Because when the Bible was compiled, all the "books" that spoke of Jesus as a mortal (which obviously he was) were intentionally left out. Only those books which spoke of him as "god's son" were included. In other words, if the truth didn't fit with what the church wanted, it rewrote history by simply excluding it.

Like most people I was a teenager between the ages of 13 and 19. But I was never ever rebelious. Being a teenager does not mean that you go through that stuff. It is just an age period of maturing. Not being bad. So yeah. He was a teenager. And he was not born December 25. It is more thought that he was possibly born in the spring time.

There is a book online about the "lost" years of Jesus. "The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ." Just Google it if you are interested... and I have no idea how accurate it is.
Autobiography of a Yogi is another one that speaks about his travels in the Far East.
It may seem far fetched to speak of these things... until you look closely at the ORIGINAL Gospel in the 4 Gospels. Jesus was speaking of "Sackcloth and Ashes"... and the only place you can see that is in India... so it is possible.
The eastern influence is quite prevelent in those gospels... and this resource highlights a great many of those Eastern references.

Jesus never actually existed. The "moral sayings" came first. The legend and mythology of Jesus was developed much later. You're question is like asking why there are no stories of Mary Poppins when she was a teenager.

At the age of 12 he was found in the temple teaching the high Priest.

Probably because the gospel writers did not think it was relevant. Mark does not concern himself with anything before the baptism. I wonder why some people expect them to have written a biography. Their objective was to proclaim the good news.

Because Jesus was just as we are when he was a child and a teen. He had to waite for God to say now is the time. As a young adult, he helped His earthly father do carpentry work. He was normal. Nothing supernatural, or amazing, or exciting to tell or talk about.

There is none in the Bible.
He was a foolish kid! No one buys what a kid tells you! It wasn't until he turned the water into wine when people started to notice he was "special."
He didn't understand the job before him until he reached well into his adulthood. So, whatEVER he may have said as a child is irrelevent, basically.
Merry CHRISTmas, Asker.

Because, as I am sure you are aware, historians simply didn't waste precious space writing about teenagers (and thank the gods for that, for teenagers are boring).

There isn't an accepted record of his teenage years. There are fables in unorthodox texts but these were written hundreds of years after his resurrection.
