Teenagers should be prodded by parents, relatives, the community and authority figures to grow up.
They should be, by age 14 or 15, have rather solid plans about a year or two of voluntary service in the military or Peace Corps to give something back to society.
They should realize and accept that they are expected to go to college or trade school or some kind of apprenticeship program so that they will be able to provide for themselves materially.
Parents should also raise them to be God-fearing and God loving.
Each child should be educated to the fact that it is her destiny to self-realize, a societal and divine expectation.
With these expectations, and the child having learned to work, should assist them into transitioning from childhood into a productive, successful, happy adulthood, wherein they are producers, and not just takers.
