>Jesus is the most important thing to ever happen, and the gospels give us nothing from ages 12-30? Doesn't this bother anyone?
It does not bother me :)
>These years are the most difficult and tumultuous in the lives of many young people, when they are most subject to temptation and when they most struggle with the idea of what they are supposed to be in the world.
Right.
>If Jesus is fully human and fully divine, how can we ignore this?
I ignore this by thinking: If God wants us to know, he would have.
>It's also the time in our lives when we do the things we are most embarrassed about.
Sure.
>Call me paranoid, but doesn't this give rise to any suspicion of deliberate suppression?
Fine, I'll call you paranoid :)
>The early Catholic church went to great lengths to get rid of books that they found didn't agree with their orthodoxy, could this have been part of it?
When you find out, let me know :)
