To be quite frank I cannot think of a single power, ability, or other skill beyond normal human capabilities that would be a good idea for any young person to have. This is simply because no matter how intelligent, studious, or well intentioned a young person is the fact remains they still barely understand the concept of responsibility, accountability (either to oneself or others), or consequences and until they are old enough and mature to do so having powers beyond the ordinary is little more than begging to warp someone’s mind just as it is developing to the point where further development is stunted at best, stagnant, or worst still regressive. Granted there are fictional accounts of young peopel either gaining or discovering powers beyond human capabilities but even in such fictionalized accounts these powers usually take a great deal of practice, trial and error, and time to handle let alone master (and that's not even taking into account the countless fictional individuals who upon either first discovering or first using their powers did use in an environment or situation that caused them to lose faith in humanity and thus take it upon themselves either to rule or destroy humanity)
