I have absolutely no idea why people are so hyped up about this. Last year I produced a 150 page study on the habits of teenagers in this society. I have also done reports on migration, the value of money, China's emergence as a world super power, and what under-18s feel about the crime on our streets- all backed up with sources and quotes and references.
Do these investment bankers really feel so desolate about Britain's youth that they get excited about this report (which, as many people before have also said, does not really correlate with many teens at all)?
Yes, there are still children who read books on investment banking and the financial times. Yes, they have read Warren Buffett's biography and Intelligent Investing by Ben Graham. Yes, there are 8 year olds who make great returns on their stocks. Yes, super-charged, financially savvy, and diamond bright children still exist, and, in my circle of 400 friends on facebook, exist in large quantities. And yes, I AM YOUNGER THAN THIS BOY. I AM A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL.
Trust me, that boy is no wonderkid. I could have done exactly the same thing, better. I have half a mind to charge up to Morgan Stanley today and see how those guys react to me. (I am planning on doing work-experience there next year anyway, they'll see me even if they don't want to.)

WAKE UP, THE WORLD. CLEVER KIDS DO EXIST.
