How old are you ? How old are the people surfing around you ?
What about simply see which sites young people around you are surfing on, and donwload free templates having a similar look and feel ?
I'm a youth, and i wouldn't want lime green and black particularly, although it depends on how it's doen. A guy i know on the web used GuppY CMS with lime green foregronund and black bg around the areas where the content was. I think the text was blue. It hurt my eyes to check the site for updates, so i finally got him to change it. Now it's orange, which is a little better. He likes bright colors i guess
I don't think that lime green and black are particularly suitable colors if you want people to stay on your site for too long. That usually hurts the eyes. Choose nice pastel-ish colors would be the best I think. Keeping the font black, dark blue, dark green is always good. With the background a lighter color of the font looks nice particularly.
It would also depend on the content of your site. 
I agree that these two colours aren't good for this age group (which I am a part of). You should think of using brighter colours, but not to much variety - even if it's a "cheerful" web site, try limiting yourself to two or three colours. Let's say a white background (or a light grey), black text (or a darker shade of gray) and some mild colours in addition to these two "main" colours.
I agree with what's been stated mostly. Black/green can look good but often doesn't I'd suggest making a mockup of your site and then testing out various color combos and think about which you enjoy the most. Not which necessarily fits your original vision the best or which you think looks "coolest" but which lends itself well to being a comfortable, relaxing web visit.
Lol now I really wish I had a shot of that website when it was lime green. Aweful beyond belief to look at
i think the colors in mind are not all that great either.. if your looking to target a young group as the one you stated you will need a multi color site.. something that will get the attention you want from them.. i say if you are looking for ideas on sites try some sites like nick.com also try like disney site. and look how clean and bright these sites look and look at how the colors attract
Black isn't usually a nice color for children-oriented sites. You should combine your desired color with white. Green, blue and white work very well together, for example.
Besides of age group, it'd be important to know a bit more of the target group. Mostly, from where around the world are you expecting visitors? What language will the content be?
