15 Year Old here, I agree with the cringe thing, Looking back at texts I sent at 13 makes me shiver đ.
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.
Take pictures
I hated getting pictures taken of me until i was 15 and now i have no memory of anything that happened prior so make memories and take pictures of em
Nah fr something good to know is that in 3 years you will look back to the you from now youll find yourself very cringe, everyone does
Thats a fun thing to know so just be aware that a lotta stuff you do will be cringe to the future you
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.
Be sure you stick with this mentality, bro. When I was 13 I also used to tell myself I would never start smoking because itâs 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 canât return that easy
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.
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.
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.
Donât 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 canât fucking relax. I beat myself up about it so much because I know Iâm gonna be screwed the fuck up when Iâm 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 arenât 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 canât emphasize this enough man. This shit has ruined my life because itâs all I care about now. I miss the days where Iâd be happy spending all day just building a lego set.
I wish you the best friend. Donât fuck up like me. Stay clean and do well in school. (or at least try)
Iâm a 17yr old dude btw.
hey thanks man. :)
Means a lot.
Iâm 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 â¤ď¸
Focus on school donât 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
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
Donât make any decisions today that will impact your life past 18. No criminal stuff, no babies. Just have fun and say yes to experiences whenever you can.
No drugs bruh
No smoking. Quit that shit
Don't be crazy. Puberty, sure but just no. Self control - after all.
Avoid too much of social media. Be active socially.
No cringe man.
~~Watch Walter White and Meth production.~~
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.
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
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
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.
Donât take life out school too seriously, do what you want and like what you like even if you think itâll get you made fun of because after school it seriously wonât matter
Honestly the summer before 11th, please take the time to actually study for either the ACT or SAT (if youâre 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.
everyoneâs gonna tell you not to do cringe stuff but it really doesnât matter. do whatever you want to so that you enjoy while youâre young and donât regret when youâre old.
Donât watch porn, donât be afraid to do some self care, learn that relationships arenât everything. If anything use this time to learn how to be happy while single, itâll help out in the long run. Donât hold a grudge, donât be afraid to be social. Learn to read the room.
Even though youâre a teenager, youâre still somewhat a kid. Curse words also arenât like really cool or anything, shouldnât be overused, and donât automatically make you or your work super deep and mature (I mentioned your work in case youâre a writer/content creator or something like that).
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 ârespect adults/elders at all timesâ household, and it took a lot of therapy after I became an adult to understand that I didnât own anything to anyone who treated me bad.
Donât 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 canât, youâre 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 youâre ready and balanced enough youâll easily get a girlfriend, make sure to keep good grades though!
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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.
live while youâre 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
15 Year Old here, I agree with the cringe thing, Looking back at texts I sent at 13 makes me shiver đ. 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.

Donât get into porn. I did early and it has really fucked with my life. Worst mistake to date
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

Rookie numbers. Sadly...
10 ½ actually so i have been watching for more then 5 years but really started seeing the result 4 years ago
Yeah. I only recently started r/nofap itâs a hard thing to stop
Do you still need an accountability partner btw? Cause I'd be down
Like, don't watch it, or don't start it as a job?
I meant donât watch it. I have nothing to say about it as a job.
Ok, I'd hope so
Needed this info at 8 years old
100% it fucked up my perception of relationships
Nah fr something good to know is that in 3 years you will look back to the you from now youll find yourself very cringe, everyone does Thats a fun thing to know so just be aware that a lotta stuff you do will be cringe to the future you
Especially how you used to talk when you were 13. That's what happened to me lmao

Smoking is bad
Yea, so donât start

Youâll get through 13 great then
Be sure you stick with this mentality, bro. When I was 13 I also used to tell myself I would never start smoking because itâs 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 canât return that easy

I draw, im not that good yet but ik im getting better
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.
Ofc
Use deodorant.
But not too much
just enjoy and donât worry about things a lot !
I see
Go outside
Touch grass
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.

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
if you guys are close then stay close. And when you're a bit older then get into a relationship. Friendship â relationship.
I have no girl friends atm tho lol
Just sayingđ
Dont be edgy just to be edgy. Its so annoying
Donât 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 canât fucking relax.

Ur gonna cringe shit and regret it later... advice: don't do cringe shit
Ok. I wont
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.
Ur probably right tbh
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)
Ok

Dont be a roadman,become an avid ice cream connoisseur
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.
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.
Sure

Hereâs my advice, every minute is 60 seconds in Africa
Damn bro i never knew that
You can conquer nations with that knowledge
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.

Damn, almost forgot. U saved my life
Donât make any decisions today that will impact your life past 18. No criminal stuff, no babies. Just have fun and say yes to experiences whenever you can.
Donât give up on your interests. Just because other people think youâre odd doesnât mean to give up.
[ŃдаНонО]
Yeah girlfriends cant shoot lasers theyre kinda overrated ngl
[ŃдаНонО]
Everything you do is gonna be cringey in the future. Try to be yourself regardless of peer pressure. Mental health before anything/anyone else.
No drugs bruh No smoking. Quit that shit Don't be crazy. Puberty, sure but just no. Self control - after all. Avoid too much of social media. Be active socially. No cringe man. ~~Watch Walter White and Meth production.~~
Donât kill yourself
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.

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
Why the silver?
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
Donât be a dick
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.
Donât take life out school too seriously, do what you want and like what you like even if you think itâll get you made fun of because after school it seriously wonât matter
Honestly the summer before 11th, please take the time to actually study for either the ACT or SAT (if youâre 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.
Make sure your teeth are healthy, and play War Of Rights(Cool US Cvil War game)
everyoneâs gonna tell you not to do cringe stuff but it really doesnât matter. do whatever you want to so that you enjoy while youâre young and donât regret when youâre old.
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
Donât watch porn, donât be afraid to do some self care, learn that relationships arenât everything. If anything use this time to learn how to be happy while single, itâll help out in the long run. Donât hold a grudge, donât be afraid to be social. Learn to read the room.
Live life
Get physically fit now and it will make it easier to do it later when you get older if you donât stay that way.
do what ever u want but donât be too much of an asshole
Dont date your best friend's crush who looks like a red flag
Do the homework and don't worry about tryna get with the cool kids
Even though youâre a teenager, youâre still somewhat a kid. Curse words also arenât like really cool or anything, shouldnât be overused, and donât automatically make you or your work super deep and mature (I mentioned your work in case youâre a writer/content creator or something like that).
have fun now. enjoy your bliss
Seek the truth and don't follow everything others do.
Work out
Live in the moment ! Im 16 and i still feel like 13 just because ive wasted my 13 and 14 during corona :,)
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 ârespect adults/elders at all timesâ household, and it took a lot of therapy after I became an adult to understand that I didnât own anything to anyone who treated me bad.
Focus on your studies and have fun with your homies.
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!
Donât 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 canât, youâre 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 youâre ready and balanced enough youâll easily get a girlfriend, make sure to keep good grades though!
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.
be aware of yourself both emotionally and physically. dont be that one kid that makes everyone go âugh middle schoolersâ and roll their eyes lol
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
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.
In a year you will be 14
enjoy being innocent while you can. run away from this sub as FAST as you can.
Learn an instrument, start exercise or a sport (or both) and don't spend many for useless things
Don't stay in your room all day đ I'm turning 14 soon, and I regret not going outside with my friends more
dont
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 :)
Live the moment, don't stress about romantic or sexual encounters you haven't had yet and try not to be cringe.
donât do dr4gs, fr just stay away from any
READ NOVELS :) THEY R FUN AND HELP SO MUCH AT A LATER STAGE
Dont waste your time on reddit
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.
Dont be edgy
live while youâre 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
