Many, perhaps most of the greatest achievements in human history - in the fields of art, culture, science and technology - have been brought about by teenagers. This may be because they are able to think in new and innovative ways, or their thinking is not hidebound by discredited nostrums; it may be attributable to great teachers and great schooling - including homeschooling. It may simply be the emergence of God-given talent at an early age.
Achievements, listed by age at which they were made
- 14 - Mozart wrote the opera, "Mitridate Rè di Ponto"
- 15 - Louis Braille invented the Braille system
- 18 - Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein (The Modern Prometheus) - it is only published when she is 21, however.
