The pupils are larger in children and teenagers than any other time of life. (Smallest as infants and as very old).
There is a big difference between having big pupils (that react normally) and having dilated pupils that don't react to light or attempts to focus.
If the latter a visit to a neuro-ophthalmologist is in order.
