Any advice to a teenager from an adult?

Question

Thanks.

Answer 1

Enjoy it while it lasts, because you're only young once.
For the same reason, spend it wisely.

Answer 2

Listen to what older people have to say and learn from their mistakes.

If you watch football on TV, you'll notice that coaches always say that the key to winning the game is to avoid turnovers and penalties, i.e. not making mistakes. The same is true about life in general.

So how do you avoid making mistakes? To avoid making mistakes you either need to have great judgment, learn from others, or make your own mistakes and learn the hard way.

Having great judgment is a blessing, but experience is usually the foundation for problem solving skills and judgment in general.

If you don't have experience, then you either learn from others or learn the hard way.

Learning the hard way is inefficient. And some mistakes are so destructive that irreparable harm may result.

So the most efficient way of avoiding mistakes is to learn from people with experience, usually older people. But you still need to examine their advice and decide for yourself if you should follow the advice.

Answer 3

Do as much learning as you can away from school. Remember, it never hurts to learn too much. Be smart. Don't do drugs or break the law. Be courtious of others. Help those less fortunate than you, and even if you're poor or homeless, spend time helping the community. If you are good to others, if you work hard and don't take hand-outs, if you help the elderly and the young children, the community will reward you in time. That's the way of the world. But you have to be patient. If you lost patience and start wanting and demanding, you won't be rewarded. And always, always learn as much as you can whenever you can. School only teaches you so much. There's so much more to the world.

Answer 4

No matter what he advice you will not follow it you will have to experience things on your own pace. What an adult tells you not to do you will try atleast once. So the only advice is make choices that you can live with and look your self in a mirror and not feel guilty.

Answer 5

What a very nice start for young person like you, you will succed because you seek advice.

You had only one life and one chance, to do the things you have to do, only one opportunity, so reach for your dreams and make it come true

Seek a job that you will enjoy doing for the rest of your life, if you do, its just like not working at all.

If you a had goal in life, like any endevour, the secret of success is reading , practice and perserverance

Enjoy life and be happy with little things.
Do all the things you want to do, as long it is not against your values and the law of the land.

Answer 6

Wait until you're a little older before you "put out", keep your grades high (it costs a shitload of money to re-do high school courses in college), stay in touch with your friends, enjoy being young, take long walks by yourself, be good to your family, don't get a job until you have to, and if you already have one - save as much money as possible, don't procrastinate, don't use bad language (as little as possible), get to know your grandparents, be nice to animals, listen to your music loud - one day you'll find yourself turning it down....,don't rush growing up, and love yourself for who you are.

Answer 9

You might not believe that your parents are there for you but Be it a fight with friends, a rough time dealing with school and the peeps in your class or the big problems like bullying, sibling rivalry, self-esteem problems, depression and suicide they are there for you.
Believe in yourself
Be who you are ( it is better to be hated for who you are than to be liked for who your not)
Someone who doesn't know himself can never really know anyone else
Someone who doesn't love himself can never really love anyone else
live life to its fullest and enjoy it you never know when your day may come.
