Teaching a Teen

Related to the post by @friendlyFriend48 - The class I would teach would be a basic one on investing. It would be Finance 101: What a stock is, how stock markets work, bonds, CDs (certs of deposit), REITs, all that. The only assets I wouldn't discuss are cryptocurrencies because I consider them to be more speculative than something to invest in (others may disagree). As there is no assurance that Social Security will be solvent by the time today's teenagers reach retirement age (+ the fact that it barely pays expenses now anyway), young people need to know how to make their money work for them. Just putting money aside for a rainy day is good & necessary, but it's not enough by itself. Teens need to know what to do with the money they earn, why buying the latest iPhone is not a great idea & shares of Apple often are, how inflation works, etc.

we would teach Journaling  in writing and art as they can go hand in hand. why would be due to it can be a very healthy way to express  things one has hard time talking about. also can help as one can do the journaling  then go  back few months or weeks reread it and see how things have changed or just see were  ones make personal change in their life. for me Journaling  been very helpful and healing over the years.

with all the stress teen go through this i feel would be a good thing to teach teens and adults too
