It's no surprise that teens are not taught how to harness the power of their minds.  You're not taught about the Law of Attraction and other laws that go with it.  You're not taught to focus on that which makes you happy.  You're not even taught about money.  You may have economics but many schools are not going above and beyond to teach you multiple streams of income.  You don't have to go college to be a multi-millionarie (Bill Gates is a drop out).  It's suggested that you do get a good education because it can be a great foundation for you if you no what you want out of life.
