I want to make the most of my life while I am still young. Anything you'd like to say? Is there anything else you want today's teenagers to know? What do you wish you had done or accomplished when you were young/younger? Anything goes.
Thanks and have a nice day.Adults: What advice do you have for teenagers today?
Finish studies...think for yourself...take responsibility for your actions...do not abuse your body...this is the only one you got!Adults: What advice do you have for teenagers today?
Be wary of everyone, even your friends. Most people are out for #1.
Be wary of most guys. They usually want to get into your pants and will say and do anything to get there. Not all, but most. Guys, even though your hormones are raging and sometimes take control, try to be in a relationship for the person, not the sex. The wildness you experience when you are young may some day come back to haunt you.
Listen, actually listen to what your parents say, and think about their reasoning if they deny you something. It's usually in your best interest.
Listen more to your grandparents, if they're still alive, and find out more about their lives before you. A lot of people reflect back on not spending enough time with their parents and grandparents when they could have.
Watch less tv and do more. How many people do you know have said, 'dang, I wish I'd have those 20 years back spending time with friends so I could have watched a movie or tv show instead.';?
Listen to music at comfortable levels. Always wear ear protection when cutting grass or other loud activities. Hearing loss, even slight, cannot be regained. Do you want to have to walk around with a hearing aid all day?
Brush and floss the heck out of your teeth daily. Most older people have bridge work, crowns, fillings and yes, the false teeth. Save them now while you're young. You will be very thankful of that one in the future.
Slow down every now and again to evaluate your life and where you are. Where do you want to be and how do you get there? Don't go through life with blinders on, just taking it as it comes. Come up with a plan to reach your goals.
And lastly, if you can afford it, go to college. So many more opportunities present themselves with a college degree vs. a high school diploma.
Best of luck to you in your future!
I wish someone had told me that, to a degree, it really does matter what your major was in college it is. It's hard finding an office job with a BFA in theatre. Trust me.
It still shows you went to college, but... I just tell people I have a BFA and don't say what in unless they ask, because when I tell them they don't take me seriously. They clearly don't think about all the art history, theatre history, american/british/world lit, composition classes, and language classes I took. Not to mention the summer I studied abroad. They hear ';theatre major'; and think ';slacker';.
Not to sound bitter, just something to think about.
My #1 advice is that love can wait. Figure out what you want to do for a career, and go to college to get a degree in that field. Find an awesome job, buy a house, and basically get enough money to be self sufficient. After you do that, then you can settle down and think about finding love.
Embrace every single moment. It goes by too quickly, and before you realize it does, it is too late. Live! That is the best advice I can give you. But do so responsibly so as not to mortgage your future. Have Fun!
Oh yeah, and get credit early and don't mess around with it. If this the only thing you listen to from all of this advice, you will go far.
get braces if you need them!! cause they're more annoying and costly to get when you're older. also, dont let any of your decisions be effected because of someone you have a crush on. live life to the fullest, and respect your parents.
counciling
My advice would be to get laid while you can
...Experiment with as many illegal drugs fast as you can.
Save up your money and take trips. Take advantage of x-fares with Airtran airways. Don't be snobby when choosing new friends, the ones you're least likely to introduce yourself to are always the ones that you have the most fun with and their friendships will last until the golden years. Don't think you have to be in love and be married. And don't worry, just let life take its flow. You don't have to follow the All-American Dream to be happy.
Listen to your parents because they have ';been there done that'; they honestly know what is best for you. Stay in school and at home if you can. It is much cheaper to live at home than it is to live on your own.
I would say not to let what others think of you matter so much. Trust me, when you are an adult, living on your own, with possibly a family and bills, a career, what your peers thought of you is not going to matter. It's hard to ';fit in'; and be popular but what matters is becoming a decent and responsible person. I wish I wouldn't have taken friends/peers opinions to heart like I did. All you end up doing is conforming to someone Else's opinion of what is. BE YOURSELF!!!! You will respect yourself and be able to look back on your teenage years with pride.
Also, leave others alone who are different. Not everyone needs to fit the mold. What would the world be like if everyone was cookie cutter identical?
advice that I have for teenagers today
dont do drugs
dont drop out of school
work hard
be responsible
trends and fads are worthless at the end
Take your chances when they come. Always be prepared.
1. Stay away from Rap and Hip Hop and those that listen to it. It celebrates criminal behavior, hatered and perversion. It cannot lead to anything good.
2. Focus on your future. Save money, start working toward some avocational goal, be it apprenticeship, education or building an enterprise.
3. Stay away from drugs, tobacco and alcohol. They are distractions and poison. Nothing good can come from them.
4. Do not deny yourself small pleasures, but do not let the pursuit of pleasure to be the focus of your ambition.
5. If at all possible, find a job you love. If you can manage that, more than half the battle is won.
6. Be good to others. Be fair with others. Own up to your mistakes and learn from them.
7. Find a significant other that shares your goals and vision. The love and intimacy that comes from a good relationship can make the good times more joyful, and the bad times bearable.
8. Do not waste energy on hate.
9. Keep an open mind.
10. Good friends are rare and wonderful. Cherish them, and treat them like the valued posessions that they are.
11. Obey the rules as much as you can, and when you don't, make sure that what you do leaves you feeling good about yourself.
12. Don't litter. Don't pollute. Leave the place in a little better shape than when you found it.
13. Help out when you can, but choose your actions wisely. Do not foster greater dependence. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats forever.
14. Learn from other's mistakes.
15. Respect and celebrate your elders. They've been at it longer than you, and just might be able to show you a trick or two.
There is no redo or reset button on life,
sex is not a game,
people are not possessions,
you will pay taxes,
we all die,
find a good mate or wife or husband who loves you and is good with money, not really rich just stable.
DO NOT USE ILLEGAL DRUGS!
Hurry up and get a job while you still know everything. hahahah
Just kidding. If I had a chance to do it again I wouldnt of partyed away the first 10 years after i graduated
I would of quit smoking pot then and married my highschool sweetheart Wendy (4years) together gone. (because weed)
Just enjoy yourself back up your friends wear condoms YYYEEEEHHHAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!
I believe that you should make the most of your high school years by trying out for sports, drama, rally - whatever peaks your interest. Do not cave in to peer pressure. Find yourself before you give yourself to another. It will make you both stronger people individually as well as a couple.Develop a good work ethic and save the majority of your money for the future. Open the door to opportunity when it knocks as it only happens once and then you kick yourself the rest of your life for missing out. Respect other peoples beliefs even when they don't respect yours because that makes you the better person. Develop your own beliefs and stand by them. Have fun no matter the situation.Look for the positive so the negative won't age you prematurely. Good luck in whatever you do.
My advice to teenagers today is for them to continue focusing on school, and their relationships with their family %26amp; loved ones. Avoid being out in the streets all times of night because the streets have nothing to offer and try to make something of themselves cause noone will hold their hands throughout life.
I would have paid attention more in school and I think I would have gone against the norm a little. The main thing is : Have Fun!
Mine is, son if you think of asking this girl out, then put your head down so I could smack it. Besides good girls will destroy your soul!
Focus on school.. That's my #1 advice... Try to particapate in extra curricular activities in school, so you can gain knowledge and experience in different things... Knowledge is power. Don't grow up soo fast, by getting married or having babies soo young... Just focus and you, and be you. I'm only 23, but I wished I would have focused in school before.. Now, I would definately be a lot further than I am now...
For teenagers I would say I guess you are starting to learn about your body and make sure you don't use your body for sex like until you and your partner are like 20 and older.BE CAREFUL with whom your partner make sure she/he is your type.Please do not use drugs like smoking and alchol so your body will be healthy at all times.Have fun at all times but do not get in troubel !!!!
Try always to be honest
Study hard to learn more each day
Love your parents
Be a good friend
Try to have always a smile on your face
Choose good when you pick some one to be your lover
Never cheat him
Hope you´ll do it well... HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
Stay in school as long as you can. Don't smoke or do drugs. Dance like nobody is looking, sing like nobody is listening. Live life to the fullest. Hold your friends close and your enemies even closer.
~really think about the outcome to what you are doing-something you think is minor now may come back to haunt you.~
Good question! This is the advice I'd have given myself.
1. It's never too early to decide what career you want to get into. Think long and hard about this, because it can be difficult to change jobs midstream.
2. This too shall pass! High school is NOTHING like real life. There is nothing so liberating as graduation day.
3. Do not not not not worry about what others think of you. Make your own choices even if they go against the grain. Have the courage of your convictions.
4. Enjoy the opposite sex! Learn to use the power you have over them. To put it another way, learn that you do have power over them; enjoy it but don't abuse it!
5. You are NOT fat! Learn early on that not everyone's body fits into the popular mold. Learn how to dress for your figure type; don't assume that because you don't look good in spandex that you're overweight.
That's all for now!
You have a nice day too!
I'm a teen with advice to others don't waste your education, dont treat smart people or anyone like rubbish get a brain, get a job get a life
Stay in school and get a very good education( higher paying jobs)
Do not follow in your friends foot steps
Dont fall for the first guy who says if you love me, you'll let me in your pants
Have fun do Kids things not adult things.
If you want to be treated as an adult, cause you think you know it all, get out of your mom and dads home NOW and get a job, , YOUR OWN CAR, and PAY YOUR OWN bills.
Keep your underwear on. No Really I am serious---
Stay a kid and in school as long as you possibly can. Have lots and lots of fun. This isn't to say you won't have fun when you get older, but the times are fewer and father between.
LIVE WITH NO REGRETS!
