Why do you think teenagers would not think about the future, live extension 
and living past 100?

 From my meager experience teaching in High School, social sciences covered 
current social conditions and living longer is a topic that is, in fact, 
being discussed today.  Further, I lectured at a the Milken Community High 
School in Los Angeles specifically to discuss living longer and cryonics.

Many high schools have programs for health awareness and economics.  Some 
have investing programs, which contain studies on retirement and how to 
prepare for the future.

It would be highly unlikely for teenagers not to consider health and living 
longer, also since it is often the topic of their teenager magazines.

Best,
Natasha
