Who has Life Advice!!!!!!!!?

I am 14 years old and I don't know I guess I just wanted to see if any one of you would have any life advice for me. If you think you know something you didn't or you learned something you wish you would have learned when you were my age I'd totally be happy to hear it. Just curious.Who has Life Advice!!!!!!!!?
Hi,


almost 40 years old now.


advice...


always use condoms - and wait to have sex until you are ready to take the risk of becoming pregnant, like, after you have finished college, have a good job to be able to best provide for your child/children, have insurance, and are married. a baby is forever.


be yourself. if people don't appreciate you for who you are they aren't worth knowing. don't let people make you do anything you don't want to. and like what you like because YOU like it, not because anyone else does.


learn to accept things. accept what you cannot change, and try to make the best of it, make lemonade out of lemons. figure out what you can do to make it better.


try to learn from everything. you are still in school, and hopefully will go on to college/university, study hard and get good grades because the college you get into will depend on it. and the education you get will open the doors of opportunity for the rest of your life. it is hard to know what you want to do for the rest of your life, but you have plenty of time, and you can always change your major or go back to school later. but, learn good study habits and get good grades now to help you with your future. it may sound trite, but a good education will get you so much farther in your career and earnings potential. and, learn about everything else, about people, about you, who you want to be. learn how to be the person you want to be... you will continue to grow for the rest of your life, if you want to.


don't grow up too fast. you have your whole life to explore sex, so why rush into it? you will be an adult out on your own before you know it, and then you will find out what being an adult really means, and it's not about clothes, and cars, and the coolest phone. it's about responsibility. about making the best life you can for yourself, and your family.


be happy. life is too short to get pissed off about everything.


if your teen years seem sucky, try not to despair. high school can suck, as far as kids go, but you won't be there forever. these are the most difficult years, and you will make a great life for yourself once you are free from high school.


don't get into drugs or alcohol. there is curiosity, but, it's really not worth it. they all fry your brain cells, make you do things you'll regret, and you could even end up addicted, dead, in jail or prison, pregnant, with an std, etc...


learn to respect yourself, and your body (see above about drugs and sex). never let a man or boy push you into sex, and make sure you are being treated with all the love and respect you deserve - and you deserve the best.


don't be slutty to get a guy. not just in sex, but also in how you dress and act. sure, it attracts guys, but it also attracts creeps.


be wise. don't allow yourself to be caught in a compromising position, or at risk of being raped or attacked. always carry cab fare and a quarter for a pay phone in case your battery dies. travel with a girlfriend when you go out, and it helps to have guy friends.


be patient with your parents. i'm guessing your parents aren't jerks, you don't seem that way. they are concerned about you, they set rules, and curfews, and all that stuff that gets in your way. they want the best for you. respect their rules and treat them well. the more well-behaved you are, the more rewards you reap - mostly, their trust. then, when you want to stay out late one night, they might let you because they know that you aren't getting into trouble.


learn to love yourself. to appreciate your good points. learn to laugh at your mistakes - and to learn from them. don't get caught up in putting yourself down, it gets you nowhere except bummed. accept the things about you that you can't change - like your looks, and learn to love how you look, your unique looks. and, learn to change the things about you that you want to improve.


don't be mean. being mean eats away at your soul.


learn to apologize when the situation calls for it, don't be too proud to attend to someone else's feelings. accept that you were wrong, made a mistake, or whatever, and try to make up for it.


think. think about how you will feel after you do something - before you do it. you have to live with the consequences of your actions for a long time.


learn to trust yourself. your judgment, your tastes, your likes/dislikes, your abilities, your strengths. stand up for your beliefs, and yourself. believe in you.


hmm, that's all i got for the moment.


Hope you have a great life!Who has Life Advice!!!!!!!!?
I think one of the most important things I ever learned is that you can never know all the answers. About life in general and so on and so forth. So keep an open mind, especially when your parents are telling you not to do something. They probably have a lot of experiences that you have no idea about and are just trying to save you a few troubles.
Okay when i was your age i wish i knew when to keep my mouth shut.


I wish i knew that, what you do now will affect your future and you need, absolutely neeed to know who your true friends are.


the ones that you rarely ever fight with and the ones you know will be there for you forever.


take a look around.


now i'm not saying ditch the ones you fight with, just maybe don't hold them so close.


but the special ones, don't let them go.


because they are the ones worth fighting for :)
To get INVOLVED. Like on a sports team, business club, drama club. you get to travel around, learn about new things, and interact with people. It helps you sooo much. And to NOT BE AFRAID to do it. I was a bit shy and didnt want to join clubs alone, only if friends joined with me. IT DOESNT MATTER ONE BIT after high school if you sucked or what. JUST HAVE FUN.





2) To not waste my time on grades. Haha, well, get decent grades unless you want to get into harvard or something. A, B, and occasional C's are ok. Don't go wasting all your time on homework teachers will probably take days late anyway.





3) to talk to my CRUSH. Yes, just TALK. Hi, Hello, Anything. Again, totally does not matter after high school. All i could have done was make myself happy. And who cares if i embarress myself? just have COURAGE and talk to him. That's what I should have told myself back then...aye, the memories. haha





very good question =)
you never know when somthing serious is going to happen so make sure you tell everyone that you love them often and spend lots of time with the people who mean the most to you. i definately regret the way i treated my parents in my early teen years, i thought i knew everything and i was a little snot all the time. make sure to stay focused on the things that really matter, like school and family and God, and not get too caught up with drama.
Smile lots and don't be shy. High school is only important in the last couple years (at least where I'm from). Friends can be better than family in lots of cases, so treat them well.





Thats just what I think.

Most people around me do not care about me at all. They care about themselves. That's fine. I care about me.
