Aside from what has already been said, there's Macne Nana English, although her quality isn't the best. There's also Miku English, but again, not very good quality; she is likely to get a V4 English update, but no clue when. I personally don't think Sonika is bad quality, but I'm probably biased to like her more than most; also she's 17, I'm not sure I'd count that as young teen. But if we are counting 17 as young teen then there's YOHIOloid, who is also 17. Then there's Gumi English, which is pretty good quality, and a V4 update for her is coming, but we don't know when. Also there may be an IA English coming out, but that's not confirmed. Then there are quite a few English-capable Vocaloids that are just a little older than that, such as Avanna, Prima, Luka... Plus there are ones that have no official age, like Dex, Daina, and Cyber Diva. Hope this helps a little. Gumi English's quality isn't actually that good; in the V3 era she was popular because her pronunciation was better compared to other Japanese English vbs but she had a lot of glitches and choppiness issues. In fact I would say Miku English is higher quality than Gumi English if it wasn't for the former's terrible pronunciation and accent. Nana English is pretty good but she was discontinued after her V4 update was announced. Also she tends to slur a bit and pronounce R as either L or W, which sounds kind of...French?

I wouldn't count 17 as young teen, because a year later they would be legal adults. The age group I assume Ness is talking about is 10-15. But I think whether a Vocaloid is "young" should be based off the age the vocal sounds like, rather than the age of the character. Dex and Daina are young sounding but more like 17+ rather than under 16. Cyber Diva is a mature soprano, so I'd categorize her as a adult vocal. Avanna, Prima, and Luka are character-wise young adults but they are adult vocals. Yohioloid is the only true teenage English vocal there is, and he is the second youngest English vocal. But I think the only ones that would "pass" for the age group of 10-15 are: Oliver, Rin, Len (if you put enough gender factor on him, otherwise he sounds like a mature woman), Fukase, Ruby, Gumi, Miku, Nana, and Sonika. Dex and Daina also could, but more towards 15+ than the ones I mentioned who could be anywhere between that age range.
