The Difference Between a Boy and a Young Man

Question
Is there a difference between a boy and a young man in ruling?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The term "boy" refers to someone who has not reached maturity, while the term "young man" refers to someone who has. Therefore, the young man is obligated to the rulings, unlike the boy. And God knows best.
