When can a youth petition for the extension of jurisdiction?

Before their 18th birthday
After their 18th birthday
Anytime before their 21st birthday
Only after graduation from high school

The correct answer is: Before their 18th birthday

A youth can only petition for the extension of jurisdiction before their 18th birthday. This is because once they turn 18, they are considered an adult and are no longer under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. Option B is incorrect because if the youth is already 18, they are not eligible to petition for an extension. Option C is incorrect because while they can petition before their 21st birthday, it would already be too late as they would have turned 18 by then. Option D is incorrect because graduation from high school does not determine eligibility for petitioning for an extension of jurisdiction.
