Young person born to be raised in great turmoil (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teenager

'young person' is the definition.
(I know that young person can be written as teenager)

'born to be raised in great turmoil' is the wordplay.
'born' becomes 'nee' ('nee' is 'born' in French).
'to be raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'turmoil' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'nee' reversed gives 'een'.
'great' is an anagram of 'tager'.
'een' going into 'tager' is 'TEENAGER'.

(Other definitions for teenager that I've seen before include "Generate (anag)" , "Youngster" , "troublesome youth" , "Young person" , "one no longer twelve?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
