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, and yes acts like a teenager. Crazy though:WHAT IF SHE IS?! I mean its possible to mine peridots from asteroids, maybe they made her ther relatively recently! This is just theory mind you.
