I would advise and teach any youngster, or oldster for that fact, how to trade Forex. I would explain how any business suffers losses and Forex is no different. I would make sure they understood they'd NEVER quit learning about Forex. I would instill the challenge, the excitement and joy that I receive from trading. When Forex is a passion, you win, but not all the time. I would teach them my view of the "battlefield and strategies." And finally, I would teach them to focus on the method, not the money. A correct method will bring the money so don't think about it. Use a wrong method and you have nothing to focus on. High Schools should, at the least, give an introductory semester class in Forex! Maybe the kid doesn't want a J.O.B.
