I turn 16 in 2 days. What teenage wisdom can you share?

Question

Youryeodongsaeng · Accepted Answer

Wait until you're older to have sex... Unless you really want to have sex.

Make sure you ask, "Why?" When someone asks you out. "Why do you like me/Why do you want me to be yours?" (Trust me, it'll save you from a heartbreak).

Be in crowds that seems positive. Don't go wandering into negative crowds. I know someone who hangs out with this person. She told her mother that she's scared of her. She's scared to leave.
Don't be scared of leaving them. They were never worth your time to begin with.

If you want to go to college, study your ass off. I didn't even know that I needed to study because nobody told me nor gave me that idea. (That's because I was kinda slow and never knew studying existed until I got into my 11th year of highschool. I'm a senior now). If you are unable to pay for college, you always can get your grades up and set a goal for the scholarship you want when you get into 12th grade.

Don't be afraid to look for a job when you're 16. When you want to be independent and want your own money, getting a job is best for you. Don't trust any surveys because I highly doubt they'll even pay you for even taking the surveys, so it's a waste of time. Trust me, I've tried. If you want actual money like, straight into your shared bank account, taking surveys and playing money games aren't the ones. All they have are Amazon gift cards.
You can also earn money buy selling things online. I use Facebook Marketplace (even though you have to be 18 to use it, I changed my birthyear. Once you change it, you'll never be Able to change it back.
I think FB Marketplace is much more easier because you can choose to meet up with the person who wants whatever the item you're sailing. You can always ship your items to them if you prefer. As far as I know, there are bubble wraps at Walmart. There are also shipping parcels as well; big and small there too. You can buy a cardboard box for 79¢ there at Walmart as well. You need a laptop or desktop and a printer to print a shipping label. Do not forget to buy scotch tape.
You can also buy the parcels from your local Postal Office as well and you can ask for a blank shipping label with the USPS logo on it so all you have to do is to write the address you're shipping to and you can use either your address or your P. O. box as where you're shipping it from. You can ask your parent or parents to get a P. O. Box so you can use it as your shipping from address because you have to be 18 to get a P. O. Box. Before you think about shipping things, ask your parent or parents to get you a bank account. You will need to have a share bank account because you have to be 18 to even get a bank account. When you get a job, you'll be given a job card. Basically, whenever payday arrives, your earned money will be sent to that card... But here's the catch, you cannot withdraw all of your money. I have $8 on mine and I will never be able to get it out of that card by using ATM. You see, the ATM will charge you for withdrawal.
If you have $10 on that card, you will be unable to withdraw it even if the ATM allows you to withdraw $10 because you'll have to pay for withdrawal. It sucks, I know.

don't be in so much hurry to grow up! a lot of teens nowadays (including me back then) feel insecure because their lives look nothing like teens in movies and social media. enjoy this stage of your life and feel free to do dumb shit if you want. just don't do things you're not ready for and don't take people's criticisms to heart.

ohshee · Accepted Answer

You are the boss of you. Never let a guy tell you what to do never have sex without protection never let a guy control you you are the boss of yourself. Be a leader not a follower
Your parents set a good foundation for you and if they didn't do you know what it is to change it and remember
We all get to choose who we want to be by the things we say and do who you become in this life is your choice you cannot blame anybody for anything. Just pay attention always be looking 500 feet ahead

I haven't used to race dirt bikes and you had to always be looking 500 to 1000 ft ahead because things come up fast and you need to be able to take it on you have to be able to do and no what's going on before it happens because you have a choice you either going to hit the brakes are you going to give it full throttle and 9 3/4 quarters of the time it's going to be full throttle. Remember you're just as important as everybody else on this planet don't let anybody take that away from you what I mean to stand that tall get a job to make some money put it away buy a house be happy and always smile

pervertedjester · Answer

You want Wisdom from teen aged me... "It's 2:17 in the morning."

MrKinktastic · Answer

Fake it till you make it confidence wise, at your age everyone is bluffing anyways since they have no life experience to draw on and no real accomplishments anyone outside of their peer group will respect.

Pay attention in school, the drama you will mostly forget about but getting into a good school/ career minded program is a game changer.

Go to post secondary for something with a stable/guaranteed career like trades or healthcare. You can always go back to school part time after for passion projects like art or humanities.

Start a savings/investing account. Saving cash is a losing game since inflation is between 7-12% right now so focus on investments. You’re probably more tech savvy than most investors and can handle bigger risk because you’re younger, so stuff like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Monero might be a good idea. Avoid trendy stuff like doge until you really understand the space though. Gold, silver and stocks are other good options, if you’re not going to pay much attention to it I would go with blue chip stocks like apple, Amazon, alphabet/google, etc.

WhiteSteve · Answer

Have fun. Be young. It’s over before you know it, and you can’t go back and do it later. Also, don’t do anything dumb for the approval of any of your peers, you likely won’t even know them in 5-10 years. And most of all, don’t take high school to seriously. Whether you’re the prom king/queen, or the biggest dork in your class, nobody cares about any of that after high school is over. High school is to be left in high school, good or bad. If you’re an adult walking around with a complex because you weren’t popular as a teenager, people are going to think it’s weird you can’t get over it. If you’re an adult and
you’re constantly talking about high school achievements and how cool you were, people are going to think you’re a loser. High school is weird because it’s kind of the pinnacle of childhood existence, I remember the anticipation of it before I got there, and how life-or-death everything seemed when I was there, but then the second it’s over, boom, it’s DONE, and you don’t look back. So don’t put yourself in any bad situations just to impress so-and-so, they’ll just be some memory before you know it.

Hope you have a happy birthday!🥳

Anonymous · Answer

I turn 16 in 2 days. What teenage wisdom can you share?

Happy early birthday 🎂 💕! At the age of 21.. Here’s my advice** from experience 😬

1. Don’t get a boyfriend just because it’s the “normal” thing to do and definitely don’t waste time even kissing or having sex..😔even “almost having sex” and kissing him are 2 things I regret so much. Soul ties are real…and can be formed by both of those things… I strongly regret not saving for the one I’m waiting for so I’d suggest you do too🥲(since you asked)

2. If you absolutely must have a boyfriend.. don’t take just anyone! I was extremely insecure. I ended up being in a controlling relationship w the person implicitly mentioned in the first paragraph. My best friend also was in a controlling relationship. Both guys were bad influences. It takes YEARS to get rid of a boyfriend once you have a soul tie with him… Even if he gets married he’s still gonna try to talk to you somehow but sometimes boundaries have to be set 🙁✌️

3. Don’t be so trusting… Seriously, no one is entitled to know your business. Only immediate/close family, (REAL) best friends, and ur future husband are. Most people really don’t care about you, so don’t worry about pouring your soul out for them.

4. Don’t accept bully treatment from friends.. I’m sorry, but I don’t care how long you’ve been friends with someone. If they’re making you feel bad about yourself and acting more like an enemy, it’s best that you let them go. Obviously, you should try to talk it out with them. But if they keep hurting you, let them go!! Do it for your peace.💙

5. Don’t let a boyfriend (or crush) distract you from doing great in school.

6. Don’t say everything on your mind. Some things are not worth saying. 😆

7. Have fun. you’re only 16 once. apply for scholarships early!

8. Last but not least-Pray more worry less. God is real ❤️

crazy8000 · Answer

You doesn't know everything and understand everything 😉

Stop obsessing over having the best time of your life in the teens. it's a whole life ahead to get even better times of your life.

Don't obsess over accomplish a lot of thing's. you have a whole life ahead to do the thing's can't do for the moment.

Whole life is school. not just in early age. we learn as long we live.

Life isn't over at a certain age unless you're a female and wants to get your own children.

You don't need to do thing's because others do it or to fitt in.

People come and go in our life.

Feelings are something that changes over time unless we don't let it go.

Be careful with whom you wast your time and life with.

Female's aren't goods gift.

Work on your personality instead of how you look.

Youth fades. appreciate what you got. when it's gone it's gone.

Be patient with people.

Stop caring what other's think about you.

Don't buy what people tries to sell you about how thing's are. create your own perception.

Try to stay away from ideology that attracts others groups.

Don't blame others for your own shit.

Be careful with adopting others beliefs.

Go for what you are after. don't expect others to make it happen.

Don't wait for someone to take initiative if you are interested in them. go for it yourself to get it. life is to short.

...

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

Enjoy your life, and don't wish it away! Enjoy where you are right now and make the best of it. Appreciate your family, pets, and friends, and everything good in your life, and don't take them for granted.

Also, try not to worry too much about what people think of you, as everyone else is too busy worrying about what others think of them in order to focus too much on you (and those who harshly and negatively judge you are typically dealing with their own insecurities and that is their way of projecting them or feeling better about themselves).

Think things through before making decisions. Don't let anyone talk you into doing anything you're not comfortable with and don't feel right about. Trust your gut.

Moose304 · Answer

I always tell teens still in HS to enjoy life because once the teens are over for most people life starts to change. I tell the males to start building value. Either start learning a good trade, or get into school. I have some female friends that are divorced and have daughters. Girls at this age generally are not going to listen to some old fossil butt like me give them life advice. Even though I know they are not listening I try to explain that body is not going to be that firm in 30 to 40 years. Treat people kind and don't take yourself so seriously. They won't listen! In 20 years if I am still alive to see it I am sure some of them will be making woe is me videos!

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Going back to high school memories of old classmates: Don't base your future on the first dude to want to make out with you in a theater. Just watch the blasted X-Men. You'll feel less scorned in the end.

Don't be nasty to the heavier guy who has your back. The color blind guy will turn his back on you. You'll cope by switching schools. If you do, don't jump into bed right away. If you do, be very careful who you let knock you up. You don't wanna end up divorced with 2 kids, serving time for a DUI, then groomed in jail until you become a raging lesbian.

And don't start smoking. Obscenely expensive habit.

wingattebaby16 · Answer

Remember that most guys only want sex.

Saying that, do not be ashamed or fearful to use your body to get what you want from men.

Enjoy being a teenager..

respect your parents, as they are your biggest fans. If you want to date or go out or go shopping, when your parents are in your court, you win!

Be kind to other girls at school, especially the plain or ugly or simple ones.. too many pretty girls, like cheerleaders, can be stuck up bitches and they dont realize that after High School, the girls they put down, are the ones that will succeed in life.

all_hayl · Answer

I find that sometimes people say this but then they don't like what they hear and they ignore it, and then 10-15 years later they REALLY regret having ignored it. I hope that's not you. If you're serious, here goes:
Keep your legs closed.
If you compare yourself with others, stop. Everyone is on their own path.
If you're afraid of what others think, try to stop. (Easier said than done. I know).
Don't be a f******* idiot behind the wheel. Put your f***** phone down and pay attention to the road.
Lots more I could say but i'll leave it at that.
(by the way, I'm 38m and I am that guy who ignored some of the advice I was given and REALLY regretted it later. In other words, I'm speaking from experience.). Cheers, and happy birthday! I hope it's a blast!

Mango-man · Answer

Don't do drugs even if "cool kids" do it (alcohol and cigarettes included).

Always make some time for your elderly family members to while they are still around.

Try to learn a foreign language or two, as it is useful and you won't have as much time to do so later on in life.

Don't argue with strangers on the internet in all seriousness - take them with humour and don't get personally involved. They usually do it exactly because they want to get an emotional reaction from you.

Ninani · Answer

Be mindful of the relationships you choose in your life, they should be healthy and good for you. Don't be afraid to let a bad friendship go, it's better for you down the line.

Get to know yourself, both your "good" and "bad" qualities are a part of you. You can work on your insecurities when you recognise them.

Set boundaries and respect others. Make it clear where your own boundaries are and do your best to treat other people's boundaries with the same respect. Don't be afraid to say "no" and stand your ground, if your boundaries aren't respected.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

In the UK, turning 16 is fairly significant.

especially for part time and even full time jobs.

you can join the military, get married (or civil partnership), chose your own doctor,

leave home, buy a lottery ticket

have alcohol with a meal in say a restaurant.

however for me at 16 is when someone properly becomes a young adult and should be treat as such.

At 16, you need that 5 year plan, where you will be in 5 years, career, country, etc.

This is when those parental controls need to be loosened and treat them not as a child but as a young adult, let them develop further. Parents only have a couple of years left if any to get their child ready for the open world,

be confident, be happy, be your own person, independence and individuality.

Live and enjoy life but plan ahead

Above all, have a lovely day and party on.

slatyb · Answer

There are a few ways teenagers fuck up their lives permanently:

1. They drive a car while intoxicated and are involved in a collision resulting in permanent injury, or serious criminal charges.
2. The ride in a car driven by someone intoxicated and are injured in a collision.
3. They have unsafe sex and contract an incurable disease -- these days that's HIV.
4. They get arrested for possession of illegal substances.
5. They do some stupidly risky stunt (milk cartons or stupider) and get injured.

Avoid these things.

Naydyonov · Answer

Never make quick decisions. Decisions which must be made on a whim wiill usually not be beneficial for you in the long-run.
Never forget about the consequences of action (ex: casual sex) or inaction (ex: not maintaining your health). Best to create good habits right now. Best not to create bad habits now, as these may well carry on into your adulthood.
Learn! Push your limits. Seek new experiences (if beneficial in the long-run), new knowledge, new skills.
Keep an open mind. Seek to understand the world for what it is, not what it should be. Challenge views & opinions you hold. If these are valid views/opinions, they will hold to scrutiny. If under scrutiny, they fall apart (ex: no evidence to prove X social policy works), then discard it.
Maintain high standards for yourself and for others. Expect from yourself quality, be it in household chores or in your education.

If you start your pension plan now, you'll feel foolish. Don't worry about it. In your 20s you'll be tempted to cash it in. Don't. In your 30s you'll think about cashing it in to help buy your house. Don't. In your 40s you'll use it for tax breaks, and that's fine. The money you save from the tax man can go into the fund. By your 50s you'll realise how lucky you are and by the 60s you'll have forgotten me and this website and think how amazing and clever and forward thinking teenage you was, to think about your future at such a young age...

Guanfei · Answer

Don't grow up too fast. You're not an adult, you're barely out of childhood, enjoy it.
Unlike what most kids and teens think, being an adult isn't cool, it's not freedom, it sucks. Enjoy your childhood as much as you can, or you'll regret it later, as many of us did.

While having boyfriends is nice, don't "give yourself" yet. Wait for it, even if other pressure it of the said boyfriend want it now, refuse. You'll have all the time later for it, save it for someone special.

And even tho I said don't grow up too fast, try to acquire some useful skills for your adult life. How to manage money for example, cooking, sewing, fixing simple stuff.

OddBeMe · Answer

(Deep breath)
1) life is about meeting people and having experiences.
2) people won’t care about you as much as they care about what you can do for them. So learn as many skills as possible. This world is a service economy. Can’t get by on day labor or typing.
3) sex happens naturally between people, almost like conversations do. Don’t worry about being good at it or experienced or even “too experienced”. None of that matters. Just meet someone you care about. And be sure you want sex. And don’t be afraid to say no.

libsaretards · Answer

1. If college is in your plans, learn about CLEP tests. These tests are more widely accepted than AP tests in college. Use the website passyourclass. com to get study materials. These books cost around $45 altogether plus around $90 for the test itself. That is $135 to take a test to skip a college course that could cost several hundred dollars for tuition and books. The books on the website I mentioned are enough to pass these tests if you remember them perfectly.

2. Learn about how credit scores are determined. Learn what a secured credit card is and how to use it responsibly to build your credit. Your credit score and reports literally run your life so do not wait until 18 to start learning about it.

Learn how to deal with strong emotions early on. You'll feel worthless even might think about giving up but stay positive coz mostly it's just a dumb phase. Have patience, decisions made in a hurry can fuck u up real bad.
Make true pals that you believe will stick with you rather than exploiting or manipulating you. Those people will be in your life for a long time and having trustworthy people is a blessing nowadays.
You'll face many people with conflicting opinions, just ignore if they're overly entitled to it. If they are civil about their beliefs then you might learn a thing or two coz correctness is highly relative.

Umm, you have Metallica as your photo... You are doing just fine young lady!

My wisdom is do NOT date until college or university. If you want to get laid just get laid, it is easy for girls, don't think you need to be in a relationship to do it. Focus on your studies and own your body. Separate sex and love. Only do it because you WANT to do it, not to prove something or because everyone else is doing it. Stick to school. The best thing you can do is develop good studying habits, it reverberates into other facets of your life and that one good habit will make you successful everywhere. Then when you have good habits, and you separated sex and love, you become the boss bitch. And you listen to metal so fuck yeah. \m/

I'm still technically a teenager but here's my advice:
Don't feel pressured to do things that "everyone else is doing"
Our hormones make even the little things feel like the end of the world, that's why teen depression and suicide is so high. Don't fall victim to either one. You got this

DiegoO · Answer

Enjoy your teen years, don't rush it. Things like sex are better to have when you are an adult (pregnancies and STI are no game). You do need certain independance to have it (money and your own space), otherwise imagine having to deal with a pregnancy (wanted or unwanted) without having the cash to pay for everything you'll need to pay. Also, imagine the cost of paying a doctor and treatments to recover from a bacterial STI (viral STI don't have cure, only treatments to mantain the virus controlled or dormant).

Other things like group preasure can screw your mind. Been a teenager is been someine trying to fit somewhere. Better be careful of choose as friends.

I can keep on, but your parents would probably give you more insight.

Oh, I almost forgot. As the teen guy I was, please consider that hormonal changes will make many guys see you with the eyes of a horny m*th"? r F*ck**! Be aware. The one guy that respects you will be the right one for you.

Wester1967 · Answer

Girls at that age are vicious. Your hormones are out of control and force you to throw yourself at them. Maintain self control and don't fall in to the trap that nature has laid for you.

Happy belated birthday but here’s my advice. When you feel pressured to do something take a step back and think about it first. Whether it’s a guy, girl, friends, parents, school or even work. Step back and look at the situation before diving into it.

MountAverage · Answer

Everything will change. Around you and inside you. Whatever you are now 100% sure of, whether it's your feelings about something/someone, your world views and ideology, and so on, will change in the future. More than once. And that's a good thing, because if you don't evolve, you don't learn and grow.
So be humble about yourself and the world around you. Know that you know nothing. Like all of us. Only then you can learn and grow.

- Wait on relationships, like honestly if you’re curious about sex just be safe but don’t get attached to anyone.. once you’re 18 you graduate and you move on to the next phase of your life. Most of the time relationships don’t workout in high school.
- And please please please don’t rush into growing up, have fun with everything and remember you still have a lot to learn and you’re still changing.

Take the time to enjoy the remainder of your youth. Stay close to the people who care about you. Listen to your parents and other elders who have your best interests at heart and already walked the road you're travelling. Don't rush life.

Take any fun opportunities that come your way and go for them. I don't mean drugs or sex but wholesome fun experiences like travel, going out with friends etc.

Just be and act like a kid while you can. Make mistakes and learn from them. Take chances. Realize heartbreak is just a part of growing up and though it may feel like the end of the world you will be okay.

Don’t have sex or send nudes to anyone you like make sure they’re dating you & please you mentally. most guys will try & make you do things because their horny. also start saving money & don’t touch it until your 20 do it in a box if you don’t have a bank account even 20 or 10 dollars is fine, you’ll thank me later lol.
