This article is concerning a young Web innovator and entrepreneur. 13 year-old Cyrus Pishevar has successfully created a Facebook application 'High School Memories'. However, he isn't the only one. Silicon Valley is populated with second generation of Web innovators. This is because writing software is cheaper and simpler nowadays. Not only that, the tools require less expert knowledge so fewer skills are needed. This has spurred teens to pursue their dreams and take risks. Risks that involve dropping out of school.

Follow your dreams. That's what you always hear from people. But what if you should fail in the process and screw up your future? I agree that you should go after what you love but you must think of the consequences first. I do feel that it is encouraging that youngsters are aiming to be Web entrepreneurs. This shows that they can achieve anything they dare to dream. But some are dropping out of school and then their careers did not take off. So what aspiring teen Web entrepreneurs should do is take a leaf out of Mark Zuckerberg's book and not drop out of school until they are absolutely certain their company will not collapse.
