Edit: BTW, Plex add automaticlly tag the movies, edit one by one is a crazy thing to do in my case.
You don’t have to edit your movies one by one. You can select multiple items and make identical changes to them in one step.
Here’s how to do what you have described, using only Labels and Label restrictions:
Select all the movies you want your teenagers to be able to see.
Click the ‘Edit’ icon, go to Sharing, and add the label “Teens” to the Movies/Labels field. Save.
Select all the movies you want your pre-teen kids to be able to see.
Click the ‘Edit’ icon, go to Sharing, and add the label “pre-teen,” in addition to any existing labels. Save.
Go to Users, edit your Teen users’ account. On Restrictions, add the “Teens” label to the Movies/Labels field. This will allow that user to only see movies with the “Teens” label.
Edit your pre-teen’s user account, and add the “pre-teen” label to the Movies/Labels field.
Now your pre-teens will only be able to see movies with the “pre-teen” label, and your teens will only be able to see those with the “Teens” label.
It may be a tedious job to do the above at first, but you’ll only have to do it once. As you add new movies, you’ll need to add the appropriate labels to each. You can make up whatever labels you like. You could even use your kids’ names as labels.

Thank you very much @beckfield . Really appreciated.
+1 for this, I have no idea why this is not implemented.
I just spent many, many hours creating Billboard Top* lists in my playlists to share with my kids, and now I notice they can’t see them. This is crazy to me.
This is the ONLY reason I upgraded to Plex Pass, for all family member to sync music to their phones using playlists, I guess I’m glad I didn’t do a lifetime pass, and only tried a month.
Is there any update on this, or do I just cancel my Plex Pass, and sign up for Spotify?

I’d say Spotify is the way to go
Has no sense send anybody to spotify if your library is in FLAC /ALAC
+1 This would be extremely helpful for grouping movies, sharing favorites, creating seasonal playlists (IE Its time for Christmas music folks!), grouping quality, etc…
+1 - share lists - email them as links - share between servers - download them and save - build playlists - then allow users to seek songs from other plex servers allow public viewing/listening : ) (that might be copyright infringement)
