The difference between adult and youth football helmets varies by manufacturer. Here's a list of major manufacturers and the differences between their adult and youth football helmets.
Schutt
For Schutt helmets, there are a handful of differences between their adult and youth helmets. These differences include materials, size of jaw pads, and sizing in some models.
Adult
Youth
*The only exception is the ION 4D. Both the adult and youth versions are made from PCA plastic and come with a hard cup chinstrap
Adams
There aren't many differences between the Adams youth and adult helmets other than size and length of warranty.
Adult
Youth
Xenith
With Xenith, the differences are in the details. The shells are basically the same, but you will find differences in the padding, face mask thickness, and materials used for buckles and clips.
Adult
Youth
What about the difference between adult and youth football face masks?
This also varies by brand.
Adams: Adams facemasks aren't classified as youth or adult. Any Adams facemask can be used on both adult and youth helmets.
Schutt: Schutt facemasks also can fit on both adult and you helmets. They do have face masks labeled as youth, but they are youth by design only, not size. For example, the youth flex facemasks are made of lighter weight material and have more flex to help young kids get their helmets on and off, but they will still fit on an adult football helmet.
Xenith: Xenith facemasks are size specific for adult and youth. A youth Xenith facemask will only fit on a youth Xenith football helmet, and an adult Xenith face mask will only fit on an adult Xenith football helmet. The youth facemasks also have thinner wires to keep them light weight.
On another note, there is a common misconception that youth facemasks are made entirely from plastic; however, this is incorrect. For any brand, both adult and youth facemasks are made from high quality steel, titanium, or other metals, and are coated with polyvinyl plastic to add color and additional padding.

Technically speaking, yes they can. Youth and adult helmets generally follow the same size chart. However there are a few differences between youth and varsity helmets. Adult helmet shells are made of Polycarbonate, which is a tough plastic material that absorbs much of the impact. Youth helmet shells are usually made out of ABS plastic. ABS is lighter and less expensive than Polycarbonate, but it also absorbs less impact. The cushioning in both helmets is usually the same. There are some helmets (Schutt DNA Recruit, Riddell Attack) that are built specifically for younger children, and should not be worn by adults in competition. The only other differences are that youth helmets typically have thicker jaw pads and smaller chin straps. But of course those can be switched out.
adult toilets are big because their butts are bigger
Adult and baby diapers are the same, except adult diapers are much bigger.

There is no difference between adult contacts and regular contacts. There are two kinds of contact lenses; extended wear and disposable. There are also colored contact lenses.
