I used to think so too. At 16 I formed new believes...or changed some. Now, two years later, my beliefs have changed.
What I've learned?
There is no one time to form beliefs. The time is always. You go out into the world and experience it. You read and write and talk to new people and listen. Things you'll hear will change your mind constantly. You just always got to be open and aware that not everything read or heard is correct, in general or for you.
I try and constantly be learning. I do this through talking to people and reading about numerous things. I was brought up catholic and for a long time was very religious. Now I am undecided. I know I am not catholic, and pretty sure I am not christian at all. I don't know what I believe, and I am fine with that. It'll come with time, whenever that may be.
My point it. It is not important to know all the answers, but know the right questions and never stop asking.
...hehe. I just went all...philisophical (of sorts) on you. Sorry there. I just love the constant learning and discovery of life! *grin* Hope I didn't bore ya.
