. Also in the Jewish tradition you go from being a child at 12 to manhood at 13 with the ceremony/celebration bar mitzvah.

In the culture of the time, there really wasn't an adolescence like we know it today. You might look at the life of David. He was probably a young teenager when he took on Goliath. But girls were usually wed at the young ages of 14 or 15 and considered adults. They just didn't look on teenagers as we do today. Life was too short.

Of course not, God loves all his children. I think in Biblical times, it was more like, have of adolescence you considered a child, and the other half you were considered an adult.

No. God never has hated a single person, ever. No way. He hates the sin... or sinful acts. Never has he ever done such a thing as you suggest. No God-knowing individual would ever dare to lob such an unholy trait onto Our Loving, Heavenly Father.
Edit added: You only need to listen to your own inner spirit to know the truth about God; just because the societies of old made boys into men at 13 has nothing to do with God's love.
I suspect you don't like the Bible, but don't mistake the Bible for being a replete and perfect reflection from God. It encompasses only those things people thought and wrote about him in those days.

My countrywoman on the age of sixteen in simple terms achieved a solo around the international yacht holiday. silly? No, yet brave and gifted, sure. Your gross generalisation famous you. The silly are ultimate to maintain quiet (or end writing dumb questions approximately R&S) as a manner to no longer be certain it to something human beings. Get it?

Yeah those damn pot smoking good for nothing teens!
Actually people lived shorter lives and married younger so I guess teens were seen as adults.
