Mark 16:5 after Jesus Resurrection when the Mary’s go to anoint him but find this kid (an angel) instead.

I wonder what was exactly meant by the word “youth”? I was just thinking that if they referred to him as looking like a youth, and some of the Disciples weren’t very old themselves at the time (John @ 19yrs old? Maybe 18?), was this angel appearing as a ten year old?!

How is anyone supposed to answer a question like that. If an age is not given then we don’t know the age!
 
He was an angel, and therefore as old as the universe itself.

The women saw beauty, which in the human world is associated with youth. The angel could have appeared old if he had so chosen, but it was the dawn of a new age, a time of new life, new beginings.
