Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded in adolescent digital environments, mediating information seeking, advice, and emotionally sensitive interactions. Yet existing safety mechanisms remain largely grounded in adult-centric norms and operationalize safety through refusal-oriented suppression. While such approaches may reduce immediate policy violations, they can also create conversational dead-ends, limit constructive guidance, and fail to address the developmental vulnerabilities inherent in adolescent-AI interactions. We argue that adolescent LLM safety should be framed not solely as a filtering problem, but as a socio-technical, developmentally aligned transformation problem. To operationalize this perspective, we propose Critique-and-Revise-for-Teenagers (CR4T), a model-agnostic safeguarding framework that selectively reconstructs unsafe or refusal-style outputs into ageappropriate, guidance-oriented responses while preserving benign intent. CR4T combines lightweight risk detection with domain-conditioned rewriting to remove risk-amplifying content, reduce unnecessary conversational shutdown, and introduce developmentally appropriate guidance. Experimental results show that targeted rewriting substantially reduces unsafe and refusal-oriented outcomes while avoiding unnecessary intervention on acceptable interactions. These findings suggest that selective response reconstruction offers a more human-centered alternative to refusal-centric guardrails for adolescent-facing LLM systems.
