They dont because then they will be alienated from their childhood friends. Like when Monk giatso and others told aang about that he is the avatar his friends wouldnt play with him becuase he is very powerful, etc. and with that he also admitted he never wanted to be avatar and he was upset that he was chosen to be. so they tell them when they are mature enough to understand everything and everyone around them.
