No. The game assumes you start off as an adult. The young template is probably a good one to use for adolescents.
I had some players once play a pair of 10 year old twins.
I seem to have lost the notes I had for that campaign, but I believe I docked Str and Con by 2 and boosted Dex and Cha by 2, dropped speed to 20, and made them Small.
That doesn't look right to me now, but that was a couple years ago, I probably didn't have as good a grasp of the game then.
Side note: They were also playing a template that was flavored as having one soul split between the two of them that my friend and I found and modified. I think there were some rules about picking the same stats to put bonuses in (as they were Humans) resulted in certain bonuses and picking different stats resulted in other bonuses, so those stats above could be me remembering it wrong.
As concerro said, PF assumes you're an adult.
In D20 Modern they allow younger ages apperently and this is what they use:
Child (1-11): -3 Str/Con, -1 Dex/Wis/int/cha
Young adult (12-15): original scores
However I don't think thats quite right for PF. Maybe if you tack the young template ontop of both?
But child scores are always hard to do because they just don't really fit very well on the scale that takes a 10 as baseline.
Curse of the Crimson Throne(?) has kids in it. I don't have a copy of it though. You can ask someone in the AP thread to tell you what the stats were.
Searching a bit in the PFSRD I found these two:
Innkeeper's Child
Lamm's Lamb
The innkeeper's child is already medium size, so I assume at least a teenager, while Lamm's Lamb are most likely younger (but trained to be pickpockets)
Don't play kids. That's just creepy.

Not really. I don't think Narnia is creepy.
The really creepy thing about Narnia is that after they become kings / queens (And how does a kingdom have 4 monarchs anyway?) they spend several years ruling. At least 10 years since we see them grown up. And then, they return to England as kids. So think about this. They are 20-somethings in the bodies of teenagers and younger...

It's only creepy if you think it is. Something you want to tell us?
Lots of classic fantasy stories have young protagonists (being mainly aimed at a young audience). Especially digital RPGs, where the protagonists always seem to be 15.
There's also the summoner child from Final Fantasy 4 who was seven.

Yes but they weren't married. So they didn't have sex yet. They haven't even heard about sex. Obviously. Because if they had, they'd be married. So, it's not creepy at all. :)
Yes, that was sarcasm. That's indeed creepy.
