Will a person be punished for the sins and shortcomings in worship, abandoning prayer, breaking the fast in Ramadan, harming birds, and committing forbidden acts during adolescence?
If adolescence means before puberty, then there is no obligation to make up missed prayers or fasting, and no sin for transgressions, based on the hadith: "The pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens, from the child until he reaches puberty, and from the insane person until he regains his sanity."
However, if adolescence means after puberty, then repentance from sins and transgressions is obligatory, as is making up the missed prayers and fasts. If the number of missed acts of worship is unknown, one should continue making them up until it is highly probable that one's responsibility has been fulfilled.
