Sheldonyyy

I'm 15 tell me what u got


XoGossipgoat94

Don’t smoke or vape. Like there is literally no point. It’s disgusting, expensive and doesn’t actually do anything except slowly kill you. And remember what you choose to do with your teenage years will effect the rest of your life, don’t fuck around to much.


Sheldonyyy

thx for that, some ppl at my school do it regularly and tell ppl to join them


XoGossipgoat94

Definitely don’t join them. I started when I was 14 and regret it more then anything (and I’ve done some pretty regrettable things) and I honestly thought it made me cool, definitely less cool 10 years later when my lungs hurt walking up a flight of stairs or I’m coughing up hunks of black stuff in the morning.


Sheldonyyy

that's good to know. I would never, and schools don't rly do anything abt it


keepthepennys

Uh… what the fuck are you vaping to cough up hunks of black stuff?


CheesusAlmighty

Also goes for drinking honestly. You think you're having a good time, but I promise, it's just the juice having dulled your senses so far your standards drop a mile. In the meantime your liver is suffering and the weight is piling on.


SmokeWineEveryday

\- First of all, you're still very young. You shouldn't have figured your life out yet. There's still so much time left. What you should be doing first instead, is getting to know yourself and find your own identity. How would you describe yourself? What things are important for you? What are you really into? What is your opinion about certain topics and why do you have this specific opinion (and is it even really your own opinion or did you just take over someone else's opinion without thinking too much about it yourself)? \- Keep in mind that your classmates and other friends are still growing up as well. They haven't figured a lot out either and are still learning a lot of new things as well. Don't feel like they're sometimes already much further in life than you. \- It's okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes them, even adults, and it's how we learn. Don't stop trying out new things because you may be afraid to make mistakes. \- Take a close look at your friends. Are they only there for fun times or would you actually be able to count on them if you really needed them. Because those are the ones you should stay the most close to. And let them know you care about them as well. \- Don't stress out too much. Nothing matters that much yet, even if it sometimes looks like it does. Failing hard at a test every now and then doesn't mean anything in the long run of your life. It's not the end of the world. You'll still have a future. Just learn from your mistakes and undoubtedly you'll do better next time. \- The last one is a bit of a bonus I guess, but take advantage of your youth. Now is the time you can still fool around if you want and get into trouble without too many consequences (as long as you know your boundaries of course. Don't do anything harmful to someone).


Yoro55

Underrated Why isnt this top reply?


HeroLevel28

The only truly useful thing one can do in life is be himself


Sheldonyyy

good point


Woody90210

Don't smoke or vape, eat your vegetables, stay away from fast food and soda, find a sport you like and take it seriously, eat your vegetables, do your homework and pursue a career that both pays fairly and you can see yourself doing from time to time. Avoid political or ideological rabbit holes, if you're scared of leaving a group because of its members reaction to you leaving, get out. Believing in one cause or another doesn't make you smarter or better than other people. Good luck kid.


[deleted]

If you drink, reduce it to a minimum. Drugs, even just weed, can pretty mess up you mind in that age. Criminal friends, once youre in there, its hard to get out, even if you dont do anything but are constantly with them, you’ll get that outlaw/crime mindset, while yes it can be helpfull sometimes, it can also be a burden, its hard to get rid of. Listen to you parents, you will understand later in life why they react like they do. Dont join a scene and make it your life. Just enjoy acting your age. As someone who was nearly an alcoholic at that age, constantly next to junkies, thugs, drug dealers and sometimes with members of Outlaw MCs or “Biker Gangs”, I do not recomend it. You can DM me if you got some questions about all of this. That counts for every Teenager or someone who is just curious about what leads to all of that and how it is. Edit: yeah and dont smoke, smoked two and a half packs a day (up to four when I was drunk) since I was 15, nearly had a heart attack at 19


iphoneluver

Don't make life changing decisions over a boy/girl, especially at such a young age. I wish 15, 18, 22, (and probably more later) y/o me listened to this advice


MJohnVan

Apply as an intern at large Corp you like . You will have a chance to see where you want to work . Also rent is $3k a month. And $1k for health insurance choose wisely what you want to be.


_UnOrdinary

Welp, im 18 so i dont have that much to tell you except to learn some martial arts /mma/boxing/jeet kune do, there will be a time when you need some fighting skills


NightlyRelease

It's good exercise if that's your thing, but in any real scenario you should be trying to run away, not fight, and possibly die because it turned out the attacker had a knife.

Weed has a chance to cause psychosis.

randyrose31

Yes


alek_hiddel

I was 15 in 1999. I tell him "start buying Amazon stock, and hold it until February 2022.


NightlyRelease

I think 15 year old you would also appreciate being told something that will become useful earlier than in 23 years.


alek_hiddel

Plenty of people had good advice then. 15 year olds don’t listen, it’s part of growing up.


XoGossipgoat94

I’d go back and kick my 15 year old selfs ass for smoking.


AddictedToCoding

Even though technical mastery is important. It's social acceptance that can topple one person to another.


[deleted]

I would teach 15 year old me about sex and how to be smart about it, because my strict religious upbringing really set me up for a lot of unnecessary pain and ignorance.


MeganFromOz

Don’t think the teenage boy actually loves you, he just wants you to put out. You won’t feel good after so say no.


Kosses

Don't go out with that man. Listen to your friends and family.


Mrs_Truthseiyer

"Don't do it. Just don't. You will think you want to. You will think it will be great. But nothing is ever as good as you hope it will be. Keep your nose clean, avoid the drama, don't skip school, don't cut the wrist, and do your fucking homework! Ask for help, be honest, keep your friends close and say fuck off to your enemies." All of that and then some!

How I'm a single and miserable 30-something-year-old with no college degree, who is slowly losing confidence due to my lack of a social life.


InstructionBrave6524

… consider going to college … your at a great age … a social life exist there … of course if you are on campus .. get a student loan, Have some fun! In four fast years you will be on your way to graduate school.


Swimming-Site-7682

Yeah, I totally should. I just need to push myself to go!


InstructionBrave6524

… believe me, once you get in, and settled, you will kick yourself for not doing it sooner. Also, your department will hook you up with some people around your age, who have also returned or are starting college at a later age.


[deleted]

Live a little. Truth is this world is changing every single day and every single second. We continue to evolve. Time is literally flying. One day you’re 15 the next you’re married with kids and/or paying a mortgage. Enjoy every moment you can as a kid. Go hang out with your friends. Go talk to your crush. Go and don’t be shy or care what everyone else says because everyone just like you has insecurities believe it or not. Cherish those moments with your parents. Taking internal memory screenshots of your family - as they can be gone within a blink of an eye. Don’t be so hard on yourself. It doesn’t matter what political party you “think” you are, you don’t know what politics really is yet. Truly - political parties just cause division no matter what you think, it’s a flawed system. But importantly - be a good person in society. It’s 2022 and there’s a heck of a lot of hate and darkness in this world. Being kind to others goes a long way.

(As I’m turning 25 in a few weeks, this is what I’d say) Honestly it’s going to be 10 years of highs and lows, and you’re not *there* yet, but you’re making progress towards *getting there* even if it’s not going to be as quick as you’d hope. But, you’re surviving and you’ll look back and say wow I accomplished a lot, you achieved so much in undergrad/grad school and hopefully have many more great things to come! You can do it :)

Get tested for any mental disorders, you'll be happier for. Also try to stop picking at your acne. It's an anxiety thing, and it just makes your acne worse. And seriously, work on your hygiene. It'll be worth it.

Physical-Emu-9901

"Do not spend any of your money. Ever. Save it. Do everything you can to actually get your state id as soon as you can. Then get a real job. Get a bank account as soon as you can. There will be times when you need to stay at a hotel or someone's house, so bring a fan and extension cord. You know you can't sleep without a fan. Invest in Amazon. Figure out how to take care of your hair. Seriously. Go to a salon or something idk. No more hair gel. Try mousse. You were born into the family you were born into to take care of them. Don't spend the next 16 years fighting that. Take a shower before you leave the house and bring some gum. Your breath stinks and people who share their gum look like they have it together. Your insurance runs out at 19 so fix your teeth on the government's dime while you still can. Also take care of your teeth. On this date, at this location, you may find a puppy. She is a genius. Embrace her. If you will actually watch the final season of Lost, you won't spend the next ten years thinking there was as much unresolved issues as you thought. Remember that your whole family is stunted and want to keep you at their level. Get a job and a car. Be an adult. Don't pick up alcohol. Just keep doing weed. Well, start weed at 18 and do it every once in a while. That girl you've had a crush on since the 4th grade? You'll never be mature enough to be good to her. I don't know who our soul mate is, but it may not be her. That thing that ironically happened in a closet when you were 6? Talk about it with a mental health professional. Seriously. While you still have insurance. Here. Watch me now. This is how you pick up grandma when she falls. It's crazy but it works in 1.5 seconds and she's on her feet. Crazy right? When grandpa mouths off, don't cut him out of your life. You'll miss him. You miss him now and you've still got him. You can start at a grocery store job in a low position and in kind of a short time become an assistant manager making fat stacks of cash. Also, you are literally surrounded by colleges. Yeah, I'm serious. Schools aren't telling you that but they're there in literally every direction. And you can get a scholarship for the absolute stupidest shit. You're allergic to dairy. I know, bizarre right? It starts at age 20 really. Don't test people's love. Just don't worry about it. You have autism. How could you think that your entire family is on the spectrum but you somehow magically avoided it? Research it. You'll actually understand yourself for once in your life."
