Have you noticed all the Flying High teen startup success stories lately...

Definitely some great business lessons to study and learn from the growing list of successful teenagers. And I'm sure it's a niche that's only going to continue to grow and open up all kinds of new opportunities. As computer access and technologies expand to teens throughout the world, we're going to have endless teen millionaires, probably billionaires...

Good on them and many more amazing stories worth reading in Google, afterall you're never too old to learn new stuff, even if you just pickup a few golden nuggets...

Donny Ouyang, although he's having some problem delivering the goods (hopefully soon)...

      Wasn't Jordan a teenager?
      Look what she turned out to be.
      Being a teenager is just the latest fad.

      lol... you're right that we dont have bills to stress over, but not necessary the freetime. Especially if you're a junior like me, things like SAT, grades, uni applications, exams, courseworks are crazy... (especially if you're trying to aim for Stanford or Wharton)

    When I was a teen I thought I was going to conquer the world. Life has a funny way of draining the energy out of a person.

      Back in the 80s/90s teens had the free times and they got into video games and programming, these days they are into video games and making money, the young ones are very talented and can do whatever they want.
