Nutrition is a huge problem. Nobody talks to us in school about what's okay to put in your body and what isn't. You have girls eating two bags of hot cheetos for breakfast, literally on a weekly basis.

They probably know it's bad just don't care, and there are courses that cater to health and nutrition if people choose to take them.

School in my opinion should be giving teens practical information (cooking,paying taxes ect.) regardless of ones path in the future.

All of those are easy to learn on your own, teens (especially 17+) should be taking responsibility and teaching them selves these things instead of complaining it's not taught in high school (which it is if you choose to take those courses).
Also, for Canada, when tax forms are sent out it includes a booklet that fully details what to do and explains it all not sure what U.S is like.
Probably the biggest problem is teenagers expecting their hand to be held all through life and a lot of them lack initiative, high school was also relatively easy (in Canada at least) to where people who barely attend are given free passes and graduated without learning anything.
