Why don't the Gospels cover Jesus a teenager?

They kind of go from Baby Jesus to a year or so before his death. What's up with that?

Interestingly enough, there's a book that is considered non-canonical, called the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. It includes the time that adolescent Jesus accidentally killed one of the neighbor kids, and had to bring him back to life.
