Either young gems refers to Steven being born or back when the gems were "born" or went to earth to build their temple. I'm betting Peridot is younger, she doesn't know of the Crystal Gems, has a MUCH more modern design than most gems, found the kindergarten gem tech to be archaic(if she invented it, she'd be more nostalgic or dismissive of her old work, plus it has yellow diamond insignia and not a peridot one) and yes acts like a teenager. Crazy though:WHAT IF SHE IS A TEEN?! I mean its possible to mine peridots from asteroids, maybe they made her there relatively recently! This is just theory mind you. Yes your theory makes sense!

She also needs a parental figure (Jasper is like her mom and boss). I guess the Information she got was second hand, she probably wasn't there (not born yet) and probably Jasper or another gem told her, or maybe there is gem schools, or Peridot found a gem history book and learned it.

Plus that gem in the mural is most likely White Diamond and not Peridot, she wasn't born yet. You're talking about the middle diamond, right? If so, thank you for agreeing with me. It's obviously white. I'm talking about the one of the left, the middle one is obviously blue. No, it's white. In the picture below, compare the diamond in the middle to the diamond on the left, and tell me which one is more blue. And in case you need more evidence, notice that BLUE Diamond's section of the mural has a bluish tint. It may be hard to see, but there's blue on there, alright.
