Something out of the Bible perhaps?

Luke 2:21 And when eight days were completed, so they could circumcise Him, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.
Luke 2:39 So when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. 40 And the Child was growing and becoming strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. 41 And His parents traveled to Jerusalem every year to the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, when they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast, 43 and when they completed the days, while they were returning, the Child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and Joseph and His mother did not know it. 44 But supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among their relatives and among their acquaintances. 45 And when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now it came to pass that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them. 47 And those who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and His answers. 48 And when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Child, why have You treated us this way? Look, Your father and I were seeking You anxiously." 49 And He said to them, "Why is it that you were seeking Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" 50 But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them. 51 Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them. And His mother kept all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
He had brothers and sisters and worked as a carpenter.
Mark 6:2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many when they heard were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, and such miracles are coming about by His hands? 3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" And they were offended at Him. 4 But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own hometown, and among his relatives, and in his own house."

He worked as a carpenter in a backwater called Nazareth, and was basically unknown until he activated his messianic destiny. I find it interesting, and slightly disturbing, that he lived an average, ordinary life until he was 30, probably building relationships and friendships, and modeling how to do business as God desires, and modeling honesty and integrity. This thought has recently made me rethink "missions", and what it means to be a missionary.
Edit: Wow J C, that has to be the longest answer I have ever seen on here- was that like a cut and paste of an entire half of an encyclopedia? I had to scroll for what seemed like a half an hour.

there is none - he was born in a manger in a stable, and as a baby he was taken to egypt for safety. When he was 12, he amazed the teachers and priests at the temple because of his teaching, he said he was doing his father's work. When he was 30 he was baptized by his cousin John.
thats all there is up to the age of 30.
he was PROBABLY a carpenter like his "stepfather" Joseph.
How the heck christians can worship a man they know NOTHING about is a mystery to me.
I think there is a lot more info about Buddha during his life time, and he lived 500 years BEFORE Jesus.

Well, he was born, a whole lot is in the bible on that. He was taken to Egypt because all the children around were to be killed. The next we hear about him was when he was about 12 and his parents took him to Jerusalem for the passover celebration or to pay taxes. He impressed the hyrarchy of the Temple by his knowledge. Joseph and Mary had to return to find him. Then the only comment is that he grew in both stature and knowledge and then he fasted for 40 days and nights, was tempted by satan and began his ministry.

Feel free to contact one of the Witnesses, they would be more than happy to give this publication to you at no charge.

There was the time he remained in the temple and his parents left without him. But even if it is in the Bible, that does not make it true.
Edit:
By the way, even though Nazareth existed today, there is no mention of it existing in Jesus' time and maybe a mistranslation of a title.

He probably worked as a carpenter in Joseph's shop.
