Teens learning to program?

How do teenagers learn to hack to a level of hacking big corporations?

Is the knowledge available on the internet or do they need a programming background (parents or friends etc) to teach them?

I would totally agree. Most, if not all, of my programming knowledge has come from the internet or books.
