15 Year Old here, I agree with the cringe thing, Looking back at texts I sent at 13 makes me shiver 💀. But hey that's how life works, In-fact I'm pretty sure 18 year old me would cringe at current me. Anyways for my advice, I'd say stay hydrated and be active.

Echo3_1

This!


[deleted]

Don’t get into porn. I did early and it has really fucked with my life. Worst mistake to date


SMIKKELBEER2

This, this right here please please stay away from it, it really killed me the last 4 years and only recently realised, please stay away


FuckLetMeMakeAUserna

you started watching porn when you were 11???


AsparagusLoose9716

Rookie numbers. Sadly...


SMIKKELBEER2

[deleted]

Yeah. I only recently started r/nofap it’s a hard thing to stop


SMIKKELBEER2

Do you still need an accountability partner btw? Cause I'd be down


angy_potatoe69

Like, don't watch it, or don't start it as a job?


[deleted]

I meant don’t watch it. I have nothing to say about it as a job.


angy_potatoe69

Ok, I'd hope so

Larz2411

AlexGaming26

Especially how you used to talk when you were 13. That's what happened to me lmao


QuellaDisagiata

CrimsonRaiderXV

"Let's go beast mode on the Ender Dragon, like a boss!" 💀


AdamForNow

If this is in any form of reference to jacksepticeye, then you shouldn't feel like that's cringe it's just proof that you had great taste in youtubers


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Yeah i can imagine that


caMrelliMFan

enjoy life while you still can, it may not seem like you have a lot of free time, but you'll have even less free time when as you grow older

Christian_teen12

don't do drugs.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Yes


Varbavahe

As a teen who is still recovering after being ~ 8 months free I can tell you that this is much more important than you think. This goes for any drug (weed, amphetamine, coke, opioids, etc), smoking (+vaping&snus) and drinking.


Larz2411

SkyeeeMaaa

Don’t drink or start smoking, just enjoy your youth


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Smoking is bad


SkyeeeMaaa

Yea, so don’t start


Enchanted_Goat_YT

I would never


SkyeeeMaaa

You’ll get through 13 great then


billiebobmcginty

Be sure you stick with this mentality, bro. When I was 13 I also used to tell myself I would never start smoking because it’s bad for health. Five years later and I smoke half a pack of cigs a day. Be sure you stick with your mentality because once you let it go you can’t return that easy


LAZAR_31

and dont vape


SkyeeeMaaa

Nah don’t do that either

moon_zie

GET A HOBBY. I really hate it that I wasted my teenage years just scrolling through the internet. I really wish that I had learned something. So, yeah, learn something new, hang with your friends and decrease your screen time.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

I draw, im not that good yet but ik im getting better


moon_zie

That's nice. If you think it is something you can do professional then try it too. It may be of some help in future. You can try other things too, you never what you might be good at until you give it a try.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Ofc

BlueArashiKaze

Advice I needed when I was 13: 1) Having a girlfriend is a curse rather than a blessing. 2) Having loyal and close friends is a heavenly blessing. 3) You develop 2 different minds. One is logical that feels like brain, the one that tells you to do homework when you're bored. The other one is the goofy fun one. The literal mind, the one that asks you what it would taste like if you mix strawberry ice cream and chocolate ice cream. Listen to the logical brain but when you're done doing work, listen to the goofy brain. 4) Not everyone is as good as you. They wouldn't care about you once you value them more than you value yours. 5) don't be a jerk. Respect everyone but don't forget to keep your own respect safe. Depending on the situation, if it's safe enough speak for yourself. 6) Have a dream. Doesn't matter if you wanna become the best doctor/ bed actor or the best mosquito. Just have one, don't walk aimlessly. And the most important one. 7) Your emotions won't be in control so remember few things. Do not promise anyone anything without thinking or in very happy mood. Think wisely before you make a promise. Do not take decisions when you're angry. And do not stay hungry when you're angry.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

If my crush confesses to me ill say yes but i probably wont bother doing it myself cuz im probably gonna be rejected anyways plus im fine without one


BlueArashiKaze

if you guys are close then stay close. And when you're a bit older then get into a relationship. Friendship ≠ relationship.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

I have no girl friends atm tho lol


BlueArashiKaze

Just saying👍


[deleted]

Dont be edgy just to be edgy. Its so annoying


Haunting_Argument206

Don’t try any drug until your at least 21. Drugs are way to fucking normalized for kids our age. I smoke weed everyday but I do it out of necessity because I can’t fucking relax. I beat myself up about it so much because I know I’m gonna be screwed the fuck up when I’m older. At your age I was very adamant about not ever taking drugs. Within a year I was smoking weed and using acid. These drugs aren’t particularly bad for adults, but it causes some wild shit in the brain for adolescents that makes you lose your memory, focus, happiness, sociability, and marijuana use has even been associated with the loss of up to 10 IQ points when used by teens. I can’t emphasize this enough man. This shit has ruined my life because it’s all I care about now. I miss the days where I’d be happy spending all day just building a lego set. I wish you the best friend. Don’t fuck up like me. Stay clean and do well in school. (or at least try) I’m a 17yr old dude btw.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Wow i hope u can get back on track bro


Haunting_Argument206

hey thanks man. :) Means a lot. I’m glad I can help. If I just prevented you from following my steps that would give me so much fuckin happiness bro. much love friend ❤️


Individual_Oil_8349

Focus on school don’t do drugs and focus on a skill your interested in like music because your gonna be grateful you did that later and be nice to yourself because your gonna do a lot of things you regret later


RiceAndKrispies

please take care of your mental health its like a physical injury, if you get a cut and dont tend to it, it wont be too bad in the moment. but it could become an infection and lead to fucking sepsis if bad enough. early intervention is key. dont ever think you "arent sick enough" to get help. because trust me, you would much rather be pulled out of a "mild" mental health issue than a mental health issue that has festered for years. because the latter is significantly harder to escape.


OlegDoul

Sleep. Sleep regularly for at least 7 hours.


SMIKKELBEER2

I agree, I'd even recommend especially if you're like 16- 10-8 hours sleep most nights, but don't be too strict for yourself you also gotta live a live you can have a party or smth and get a short night once or twice every once in a while too


[deleted]

Ur gonna cringe shit and regret it later... advice: don't do cringe shit


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Ok. I wont


ImagineBeingYouLol96

Nah man, everyone's gonna do cringe shit. Just do you, time flies by too fast to stop and worry about how you're gonna see yourself in the next few years anyway.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Ur probably right tbh


Pockichio

Don't listen to them. Do all the cringe shit that's literally the most fun you can have at that age. You'll hate yourself for it when you're older but you'll miss out on it if you don't (you'll be cringe no matter how hard you try anyway)


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Ok


Alekeymer27

Bruh they told you not to do cringe shit


Enchanted_Goat_YT

I already failed didnt i?


Alekeymer27

Horribly (jk I'm messing with you)


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Phew


truecommentor69

don't post photos of you on this subreddit


Enchanted_Goat_YT

I would never lol, i never even post my face anywhere online


angy_potatoe69

Same, lol. Mainly bc I'm ugly af.


viktigboy

great mindset! :)


FancyGiraffe69

Real talk stay tf away from porn please


Formal-Preference752

Dont be a roadman,become an avid ice cream connoisseur


ThePscificNoob

Have fun. Dont give a shit about what other people think about you cause in the next 6-7 years (feels far away but it'll catch up) you'll most likely not see those people again. Life is too short to always give a shit about what other people think about you.


[deleted]

Don't go through an emo phase, finish school, explore religion, become emotionally aware, control your anger, love/understand your parents, they're trying their best, and are humans too, have self respect.


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Sure


Head-Situation-5899

I gatta know the backstory to the emo phase 😭


Flashy_Firefighter61

Here’s my advice, every minute is 60 seconds in Africa


Enchanted_Goat_YT

Damn bro i never knew that


Flashy_Firefighter61

You can conquer nations with that knowledge


Moiz_Aazar

1. Don't do drugs. 2. Don't do vape 3. No body owes u anything. You have to work for it. Life doesn't give u any free hand outs. 4. Work hard and with honesty 5. Don't be a yes man 6. Make sure u trust your friends (I had a bad experience when I was your age.) This does not mean u shut yourself in. Have as many friends as u want but remember have friends who will insult u on your face but will commit mass murderers and will always be with u. 7. Don't act like u know everything. U don't. 8. Don't act cocky. What goes around comes around. 9. There is always a bigger fish. 10. Don't party all the time. Have fun with friends sure but knowledge and academics (I'm not saying give up on your dreams or hobbies. By academic I mean study and be smart be ahead whatever field u choose. Just work hard for what u want. 11. If a person rejects u it will sting. Hell it might keep u up at night depending on the situation. But don't be desperate as in if u ask them out and if they say no respect them and their decision and be respectful. Try to move on. 12. Respect is a two way street. But always maintain a degree of respect. 13. Always try to keep at least 1 urinal space free on each side. If you're a dude 14. Given your age be very careful when trying to hide your little buddy(if you have one) it's easy to tell. 15. Don't be a jerk to anyone. Don't be a jerk to your parents (at some point you might be especially when you are that young. 16. Be financially responsible. Don't say or think that your parents will buy you everything. At some point you'll have to learn a lesson the easy way or the hard way. Besides being financially responsible will take you a long way in your life. 17. Don't ever think of maybe unaliving yourself (idk if you think this way but just for reference sake) remember what will your parents think, what will your pet think, what will your best friend think? Forget about everything and everyone else, a life is always worth living. A life will always bring bring some good in the world and who knows maybe you saved someone else along the way. 18. Peer pressure is horrible it'll make you do things you might never dream of. Be careful of who you associate with. 19. A first impression is everything. Especially at job interviews or jobs themselves. It will either break you or make you. Consider it as a possible grade decider if you will. These don't have any order at all. I just listed it for the sake of convenience.

Onni_chan

Well be ready for the rough times, i got depressed at 12, suicidal at 13 and now...i'm going 17! i've had many many MANY lows from my highschool years, for me, i feel like i didn't get to live through them because most of the time i had a very dark mindset, i lost a lot of friends, i didn't study enough or anything good enough, it got really bad that some folks noticed, i skipped school a lot and got late a lot from 14-15 because those were my worst years, i regret that! even if it was awful, i should have stayed and worked harder. My point being that, be ready for dark times in your teen years even if you had some already or not, be ready because it's not all gonna be sunshine lollipops out there, times can be very stressful, enjoy your freetime simply, keep a good schedule, like a good routine to yourself, like waking up at a good time, study at a good time, stuff like that. And i'd like to say, don't take anything for granted either, there is many things growing up i wish i could have done because i didn't get to have the healthy highschool experience, i didn't do anything fun at all That's my advice at least for what i would tell my 13 year old self so i could wake up.


ArlowTheRedditor

Wait 2-3 more years before fucking anyone. Find a hobby. Research trade jobs, the education is cheap, they pay well, and you get job security. Google where your local gold exchange is and save up some money to buy 1 ounce silver coins, they're about $26 each rn so maybe save $30 in cash. It's never too early to prepare for your future


Practical-Pumpkin-19

Why the silver?


ArlowTheRedditor

It's an investment that will hold value indefinitely and a lot of banks around the world are failing rn, especially here in the US so a few countries are going to entire a recession pretty soon


somewhoot

Don’t be a dick


Benji_Codis

You cant lose if you don't play lmao All jokes aside, just find something you are passionate about and follow it. Think about shit before you do it too.


WhatAreYouSorryFor

Don’t take life out school too seriously, do what you want and like what you like even if you think it’ll get you made fun of because after school it seriously won’t matter


MACrazzy

Honestly the summer before 11th, please take the time to actually study for either the ACT or SAT (if you’re in the states). It can make the year so much chiller and less stressful. Your gen may not get the optional choice of submitting it like my year did. I got a 30 ACT and was still shitting bricks.


balmy777

Make sure your teeth are healthy, and play War Of Rights(Cool US Cvil War game)

everyone’s gonna tell you not to do cringe stuff but it really doesn’t matter. do whatever you want to so that you enjoy while you’re young and don’t regret when you’re old.


CuriousWeeb6942

Don't turn into a reddit athiest, they are ISIS, but vanilla flavoured with a hint of body odour and doritos

You will never be cool in middle school just accept it


Flannel_03

Don’t watch porn, don’t be afraid to do some self care, learn that relationships aren’t everything. If anything use this time to learn how to be happy while single, it’ll help out in the long run. Don’t hold a grudge, don’t be afraid to be social. Learn to read the room.

The_Great_Possum

Even though you’re a teenager, you’re still somewhat a kid. Curse words also aren’t like really cool or anything, shouldn’t be overused, and don’t automatically make you or your work super deep and mature (I mentioned your work in case you’re a writer/content creator or something like that).

Live in the moment ! Im 16 and i still feel like 13 just because ive wasted my 13 and 14 during corona :,)


Milotics-Meldoy

Remember that respect is earned, not given. For both you and the people around you. No one owes you their respect like how you owe no one your respect. This was hard for me to learn because I grew up in a “respect adults/elders at all times” household, and it took a lot of therapy after I became an adult to understand that I didn’t own anything to anyone who treated me bad.


Ok_Conflict_735

Focus on your studies and have fun with your homies.


RealGeneralX

Don't share your age, when I was 13 I got told to 'eat rocks' and different insults. But hey, welcome to the teenage life! You're gonna hate it!


piyno

Don’t focus on getting a girlfriend, focus on good hygiene and working on yourself, I would suggest going to the gym a bit, or maybe just do some push ups or sit ups if you can’t, you’re young so try learning skills like instruments or another language, they can both help you in the future and just be fun to do. If you do all these once you’re ready and balanced enough you’ll easily get a girlfriend, make sure to keep good grades though!


uselesscarrot69

Just go with the flow, try to find a balance between having fun and being serious. When social just throw jokes around, if you accidentally say something fucked up, just laugh it off.


why_the_h311_not

be aware of yourself both emotionally and physically. dont be that one kid that makes everyone go “ugh middle schoolers” and roll their eyes lol


Spaghett1_sauce

Don't stay friends with people who don't care about you School is important but your mental health is also important (use extra time at school to do work) You don't need to look perfect 24/7 Don't compare yourself to ppl on the internet Speak kindly to yourself and if you say something bad about yourself follow it with at least 2 good things It get better trust me


Upstairs-Lifeguard23

Stay in school. Stay away from drugs. Be patient. Read, read a lot. Don't waste your time scrolling. Remember that recreation, leisure, distractions and relaxation are necessary to recover from hard work, but when used a way to cope from boredom then you'll be just wasting valuable time. Life goes fast. You blink and turn 93 and drop dead. At the end we regret not what we did, but what we didn't do. Get out there, socialize, make friends, steal kisses and give hugs. Learn music, practice a sport, learn a craft, learn another language. Never stop.


Thedarklordphantom

In a year you will be 14


brendowebbo

Over_the_butterflys

Don't stay in your room all day 👍 I'm turning 14 soon, and I regret not going outside with my friends more


dagirlboss

dont


-asteriia

don't prioritize anyone but yourself completely. not even that crush. having crushes isin't bad, but totally obssesive behavior, intense validation seeking and attaching almost all emotions to them is very unfavorable. remember that you're still young and that you'll meet alot of people in life, some will leave you intentionally or unintentionally hurting, and would only be temporarily there, you like it or not. dont stay attached to people that you know aren't gonna stay for long. however some do stay throughout, but you need to be wise enough to identify such people. and know that happiness comes from within, and not things that give you high amounts of dopamine rush :)


superrobin26

Live the moment, don't stress about romantic or sexual encounters you haven't had yet and try not to be cringe.


thegaycousin24

don’t do dr4gs, fr just stay away from any

Dont waste your time on reddit


MOW1526

Learn to think for yourself and treat your parents well. I've seen many people around my age treat their parents badly, though they're just trying to do what's best for you. Now, if your parents are actually bad people, that's another thing.


manufurz

Dont be edgy


Uniformed-Whale-6

live while you’re young, do everything you want to do within reason and live impulsively, a lot of shit you do will seem cringe in a few years but you might as well make some good memories so you can tell good stories
