How might the book of Proverbs be useful in training young people?

Like the book of Proverbs says right at the beginning, in chapter 1:
“Written down so we’ll know how to live well and right,
to understand what life means and where it’s going;
A manual for living,
for learning what’s right and just and fair;
To teach the inexperienced the ropes
and give our young people a grasp on reality.
There’s something here also for seasoned men and women,
still a thing or two for the experienced to learn—
Fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate,
the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women.”

It’s written to meet the needs of people throughout all stages of lives- from childhood on. What better book to teach young people how to gain Wisdom! Proverbs addresses so many different issues that young people deal with- peer pressure, making decisions, finances, sex, and how to be successful.
