im sixteen %26amp; i was wondering if you had any life advice..everyone who is older always says ';i wish i knew that when i was 16'; so can you tell me stuff lol.idk if you get what i mean though.It can be on school friends life money family ANYTHING!If you could give life advice to a 16 year old what would it be?
You have your whole life in front of you. Focus on your education and have enjoy your teenage years. Don't take anything for granted. Make time for God in your life as well. ----------------------------------------…If you could give life advice to a 16 year old what would it be?
1. Don't go to college right away unless you can pay for it. But get good grades in high school regardless.
2. Go to college to learn about what you want to learn about, not necessarily to start a career. Alot of people have jobs that are completely different than their degrees
3. The nerdy guys are usually the most interesting guys
4. Four years from now high school won't matter
5. Use protection, and have sex only as often as you're comfortable with. Don't assume that a guy will stick around or like you just because you let him in the, um, happy zone.
6. Somewhat related to #5 but guys will not change, especially as they get older. No, not even for you.
7. Have a good time, don't sweat the small stuff, and any other myriad of info you can also get from a motivational poster with a cat on it.
Think about the choices you make now. If you think about it all you really have to do is ask yourself one question. In ten years, will I look back at this event and say ';wow, I wish I had done that ';or will you look at the event and say';wow, I wish I hadn't done that.';
To be a little more specific and example would be cigarettes. In ten years when you might be trying to quit smoking because they are so expensive and probably completely illegal by then how would you answer that question? Or will you be in a dead end job going ';Wow, I wish I had stayed in school.';
So the best advice is to just take a minute to think about how your actions now may change your life later and you will usually find the right path on your own. Most of the people who say that didn't take time to think about the results of the actions they took (or didn't take.)
well, im 20. I am glad to not be 16 anymore. It is so nice being in college and out of high school. just do well in school so that you can go to a good college and not be at a junior college like me. Also, choose your friends carefully. i have been backstabbed so many times by my ';Best friends'; most of them have hooked up with or tried to hook up wiht my boyfriend then harass and spread rumors about me. i was given the advice to have one or two very close gf;s and that as you get older you lose most of your friends and you only end up with the one or two who will stick with you forever. AND use a condom. dont get HPV look up HPV.1 out of 2 men have it. 8 out of 10 women have it. it causes cervical cancer. get the shot NOW. i wish i knew that when i was 16...
Be aware of the fact you don't know as much about life as you think you do. And people trying to talk you out of doing something are usually right. But you can never admit that. Be patient in most everything that's important in life, you have two outcomes, you screw everything up and you get somebody to rescue you. or you really follow that little bit of doubt you are trying to bury, and don't do it to begin with. Most people have a hunch or the feeling somethings not quite right , You can't lose anything from following the hunch.
don't take anyone in your life for granted, because they are there one day, and gone the next
Also... don't take school for granted either, make the most of it, because as soon as you leave you wish you hadn't... and dont take your friends for granted... enoy every waking moment you are around them, life is too short to fight
Life is not all about having sex. Kids every day are having sex when they don't even know what it is. Don't be too much in a hurry to ';grow up.'; Look towards the positives of everything and don't get too upset when things turn out badly for you, because being angry never solves a problem. When you want something bad enough, you will get it eventually, so instead of fearing the bad, desire the good. Don't do what everyone else is doing and don't fall under peer pressure. Only do something when YOU TRULY want to do it, which includes sex, drugs, and drinking. If you want to do it, then do it, but be prepared for whatever consequences come after. I'm not saying there will be, but you never know. Live life optimistically. Keep an open mind about everything and don't be judgmental. Be willing to learn new things and try something new. Learn to live and live to learn.
If you want happiness and you think of happiness, you will have it. ';Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.'; W. Clement Stone
Its not as bad as you think
Even though you think you have no freedom, you DO and this IS the best time of life
Love your body and skin now, even if you hate it you will realise when you are older how good it was
Take care of your skin, dont over tan, moisturize.If you dont you might look like a leather boot not sexy ever.
Hes not worth it if he makes you crazy/cry/isn't interested.
Say no to drugs that you dont know what they are, if you dont know exactly what it is dont touch it
You know that thing that is so unfair and you hate your parents for?
You probably wont remember in 6 years
Unless they are very crap your parents DO want you to have fun, they just want you to be safe so dont be too harsh on them
Act your age, be you, enjoy life while your young. Dont grow up so fast just try to make your experiences as memories and not mistakes or regrets. Have fun live it up but also be smart with it. Choose your friends wisely and realize that everyone is not your friend because we have people that are out to use you and just be a hater surround yourself with real people not people that is gonna be making you do stuff you not comfortable with and always getting you in trouble. Think before you act. Pay attention in class lol at least sometimes try to because you gonna wish you did when you graduate even though a lot of us forget what we learned in class. Make your high school years fun! Dont be in a rush to graduate because when you do you gonna miss out on all the good memories with your classmates. Just be you and have fun.
Stay in school, and do your best. Don't try to be something you're not. Be the best you can be, but don't let it get to your head. Be confident. Don't do anything until you are ready. Let every choice you make be your own. Don't depend too much on money. Always care for others and be kind, it will always come out best for you. Stay away from problems whenever you can and stay on the right path. Not many teenagers like to get advice, so that shows you are open minded, which is a very good thing.
Well, I'm 17, and I just graduated. Two weeks out of high school and I'm already having regrets, sad right? Sure I had decent marks and went out all the time. I just wish I could have been better friends with certain people. It's coming to that point of my life where I know I have to let my friends go out and do what they want with their lives, but I'm finding it hard to let them go. So I sit here, wishing I was 16 again so I could redo the last year of my life, and do it right. Don't be like me and feel that my last year was missing something, make it the best year of your life :)
Really you should soak up everything. You have enough trust that you can do ALMOST anything you want to do, and little enough responsibility to be able to do ALMOST anything you want to do. Also, I know this sucks but do good in school. I have to go back to high school in September because my marks aren't good enough to get into the university programme I want to go into. I'm 20. I wish I knew that when I was your age...
There's so many things one could say.
Stay in school, learn all you can. The more the better, knowledge is true power!
Don't fall for the short term delights in life. More often than not you'll find that just because it's good to you, it's not always good for you.
No matter how life kicks you around, always be good in your heart. Keeping goodness alive inside your heart gives you strength that others can't take away.
It's human nature to look for the bad in a person or situation before they look for the good. Look beyond that and see the good!
Honor your elders, talk with them, you'll be surprised at the things you can learn.
Never listen when some one says something is impossible because it's not! If that were true, I wouldn't be here to answer your question.
In your heart is the answer to what you want and desire in life. Pick a path and throw yourself into it 100%. Stick with it and NEVER give up.
When it comes to guys, never give yourself up to the dick, ***** are a dime a dozen. Only give yourself away to a heart that is true!
The biggest obstacle one faces in life is their own fear. Face them and conquer them. Never let your fears hold you back. More often than not you'll find your fears weren't worth fearing in the first place.
Never lose control of your life or mind. Drugs and alcohol will cause you to lose both.
I hope these will help you as they have helped me in my own life. And thank you for being a person who took the time to ask a serious question on YA. I am happy to answer it!
I wish when I was 16 that someone would have told me that dropping out of school would cost me my kids and home,
Point even if school life is hard with bullies bulling you, falling your classes, not making the cheerleading team or football team. Things will get better. The sooner you start to correct the wrong in your life.
If you don't correct them now, you will have to pay for it when your older.
Start studying, make good grades and then try out for the team. Stand up to a bully by killing them with kindness, Act as if it dose not phase you or that you give a care.Soon they will leave you alone.
Smile and wave when they pass by. Act as if they are you bestfriend. Point they get mad that you waved at them, Just go up and hugh them and say hey bubby how did you like the pasrty last night? Point embarrass them in a kind way.
Fix the problems in your life now, trust in the Lord and put him first and your life will improve.
Don't have sex,do drugs, or go to those crazy parties where you know someone will slip something into your drink in high school.
Don't drop out. Will totally ruin you if you want a decent job.
Stay true to your friends - don't act ';popular'; because they will ***** about you most likely and then your old friends won't take you back
Get good grades but retain a social life. School isn't everything but DO remember that good colleges want you to belong to extra things like organizations, or helping charity, etc.
Try new things before you have no time to try them in college. Try dancing - hip/hop, jazz, etc.
Stay true to yourself and morals. Don't go smoke because it's ';cool';. You will so many of them die early because they screwed up their lungs.
Sorry it's so long. But there's alot to know!
Learn who you are.
I'm incredibly serious.
Learn who you are and don't live off of what other people make you.
I'm not saying bullshit about being ';under the influence';,
or ';don't go mainstream';,
but learn to appreciate yourself and your mind
because when you're that young, that's the most precious thing you can develop.
Also,
never stop learning.
You can stop going to school and never goto college
but never stop learning. especially things you like.
It's important- every last bit of it.
Don't follow the crowd. Make your own decisions based on good common sense.
Don't do drugs. Don't sleep with anyone till you have a ring on your finger and are married. Don't live with a guy.
Don't think because you waited to have sex till you got married you missed anything.
Love your parents, and do good to them.
Take care of them in old age, and love them.
Love God and go to church, get involved with helping people.
Then i tell you again.
I wish i was your age and know what i do know now. lol
I've heard this so much when i was younger, and i still hear that from older people.
And despite other people giving me advice, i would barely follow them in practice. Cause you only learn when you live it. You can't truly learn things in advance just from others advice, that's the sad true.
And this is my advice :x
This is a REALLY good question. I would say thaat...the things that seem like a SUPER big deal right now are not going to be a few years down the line. Don't stress out about things like school, friends, or boys because I promise you, these problems are going to be so insignificant down the line. I remember in high school getting so worked up about something bitchy a friend had said about me, or a boy ignoring me or anything like that but now I am laughing at myself. I caused myself so much more stress than was really necessary. If I could go back in time I would have tried enjoying life more because it is a really special age to be at and you should take full advantage of these years. Also, I read in your profile that you are really scared of losing your friends after high school. I have one year of university under my belt and when I came back home in April, nothing had changed. Your friends will always be there if you love them. I was super worried about that, but it wasn't like I thought it would be. My best friend is STILL my all-time bestie, not going to change EVER, and out group of friends has not changed at all. Pleeease don't worry about this! I cried A LOT last summer thinking that it would be my last time with friends. Ahhh such a good question!
I'm also 16. All I can say from what I've learned/seen through my years in life is to keep your head up and ears open. You don't know what each day will bring so being prepared is the only thing you can do. Don't do drugs ect.. all the mommy and daddy things you've heard all your life. that's the only advice one can give. No one knows what we'll say 30 years from now when we turn back saying ';I wish I knew that when i was 16';. When we do it'll be completely different from what they said to us.
Wow, intresting question. There are so many things to say but not enough time or room to say them. I could say that you have the right attitude, search for excellence. Enlightenment is not just for the bhuddists. Know this: the answer is simple, it exists all around you and it will all make sense in the end. Try to see the world for what it REALLY is and not just your perception of it.
other intresting things to ponder: there is 360 degrees behind the truth, each one unique in its own way. The key to world peace lies with each individual. thats all i got.
live life to the fullest! don't worry about being the coolest. always think positively. do your best in whatever you're doing. think about your future. RESPECT YOURSELF %26amp; your body. don't obsess over any guy. don't let anybody tell you who you are or who you're supposed to be. know what you deserve %26amp; don't you dare settle for less. practice good habits. respect your elders. take any good chance you get. volunteer. you're young still, don't be too serious. smile more often :)
WEAR A CONDOM hahah u dont want any kids. if u do drugs make sure u no the side effects. if u drink dont drink and drive. make sure u no were your dudes been. do good in school go to college and get a good job that pays wells. friends are forever but boyfriend/girlsfriends are just temp. in life u only got 2 things family and religion. life is tough and if u get down and sad if u mess up dont worry get up and try again. cutting n stuff dont solve any problems it just causes more. yah thats all i got. hope this helps
welll as a 17 year old i do :p
just dont take your freedom for granted.
try your hardest in school, who cares if you'll look stupid. the people who dont try will look the most stupid in the long run.
dont stress out about little things.
dont do stupid things like drink. youve got the whole of your life for that.
it's not worth it.
dont be pressured to do what you dont want to.
trust your mum, they do know whats best for the most part. they are just looking out for you :)
hmmmmmm what else?
i wish i knew a while ago that just trust your gut instincts, theyre ALWAYS right.
think about things fully before you do it.
and remember, whatever is meant to be will be. fate is awesome :)
i think thats it :)
Life sucks, no matter who you are or what you have. So, do not feel that you are unfairly put upon, or that your life could be better if only you had this or that. Rich people hate their lives as much as the rest of us. The only way to combat this problem is to live by design, not chance. Don't wait for your ship to come in, because it will leave you sitting on the dock until you die. If you want anything, you have to get up and make it happen. Your life will be a good as you make it, but remember, life still sucks. You will never come to a point that you cannot find anything to whine about. You must simply choose not to whine.
Go on get your College education even if you have to claw your way through by your fingernails..
.
If you have any thoughts about joining the service darn sure get your B.S. degree first and take ROTC, in some form so you can go in as an officer.
.
Know I am going to get thumbs down from the guys for this one:
Don't do it just because all your friends are doing it.
Guys go out with easy girls for one reason and it ain't marriage and kids.
And if a guy is telling you he loves but blah, blah blah just remember we were using those same lines in girls when I was a teenager to get girls in bed with us.
Steer clear of brown nosers, back stabbers and suck a$$es: They aren't your friends. They'll knife you in the back in a heart beat.
live life like you have no tomorrow, dont have regrets, dont worry about what will happen if.... just do it and have fun. you can only experiment whe you are the age you are, when you grow up you will have a job to worry about and too many risk factors to go with it..,
ok what i think u should do is chill. ur sixteen dnt worry about jobs focus on school. oh nd get involved in it like sports nd stuff. k hangout with friends and meet new ones. dnt get caught up in a relationship cus no matter what iits most likely gonna end. so stay single and keep them boyz wanting some haha. nd if ur a virgin dnt let sum dickweed get in ur pants unless u know for a fact he's the one. dnt get fooled. umm if u wanna kno more let me kno kk
I think about these things throughout my daily life, no matter what it is these these always apply.
';God will never give you anything you cant handle';.
';Live, Love, Laugh';
Don't regret anything because at the time its what you wanted.
You cant live your life without making mistakes, remember them, learn from them and apply them in your future.
Be independent, don't wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself.
You are responsible for your happiness no one else so don't let people steal your joy.
Don't be afraid of life but use caution when necessary.
Follow your instincts and watch for red flags.
Question everything, including authority.
Don't believe everything you hear.
Let the people you love know that you love them.
Be happy with yourself before you become attached to another.
Do the right thing.
Life.
it goes on.
people die, people cry. babies are born and fortune 500 companies fail.
Everyday is a gift, even if it sucks @ss.
dont make promises you cant keep. they'll haunt you in the end.
no one is perfect, so give them a second chance. forgive but dont forget. so you wont be mistreated. if someone isnt treating you right, seperate yourself from that person.
surround yourself with the ones you love. and always be laughing.
