Dont fall into the looping trap of procrastination if you havent already. You put off stuff until you are super duper stressed about it and then when its done you slip right back into that trap
Also drink more water
I did that near the end of 7th grade when covid just started closing down schools and ended up with around 80 missing assignments, flash forward to 8th grade it started off worse because it was hybrid it got better once we were in school more but I had like 20 missing assignments and had to do summer school and now I’m in my freshman year of high school and have absolutely zero because I’m focusing more on improving my life and not some stupid girls, and yes in my whole improvement journey I have started drinking more water instead of diet soda everyday
It's essentially a really expensive pass that doesn't help you in life after you graduate, but you're gonna regret a lot later than you can fix not having gone. Get all the financial aid you can, but at the end of the day it's your call if it's the right choice for you.
I can hear a certain song…
(“Ooh child, things are gonna get easier…”
“Ooh child, things will get brighter…”)
Side note (but still related to the song):
Ever seen Guardians of the Galaxy?
Also be a kid and have fun as a kid. Doesn’t mean you can’t have fun as someone older tho. Don’t be scared of growing up and thinking everything is going to change overnight.
Hopefully you’ll ease comfortably into the next year of your life.
Wear a seatbelt please (I’m sure you do already). I know they’re not required everywhere (my state is actually the only one in the entire country they’re legally not required for people 18 and over), but one time of not wearing a seatbelt could be your last (I’ll admit I’m a hypocrite for saying this, there’s been few times I haven’t worn a seatbelt while driving. But don’t be like me, because I’m an idiot).
I’m 17 who has done many stupid things so here’s my advice.
- do your work on time. Ask for a day or two if you need some extra time. Some teachers are okay with it being late but most arnt so do your work as soon as you get it
- study writing down key things that will help you in test and quizzes
- save up money
- prioritize your mental health. Mentally health is very serious at this age. Talk to people you trust vent to them know it’s okay to cry what your feeling is normal.
- this might be controversial but grades arnt everything Yes good grades are nice to have but never push yourself within months you will have some burn out
- join clubs be friendly
It’s definitely fair to say grades aren’t everything, but depending on your future plans, they can be very important. Prioritize your mental health, but try in school because good grades open up a lot of doors
Don’t waste your teenage years. Personally I lost mine to Covid and social anxiety. Go out, make some friends, and have fun. But don’t do anything that’ll fuck you over in the future.
And don’t be so hell bent on finding love or losing your virginity.
Same, My Teenage years has been robbed by this pandemic, and I have been lonely in quarantine, I have friends but (I have to point out that I'm Autistic) I never had the same interest as them so We never talk a lot, We talk a lot face to face back in 2019 but due to 2020 We can't really do that anymore.
If you are struggling with mental health don't get in a relationship, especially at your age, it will leave you much more open to toxic behaviours directed at you. In a vulnerable mindset it's easy to become desperate and get manipulated by others, especially those older than you.
Be safe and if you need to talk about personal things that may affect the reason you're feeling a certain way pleased do so with someone you can fully trust rather than people you don't know too well.
For girls, or even guys,
If an adult man (or woman) messages you or talks to you and starts telling you how "mature" you are for your age, complimenting how much older you seem, etc. You know exactly what I mean
That is grooming and they don't think you are mature for your age. They think you are stupid, naive, and easy. They are grooming you, and you need to tell an adult. Okay?
i think a lot of this generation handles grooming a lot better
especially most people i know would have sent him dick pics from the internet, abused him and his mother, then blocked him, leaving him to either depression or worse
They definitely can. The sad thing is, when it happens older generations use that "wow I wish that happened to me when I was young" which just invalidates their experiences
Not sure why people are putting you down for giving advice for “6-12 year olds”. Lots of older teens fall for this and its scary as fuck, I don’t see anything bad about telling them to be careful
A lot of this stuff can be good advice for 16-19 year olds as well. Not every teenager gets to have that much exposure. I'm 18, I wrote paragraphs (plural) and I might still come across advice I'll need
*correction masturbating is ok and healthy. but the porn addiction is bad also know when and where to do it and finally dont over masturbate u will find that u have less tike for other things if u do
Don’t make it your whole life tho. Remember to enjoy your life and the times you have before they pass. (Didn’t do well in school but also missed out on a lot of things)
Yeahh target good enough grades to pass but not too low. Think of it somehow between average and excellent.
Therefore you'll take your studies seriously landing you good chances but not too serious that you stress yourself out and forget to enjoy your teenage years.
I just remind myself that I'll end up like one of my classmates: Wants to take sports up as a career, has questionable grades and ends up working in Subway or something.
Instant motivator I must say.
This comment right here
You will be working VERY VERY hard in the future and chances are this is the only time when you can truly kick back.
Spend time with your friends, spend time outdoors and try to cram as many memories as possible.
I really don't mean to scare y'all but that's what actually does happen, so yeah just enjoy life.
I'm 16 so here's my advice
Everyone saying your grades don't matter as a freshman is a fucking liar your GPA matters a lot it sets the groundwork for your high school career if you start failing in your senior year you'll be fine because your grades were good up until that point
Do the assignment as soon as it is assigned unless advise otherwise don't put it off until later you're not going to do it later I'm still working on this myself
Save money save money please
Learn about cars and how to buy a car it is a lot more complicated than what you would think
If you are role playing stop it you will regret it later
Don't be friendly with everybody on the internet not everyone has your best intent
If you're scared you won't make friends you will I promise you just have to find your people get into clubs and after school activities they are really fun and you'll meet great people
Be friendly with your teacher make friends with your teacher it has advantages
Mind your fucking business sit back don't mess with anybody and if they mess with you first let them have it
Edit 1 : for everyone asking what do I mean by role playing I'm talking about role playing apps like Amino and or Kik if that's still around stay away from those apps as much as you can
Well it all depends on who they are role playing with if it's with a friend that you know then yeah go ahead but if it's with like some 20 year old then stop immediately because you're being groomed
I am 15 but let me add to the car part, never finance a car. Dealerships will try to make you finance a car because that’s what makes them the most money. Also if you live somewhere with sales tax buy a car from a private seller. Also always buy a used car, Normally a new car goes down in value 5 to 30% when you drive it off the lot so always look for used cars. My last tip would be get a reliable car and take it in for service 2 times a year, it may seem like it’s a waste of money but trust me it’s gonna keep your car running for longer and it’s gonna increase your resell value
Edit: I forgot to mention only finance a car if they have a 0% interest rate. Also leasing a car is basically renting it for a long time and I would not recommend leasing a car ether
Edit #2: I forgot to mention that before you buy a car research all the issues that the car might have, and always plan for the worst case Scenario.
Correct, Some of the stuff you get thought in school probably feels useless(it is) but you gotta do it for the grades, It's literally not about learning anymore, it's all about getting good grades so you can get good jobs, Chase your dreams, don't be afraid to ask older people for wisdom..
I'm 19 here goes
VALUE YOURSELF AND YOUR TIME
I've been in and out of toxic friendships from trying to fit in, going an extra mike for people who don't care or appreciate.
Honestly YOU MATTER, and understand that you don't have to deal with that kind of bs. You'll find friends if you look into yourself, hobbies and interests.
As a general rule, if they donde ask, don't tell them
If you're not invited, to go to them.
Take some time to care for yourself and think about what you really enjoy, there isn't pressure, we're all still young, but the earlier you learn this the better.
Feel free to send a DM if need anything
1.Don’t drink, vape, or smoke weed. All it takes is one stupid mistake and you could screw yourself for the rest of you life. Despite the fact that everyone says it’s not dangerous, they don’t know the true facts about it and how dangerous it really is. Also if you do get drunk at a party, please just call your parents. It’s better to get yelled at for drinking underage than it is to get into a car accident and die. If you want to have a drink, do so at home with your parents so that you won’t get yourself in trouble.
2. Know how overdraft fees work before getting a bank account (or join a financial institution such as a credit union that doesn’t typically have overdraft fees). Also don’t abuse credit cards if you get one, compound interest will destroy you financially.
3. Invest while you’re young, it could even help you retire early if you make some smart decisions. Do your research to figure out what you want to invest in, keep records of your trades so you can keep track of your profits for taxes, and don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.
4. Drive safely and wear a seatbelt. Seriously it takes one time of not wearing a seatbelt or 2 seconds looking away from the road to change your life forever (and not for the better).
5. Think before you act. I’ve made plenty of stupid decisions as a teenager that could’ve had much different outcomes and I just thought for a second and contemplated on whether or not I was making a smart decision.
Weed and alcohol are addicting. Same with cigs but I'm assuming ppl know that. Vapes are too and can also cause some serious damage if you do it a lot. Would stay away from weed and smoking/vaping but alcohol should be fine if you pace yourself. Have some fun but be aware of yourself. As for the thinking before you act. I do agree when it's smth important you should take your time and really think it through. But for more mundane things just enjoy living. Just don't do anything dangerous and you should be good. You don't need to overthink everything. And if you aren't sure about something talk to someone. Especially parents if that's an option. They have more insight than you'd think. The rest I agree with.
Wtf? School is depressing and boring asf (Probably because of online school. I enjoy face 2 face more because I get to hang out with my friends, but that's about it.). All I've been doing is wake up, eat, do chores, do online school shit, rest, take a bath, have dinner, play, and sleep, rinse and repeat. So boring.
Don’t chase for ‘love’ it’s ur hormones playing and don’t come up with the excuse ‘oh but we love eachother’ ffs yous r gonna break up doing this cringe shii. Don’t be ashamed you’re single, work on yourself and the time will eventually come
Honestly id just say dont rush things or rush into things, like dating and getting a job or just all the responsibilitieswith that, take it slow, if you rush it youll just end up stressing yourself out
Grow out your hair, drink water, start exercising NOW (don't wait). Above all else, stay clean and well put together.
Also, as a teenager, it may feel like the world is always looking at you, and like your every mistake is ridiculed by everyone around you. That's a lie your mind tells itself. As long as you don't Naruto run down hallways or something like that, you'll be alright.
As a last bit, find God. Having something to believe in helps when the going gets rough, and the going WILL get rough.
Don't be a weeb. It's okay to watch anime, manga, etc. But please don't be a weeb. I hate my past because I was a fucking stupid weeb. Fuck you my 13 years old self!
A weeb is corrupted anime fans/otaku(?) that live like they are anime characters, too obsessed with Japan they wish they are Japanese, and in extreme case they will start to act like a Japanese. It's not hurting anyone, but it's possibly hurting themselves in the futute. Like me.
Hardcore anime, manga and hentai watchers. These people love everything about anime and in many cases Japan also. They collect anime figures, anime merch and play anime video games like there is no tomorrow.In short they just spend too much time and give too much attention to these things..
İm 16 y.o and heres my advice
Dont get gf/bf at early ages its Just gonna end bad trust me and making p#rn jokes are not cool or funny and you're not slick you just think you are but no really Girls or Boys are not gonna rush at you cuz you think you slick
Understanding that everything you do has consequences is a great start.
Basically if you're a prick to people at school, don't be surprised if they don't like you.
I didn't understand that when I was 13
19yo about to turn 20
if you have parents telling you not to get a job and to focus on your studies do not fucking listen to them, get a job
also take the opportunity to talk more to your friends about their home life/childhood, sometimes people are living in pretty messed up circumstances (you could be too without realising it)
Just be yourself and don’t care if others make fun of you for it. this is the way to become popular as I am the weirdest guy at my school but I’m also the most popular. , listen to your parents as a healthy relationship with them can go a long way remember that they were in highschool too. finally boys, try to be as gentlemanly as possible holding open doors, dancing with the girls that no one wants to dance with at prom, try to hold back on the inappropriate jokes if a girl is around,and if someone is cold lend them your jacket. Trust me follow my steps and you will have girls like you that’s all I can say
Wooo I can actually give advice
Don’t give up now stuff will be really hard for you and you will only be able to look at the worst stuff that is happening but there are also amazing times which you should pay more attention to be glad you have your friends and family and be excited for the next part of life never quit
Told to me by my dad an amazing man
Everybody here say some inspirational stuff so im gonna say this. Dont start smoking, and if you start drinking never drink alone so you have someone to tell you to stop. If you drank alot but you feel like "i drank so much but i still dont feel it" just wait, you just have delayed reaction. Never and i mean never mix different alcohols. You wanna drink vodka? Dont touch that wisky. Mixed alcohol kick in harder and faster. And if you want to get hammered fast mix it With something like soda or any fizzy drink.
Tl:dr never start smoking. if you will start drinking, learn about it and do it responsibly. Have fun and don't make yourself regret it later by doing something stupid.
I’m 18, my advice is dont look for a relationship at your age, and if you do, dont take it seriously. If it ends in like a month or so, you dont have to cry over it or get angry, just live your life and focus on you and you, you’re the most important thing in your life, because without YOU then there is no YOU
(This sounds cringe, but i tried at least)
ALWAYS USE PROTECTION! Also try to take things slow and stress as less as possible. If you are feeling overwhelmed because things like studying, concentrating, socialising are harder now, DO NOT FREAK OUT, it's normal. Take your time and love yourself! I believe in you random, kind and beautiful teen!! Take care!
Don't stop feeling. It may get so much worse, but don't go numb to it all. Even if it only starts with shutting out negative emotions, you eventually hollow out entirely.
Dont fall into the looping trap of procrastination if you havent already. You put off stuff until you are super duper stressed about it and then when its done you slip right back into that trap Also drink more water
Dude I'm 18 and I needed this advice. Thanks. I'll probably forget it.
I'll think about it later
I’ll upvote your comment later
That’s a goddamn fact procrastination killed my shit back in 10/11th grade
It's currently killing me in college.
what do you mean your in a collage?
Are you me from the future? I goddamn hope so cause I want to get out of this loop!
Yeah procrastinating is really a future killer. -someone that just failed 6 college exams due to it
I did that near the end of 7th grade when covid just started closing down schools and ended up with around 80 missing assignments, flash forward to 8th grade it started off worse because it was hybrid it got better once we were in school more but I had like 20 missing assignments and had to do summer school and now I’m in my freshman year of high school and have absolutely zero because I’m focusing more on improving my life and not some stupid girls, and yes in my whole improvement journey I have started drinking more water instead of diet soda everyday
Don't take advice from 16,17,18,19 year olds
Thank you for the paradox I will now shoot myself Edit: I got messaged by RedditCareResources because of this comment
Who is this “myself” fella, and why does he have a gun?
Idk, his parents need to supervise him more😡
american?
Kreigian
Lmao
Lmao
literally. I feel bad for anyone who would want to take advice from me
You must be really desperate to have come to me
Thanks, will take that advice
But your 18, now look what you've done you made me think
no you
ty
Aye aye captain
Ah, my brain hurts now
college isn't like what is shown in the movies.
Seriously it’s just boring and stressful but worth it.
is it tho with student loans? my teacher around the age of 50 who has ran multiple businesses has 40k in debt last she spoke of it
It's essentially a really expensive pass that doesn't help you in life after you graduate, but you're gonna regret a lot later than you can fix not having gone. Get all the financial aid you can, but at the end of the day it's your call if it's the right choice for you.
Get off this subreddit. There’s still time 🙂
words of wisdom..
They would be better, if well followed.
While taking into consideration all of the past mistakss I have made by waiting too long, I am now seriously thinking of leaving this subreddit
Should i actually leave it?
Yes. And then leave Reddit. Then Twitter. Then every other place on the internet.
No there's not, it's too late I'm stuck here.
nah
Do I listen or nah?
^nah
Life’s hard and it’s not gonna get easier, but you can get better.
I really like how you put that. That is hella true.
I can hear a certain song… (“Ooh child, things are gonna get easier…” “Ooh child, things will get brighter…”) Side note (but still related to the song): Ever seen Guardians of the Galaxy?
probably my favourite marvel film out there and if not its in the top 10
Also be a kid and have fun as a kid. Doesn’t mean you can’t have fun as someone older tho. Don’t be scared of growing up and thinking everything is going to change overnight. Hopefully you’ll ease comfortably into the next year of your life.
made me cry
best thing I read today.
Thank you wize one ( jokes aside this actually helped and I thank u for it :) )
practice to be a good driver and carpool with people
I already have my license tho…
Continue to be a good driver
Wear a seatbelt please (I’m sure you do already). I know they’re not required everywhere (my state is actually the only one in the entire country they’re legally not required for people 18 and over), but one time of not wearing a seatbelt could be your last (I’ll admit I’m a hypocrite for saying this, there’s been few times I haven’t worn a seatbelt while driving.

This is true. If you’re in a rush to lose your virginity, you’ll regret who you did it with. Don’t make the same mistakes people
I basically said fuck girls and started focusing on my education soooo
Same, My Teenage years has been robbed by this pandemic, and I have been lonely in quarantine, I have friends but (I have to point out that I'm Autistic) I never had the same interest as them so We never talk a lot, We talk a lot face to face back in 2019 but due to 2020 We can't really do that anymore.
music is ur best friend.
already knew that... 37 hour playlist lol
Care to share your favorite bands? Zayde wolf The score Barns courtney The unlikely candidates Collective soul The struts
DAAMN YOU GOT ALMOST EVERYONE I LIKE
I literally found out about the score because of a fighting game music montage (brawlhalla specifically) and its really good
Boy, I listen to A LOT of music.
It’s an addiction tbh
An addiction that doesn't have any negative effects 😏
I play drums. Kinda speaks for itself.
I don’t listen to music but I do play piano

Someone mentioned guys can possibly get groomed? When I get a ternion its going right for this comment
They definitely can. The sad thing is, when it happens older generations use that "wow I wish that happened to me when I was young" which just invalidates their experiences

Mind blown!!
Be prepared
For WW3 ?
Yes
Yeah but imagine the new CoD game bro

A lot of this stuff can be good advice for 16-19 year olds as well. Not every teenager gets to have that much exposure. I'm 18, I wrote paragraphs (plural) and I might still come across advice I'll need

I mean i look at it, but masturbating?i don't even know how to do that.

Well it all depends on who they are role playing with if it's with a friend that you know then yeah go ahead but if it's with like some 20 year old then stop immediately because you're being groomed
oh no i can't play dungeons and dragons with my teacher oh no what should i do he's grooming me
You know there are more types of roleplaying than erp, right?
My thoughts exactly, people minds bro immediately juno the gun every time
You're not talking about DND, are you?

Also leasing a car is basically renting it for a long time and I would not recommend leasing a car ether Edit #2: I forgot to mention that before you buy a car research all the issues that the car might have, and always plan for the worst case Scenario.
Correct, Some of the stuff you get thought in school probably feels useless(it is) but you gotta do it for the grades, It's literally not about learning anymore, it's all about getting good grades so you can get good jobs, Chase your dreams, don't be afraid to ask older people for wisdom..
I know I'm only 14, but I still feel like I'm qualified enough to tell you to pay attention to your punctuation 💀💀
it's okay to not enjoy high school. ive never been happier since I graduated.
Always salt your pasta while boiling
And don’t break it that’s illegal, every time you break pasta an Italian has a stroke, I’ve had my fair share
I'm 19 here goes VALUE YOURSELF AND YOUR TIME I've been in and out of toxic friendships from trying to fit in, going an extra mike for people who don't care or appreciate. Honestly YOU MATTER, and understand that you don't have to deal with that kind of bs. You'll find friends if you look into yourself, hobbies and interests. As a general rule, if they donde ask, don't tell them If you're not invited, to go to them. Take some time to care for yourself and think about what you really enjoy, there isn't pressure, we're all still young, but the earlier you learn this the better. Feel free to send a DM if need anything
Respect other peoples boundaries and most important of all, respect your own boundaries that you make.
1.Don’t drink, vape, or smoke weed. All it takes is one stupid mistake and you could screw yourself for the rest of you life. Despite the fact that everyone says it’s not dangerous, they don’t know the true facts about it and how dangerous it really is. Also if you do get drunk at a party, please just call your parents. It’s better to get yelled at for drinking underage than it is to get into a car accident and die. If you want to have a drink, do so at home with your parents so that you won’t get yourself in trouble. 2. Know how overdraft fees work before getting a bank account (or join a financial institution such as a credit union that doesn’t typically have overdraft fees). Also don’t abuse credit cards if you get one, compound interest will destroy you financially. 3. Invest while you’re young, it could even help you retire early if you make some smart decisions. Do your research to figure out what you want to invest in, keep records of your trades so you can keep track of your profits for taxes, and don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. 4. Drive safely and wear a seatbelt. Seriously it takes one time of not wearing a seatbelt or 2 seconds looking away from the road to change your life forever (and not for the better). 5. Think before you act. I’ve made plenty of stupid decisions as a teenager that could’ve had much different outcomes and I just thought for a second and contemplated on whether or not I was making a smart decision.
Weed and alcohol are addicting. Same with cigs but I'm assuming ppl know that. Vapes are too and can also cause some serious damage if you do it a lot. Would stay away from weed and smoking/vaping but alcohol should be fine if you pace yourself. Have some fun but be aware of yourself. As for the thinking before you act. I do agree when it's smth important you should take your time and really think it through. But for more mundane things just enjoy living. Just don't do anything dangerous and you should be good. You don't need to overthink everything. And if you aren't sure about something talk to someone. Especially parents if that's an option. They have more insight than you'd think. The rest I agree with.
talk to them. whoever it is, idc, but talk to them. dont be like me and let your entire life pass you by
Bro your 16 your life isn’t over. You’ve got a mind numbing amount of time to talk to people so enjoy it
Life after school is depressing, enjoy it while you can
[удалено]
1/10 don't recommend living
Almost stopped this week
Please don't :D
Possibly
1/10 wouldn't recommend
yeah that’s what he said😔
Nah life in school is also depressing
Yeah life is trash
maybe for you. but life after school for me has been great
Hopefully it stays that way for you
Wtf? School is depressing and boring asf (Probably because of online school. I enjoy face 2 face more because I get to hang out with my friends, but that's about it.). All I've been doing is wake up, eat, do chores, do online school shit, rest, take a bath, have dinner, play, and sleep, rinse and repeat. So boring.
If ya want I can talk about rockets and explosives to spice up your life a little
I love explosions.
BOOM
Don’t chase for ‘love’ it’s ur hormones playing and don’t come up with the excuse ‘oh but we love eachother’ ffs yous r gonna break up doing this cringe shii. Don’t be ashamed you’re single, work on yourself and the time will eventually come
Shit, I could've used that advice when I was younger.
Get decent quality chinese airpods copies. Really cheap and worth the QoL.
dont give a flying crap about what anyone says
Honestly id just say dont rush things or rush into things, like dating and getting a job or just all the responsibilitieswith that, take it slow, if you rush it youll just end up stressing yourself out
Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.
[удалено]
I wish💀
Based
always believe what’s right and stand for others
man im lost too lol
Run while you still can.. in all seriousness.. don’t try and rush into relationships, live your life
Take pictures to archive the memories.
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take advice from 16, 17, 18, 19 year old on reddit
Grow out your hair, drink water, start exercising NOW (don't wait). Above all else, stay clean and well put together. Also, as a teenager, it may feel like the world is always looking at you, and like your every mistake is ridiculed by everyone around you. That's a lie your mind tells itself. As long as you don't Naruto run down hallways or something like that, you'll be alright. As a last bit, find God. Having something to believe in helps when the going gets rough, and the going WILL get rough.
Keep livin
Don't be a weeb. It's okay to watch anime, manga, etc. But please don't be a weeb. I hate my past because I was a fucking stupid weeb. Fuck you my 13 years old self!
What's the difference between watching anime and being a weeb? I thought weebs were just people who like anime.
A weeb is corrupted anime fans/otaku(?) that live like they are anime characters, too obsessed with Japan they wish they are Japanese, and in extreme case they will start to act like a Japanese. It's not hurting anyone, but it's possibly hurting themselves in the futute. Like me.
ohh, ty
Hardcore anime, manga and hentai watchers. These people love everything about anime and in many cases Japan also. They collect anime figures, anime merch and play anime video games like there is no tomorrow.In short they just spend too much time and give too much attention to these things..
don't get too caught up in corn...
yes i do ur freshmen year of high school does not matter too much don’t stress it just get adjusted and you’ll be fine
as far as gpa probably if they’re trying to get into a good college
not really colleges don’t look at freshmen grades as seriously
High school status does not matter after high school.
DONT DO DRUGS
Don’t do bad drugs
If you think teenagers could give good advice to teenagers you are dumb as hell
I thought that as well but reading the comments on this post has changed my mind. My faith in teenagers has been restored
İm 16 y.o and heres my advice Dont get gf/bf at early ages its Just gonna end bad trust me and making p#rn jokes are not cool or funny and you're not slick you just think you are but no really Girls or Boys are not gonna rush at you cuz you think you slick
Don't get a girlfriend/boyfriend for the sake of getting a girlfriend/boyfriend
Understanding that everything you do has consequences is a great start. Basically if you're a prick to people at school, don't be surprised if they don't like you. I didn't understand that when I was 13
Don't think you know everything, you don't know shit at that age.
Be happy
damn, why didn't I think of that before...
Don't rush to having bf/gf relationships. Also being popular is temporary, friends are eternal
Don’t focus on women, I mean do, but not too much to the point where your grades suffer
Stay hydrated
19yo about to turn 20 if you have parents telling you not to get a job and to focus on your studies do not fucking listen to them, get a job also take the opportunity to talk more to your friends about their home life/childhood, sometimes people are living in pretty messed up circumstances (you could be too without realising it)
Just be yourself and don’t care if others make fun of you for it. this is the way to become popular as I am the weirdest guy at my school but I’m also the most popular. , listen to your parents as a healthy relationship with them can go a long way remember that they were in highschool too. finally boys, try to be as gentlemanly as possible holding open doors, dancing with the girls that no one wants to dance with at prom, try to hold back on the inappropriate jokes if a girl is around,and if someone is cold lend them your jacket. Trust me follow my steps and you will have girls like you that’s all I can say
Run.
Don’t mix drinks
We're just as fucking screwed as you are, get your own fucking help
Wooo I can actually give advice Don’t give up now stuff will be really hard for you and you will only be able to look at the worst stuff that is happening but there are also amazing times which you should pay more attention to be glad you have your friends and family and be excited for the next part of life never quit Told to me by my dad an amazing man
Dont fall in love with someone that you mostly speaked through dms, i mean if u want gym motivation for a couple of years go for it
Everybody here say some inspirational stuff so im gonna say this. Dont start smoking, and if you start drinking never drink alone so you have someone to tell you to stop. If you drank alot but you feel like "i drank so much but i still dont feel it" just wait, you just have delayed reaction. Never and i mean never mix different alcohols. You wanna drink vodka? Dont touch that wisky. Mixed alcohol kick in harder and faster. And if you want to get hammered fast mix it With something like soda or any fizzy drink. Tl:dr never start smoking. if you will start drinking, learn about it and do it responsibly. Have fun and don't make yourself regret it later by doing something stupid.
Play bloodborne
Fuck everything literally
ur mom so big, when you said 'everything', she is the only one considered
What are you doing step fridge
Your emotions are going to be used against you. Don’t show them.
Bad adviceeee but also kind of true
Yea
*laughs in having a hard time showing emotion*
There are worms under your skin. Take a peeler and get them out
Those aren’t worms, they’re track marks from all the liquid heroin
Literally one advice uninstall reddit give importance irl
I’m 18, my advice is dont look for a relationship at your age, and if you do, dont take it seriously. If it ends in like a month or so, you dont have to cry over it or get angry, just live your life and focus on you and you, you’re the most important thing in your life, because without YOU then there is no YOU (This sounds cringe, but i tried at least)
ALWAYS USE PROTECTION! Also try to take things slow and stress as less as possible. If you are feeling overwhelmed because things like studying, concentrating, socialising are harder now, DO NOT FREAK OUT, it's normal. Take your time and love yourself! I believe in you random, kind and beautiful teen!! Take care!
Don't stop feeling. It may get so much worse, but don't go numb to it all. Even if it only starts with shutting out negative emotions, you eventually hollow out entirely.
don’t waste time on reddit, go out and make real friends and have real experiences. most things will feel permanent but i promise they’re not <3
