I'm going to jump on the use of "Young Adult" here since I am battling
the use of the term "Young Adult" in church circles.

The term "Young Adult" is used by sociology to refer to people aged
18-35. Since there are areas where it is usefull to be able to refer to
this general age range, I strongly advise against using it for people
under 18 for whom there are already terms (teenager, high school age,
etc).
