hehe, dont be so concerned with these things. The average 17yo can build their own website, program servers, type 160+ words per min., run dozens of pieces of software, setup routers and firewalls, setup networks, repair networks, run all electronics, play at least 3 sports, and two or more of many different trade skills. ..and thats not even what they are going to school for.

Around here we add farming, hunting, fishing, logging, gun repair, auto repair before they are 20yo.
