Best Answer

Golding uses pre-adolescent boys in Lord of the Flies because being pre-adolescent although they are becoming mature, they still have the potential to be savage. If Golding had used adults, the uncivilized events that took place on the island wouldn't have occured and he would be unable to prove his point, his point being that all humans are evil deep down. As teenagers, it would be easier to let their lack of civility affect their actions and decisions.
