This is the time they should be preparing for such. I don't believe society is conducive to this today, however. With excessive dress codes, bullying from teachers of opposing views, political correctness, and so many rules, it is hard to learn to be independent. Learning independence means freedom to make mistakes without a safety net, and receiving whatever natural consquences full-strength without outside help or interference. People learn to be independent when they fail on their own and reach rock bottom and then are forced by the environment and natural laws to pick themselves back up. It is like learning to swim, you have to jump off into the deep end, and you either sink or learn to swim. It seems the current political regimes fear people learning their own power and reaching their own potential, so they promote learned helplessness as a social control mechanism.
Public assistance is about like hormones or drugs. In small doses, it can help. It gives people the means to get back on their feet. However, in large doses, it can cripple a person and make them unable to learn to be independent, just like the body learns to adjust to abnormal levels of drugs by losing the ability to produce similar chemicals. A life of ease for nothing is the worse curse anyone can put on another.
So no, it is not very hopeful that teens these days have a chance to truly be independent. However, that should not turn them off from trying. Young people can and do make a difference.
