Any advice to a teenager from an adult?

Thanks.Any advice to a teenager from an adult?
Enjoy it while it lasts, because you're only young once.


For the same reason, spend it wisely.Any advice to a teenager from an adult?
work hard at everything you ever do nothing is ever free,be good,school is really important ,your parents are probably right,be yourself ,dont give in to peer pressure,wait for marriage or at least as long as you can
Don't ever fall prey to peer pressure. It will lead you to do stupid things. Keep away from drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol, and the rest of your life you will thank yourself.
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.
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.
depends on what really matters to you...


but all the advices above are very, very important.


however, pursue the things that make you happy!
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.

Formal education is a waste of time.
What ever you are thinking about doing, I will know because I have already done that.





The parents always use that one even if they never did any of that stuff.
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.
I could go through and try to detail advice in this answer for you, but honestly, there is so much to learn and so much growth that happens during these years (really between 12 and 30! i’m still going through some of this development myself) my best suggestion would be to find some good mentors - powerful women you want to be like, or can look up to and learn from... you might find a few in real life, which would be great, otherwise read biographies on some women you'd really like to be like or who you respect a lot. you might want to pick women in a few different categories, i.e. business, politics, spirituality, etc... this doesn't need to be limited to women, but i think it makes it a little easier to connect when you are looking at your own sex.





I will give you a couple points of advice that are important to me to get you started, but everyone will have something different to offer and the closer they are to your situation the more useful there advice may be…


1) You can’t ever completely know yourself, but try to spend some time on this because it is very important. When I say know yourself, I don’t mean what you like to eat, who you have a crush on, etc… I mean to be honest with yourself about how you react in different situations, what your strategy is for making yourself happy, how do you “really” treat others, etc..


2) Watch closely other people’s mistakes and try to learn from them - as well as you own – if you can learn from other people’s mistakes it is a great advantage and saves you the time making them yourself.


3) Try to stay close with your parents and family, even though this may seem hard at times, they will be a part of you life forever and it’s important to keep these relationships as healthy as possible – if you don’t this will come back to haunt you later in life when you are starting relationships, or a family of your own.


4) Always remember to respect yourself. Other people may come and go throughout your life, but you are going to be stuck with you – and your choices – for and long, long time.


5) Treat others the way you would want them to treat you, be grateful for what you have – there are a lot of people who have less and always remember to “give back” to the world.


6) the last bit of advice i have is to listen to the song ';sunscreen'; by baz luhrmann and do your best to follow the advice - it pretty much covers all the important stuff - here's a link to the song:

here are the lyrics :)








'Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97: Wear sunscreen:





If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.





Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.





Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blind side you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.





Do one thing every day that scares you.





Sing.





Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.





Floss.





Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.





Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.





Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.





Stretch.





Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't know.





Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.





Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.





Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.





Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.





Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.





Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.





Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.





Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.





Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.





Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.





Travel.





Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.





Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.





Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.





But trust me on the sunscreen.
Learn from other people. Make your own judgements, and believe just anything or just anyone. Get an after school job, and concentrate on everything that you do! Study before tv.
life comes at you fast so take each day as a gift
save herself for marriage
rebel, thats what i did
trust me you dont realy know what your doing. honest
Don't try to grow up too fast. Enjoy beeing young and care (bill) free.
If you're under 18, then get the hell off this site!
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.
listen to your parents
what kind of advice ? regarding what?...
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.
Behave, get good grades, listen to your parents and wait for sex until marriage...
Believe in yourself. Follow your heart. Honor your mother and father, but don't let them control your future. Find a religion that best suits your needs. Get a good education.
Yes, I have lots of advice. I'm a guidance counselor.





Study your butt off, get scholarships to go to college, pursue the career of your dreams, and never lose your determination.
have fun while it lasts
