The sharks are the planet
Think of the sharks as representatives of The Earth, exacting vengeance on us for what we have done to the planet.
Make sense? OK.
Now the reason why you're confused is how the film handles young people. Apparently young people are the ones who are underestimating the sharks when, in real life, the opposite is the case.
This is something that affects many films. See Civil War, for instance. The young journalist being 'too eager' to help the situation and crying when things go wrong. It's a product of the filmmakers' biases. These are usually men aged between 40 and 60, and their generalistion of younger generations rarely changes.
