Juvenile just means kid. It doesn't mean bad kid. You're thinking of the term "Juvenile Delinquent".

I was confused by what they meant as well. Afaik juvenile just means young person. But I'm in England, maybe in America it has other connotations? Idk

It just means kid. There's no value, good or bad, attached to the word juvenile in the US.
