Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes use "youngster" only for very small children, but it is often used for older children or teenagers as well. Some also try to use it for themselves in formal writing (e.g., "I am a youngster"), which can sound odd; in that case, "young person" or just giving your age is more natural.
