If a male child is a boy and a male adult is a man, what is a male adolescent?

PLEASE DO NOT SAY TEENAGER OR YOUTH!

They are AGE GROUPS, not a sex.

Can "boy" represent children AND adolescents or man represent adolescents and men?

Update:

Young adults are people aged 18-24.

You can't call a young puppy a kitten

    it all depends on the maturity of the adolecent. some still need to be taken care of and even if they had a job couldnt make it on there own and some could. so it depends on the person, normally you can tell.

    It's a male who has gone through, or going through puberty, but isn't an adult yet.
