Teens what is the biggest issue you have faced in your life and what advice would you give other teens in...?

your situation.





My advice never let a boy ruin your friendships and once he does something pretty bad like a major lie or catching them asking other girls to strip on cam finish it there and then and don't give them a second chance because i made this mistake and he keep doing this and used emotional blackmail to keep me.





Another would always follow your heart, when my and the boy above split up I had feelings for my bestfriend i wasn't sure if it would wreck everything between us and nearly a year on i'm glad i acted on my feelings because he seriouly is the best thing to happen to meTeens what is the biggest issue you have faced in your life and what advice would you give other teens in...?
Well, I'm a 15 year old who is married, and a huge issue that I have face, and still face are people who just don't understand. Before I became pregnant I never really had to deal with people saying negative things behind my back, and I thought I had ton of friends, but after I became pregnant and got married, it was like the day I came back to school, the I discovered many things. I discovered who my real friends were, and I had to stand up for myself and take what other people thought about me. I know I love my husband and daughter, but in other people's eyes I am just some idiot teenage girl who didn't use protection and was forced into a young unhappy marriage. I don't look at it that way. I really grew up this past year because of all of this, and It has made me a better person.





My advice to teens are if you stumble, if you fall down, if something happen in your life that you never expected would or could happen to you, do what YOU know is best to make YOU happy. Don't do what makes your friends happy, your teachers happy, or even at times your parents, do exacly what you know is best for you, and don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't or that you shouldn't keep going. If I had done what everone else was trying to press me to do, It would have been the easy way out. And if raising my beautiful baby girl, and being married to my best friend is the hardest thing I'll ever have to do, then I'll have to take this challenge.Teens what is the biggest issue you have faced in your life and what advice would you give other teens in...?
The biggest issue that I have faced in my life was losing my best friend in September.





My advice to anyone, who i hope never has to go through the same thing is to treasure your time with the people you love and to always remember to tell the ones you love ';I love you.'; I never got the chance to do that with Jordon and I hope that one day, I'll see him with the Cloud of witnesses!!





b blessed.
Well. The biggest thing thus far also has to do with boys. My friend had a boyfriend I detested. I think I went to far, tho. To other teens that hate their friends' bf/gf: Let your friend know you're not fond of them but don't bash them. Don't bug them about breaking up. Let your friend figure out if he/she is a jerk. People have to figure things out by themselves, cuz they won't believe anyone else.
dont let your past affect your future.

Don't waste your life always obeying people. Take risks. Don't care about what other people think. Don't give into peer pressure (good or bad) because that makes you weak. Make your own decisions. Don't go crazy over a boy/girl. That's just stupid, I mean you're in frickin' high school. Be friends with every crowd (the nerds, the jocks, etc.). Be nice, kind, and grateful. Be curious. Rebel against what you don't like. And the most important thing ever:





Be yourself, seriously.
the biggest issue that i have faced is the whole inter-racial dating , with people who i though would be there for me weren't.





my advice is don't give in to peer pressure coz you'll regret it later and don't let what others do or say to you put you down or stop you from what you want to do
the biggest issue so far is getting pregnant at age 15. my adive i beautiful and wondeful to get pregnant but maybe when your about 22:/ because having a baby at young age is stupid and i was stupid to have sex in the first place when im only 15 -_- its a HUGE lessson to be learnd but in the end u end up with a beautiful baby (or babies)
Well. I have been through lots of things.


+ Drugs only make you happy for the time your high, after that your ever more depressed.


+ Alcohol is not your friend.


+ Just because you have sex and you use condoms and birth control correctly, doesn't mean you won't end up pregnant. I used both correctly and both failed and am now pregnant.
my advice, drinking, and drugs do bad things to you ok? take it from someone with experience. my best friend died in a drunk car accident, and my irlfriend committed suicide
Heights.





Go to the top of the Empire State Building in NYC if you get the chance.
don't have a care in the world ignore people who are negative and hang with your m8ts and Enjoy you self
my advice is .. ..... Drugs are bad, mmmkay
I was sick with chronic kidney stones, and ovarian cysts all of my highschool years up until I was 19. I had to switch to being homeschooled, and was constantly drugged up. Instead of keeping up with my math, I was having surgeries and I was trying to get past all of the pain.





Now, here I am, 20 and trying to re-learn all of the stuff I missed so that I can go to college and become a teacher.





My advice is to never give in. You can do it.





Also, I'm in a long distance relationship. Very VERY long distance. He lives in New Zealand, while I live in America. We're going to get married! I can't wait. :)
advice: Self-Enlightenment usually makes stressful situations easier to discern and control.





biggest issues: mom past away, dad in jail at 13. . .i was raped. had twins (14). also had a brain injury. so the bills piled up. i had to miss school to work for a while. i lived with my aunt, who'd come home drunk every night and didn't care for her child. so i ended up taking care of her kid when i was 14. moved in with my boyfriend at 16. . . basically i've been taking care of myself since i was 14.
I agree with your advice. I wish I knew that beforehand.





My parents divorced when I was 12. My mom had been bipolar even before I was born so I never truly knew her. I guess that's why my parents divorced. I got pregnant at 16. First advice:





When your parents divorce it's about them not being able to stay together. It's not about you so it's not your fault. Your parents can handle your behavior usually and in most cases it wouldn't affect their marriage. Before divorce a lot of options were looked at and it's a very very tough decision for your parents. Don't take it out on them. Depending on how civilized they are it can be a clean divorce whereby you decide where to live and whereby you can see both of your parents. I'm blessed to have had my parents divorced in a civilized way and there was no competition between them for anything (money, house and kids). My mom did have a voluntary payout from my dad to help her settle with me and my siblings miles away from FL.





About bipolar and mental illnesses.. My mom was diagnosed with BP before I was born. It was extremely tough at times because she would just lash out. In such cases even with other mental illnesses you have to be patient. It's like a physical illness, you have to be patient and you can't take whatever people who are in such state to heart. They don't mean it and try don't want to say it but it happens. It's not your fault and theirs. I learned my mom's triggers and so did my siblings so we put our lives around her's to make her as comfy as possible. I don't deny that I have been saddened by her many times by the way she spoke to me or cut me out completely but when she is OK she's the sweetest person you'll ever know.





I was a teenage mom, a decision I wouldn't recommend but depending on your situation you have to make a decision based on that. If you cannot raise a child and you have no support then you need to make a decision based on that. I had sex because I thought I loved this guy who was two timing on me without my knowledge. Being twenty now and being with my soul mate I realized there is a fine difference between liking and loving. If a guy wants sex with you against your will then he is not right for you. A person who loves you is able to wait as long as he should. He would also support and help you and not deny you when you're pregnant by him and neither would he be two timing.





Hope I helped someone. =)
My biggest issue also has to do with boys but also with the mentality of girls. I was in a situation where I was almost raped and I was too embarrassed and ashamed to tell people. I thought I could get by on my own but it just led to me being an emotional wreck and future relationship problems. I wouldn't let the boy I loved touch me afterwards, and when he broke up with me after that, I let boys use me just because I was scared of standing up for myself and I hated my body.





My advice is to always tell someone if you have been hurt, because it could lead to more problems if you don't. In my case, I ended up telling a trusted teacher, but it could be a parent, counsilor, friend, coach, or other family member.
Don't fall for someone who not willing to catch you! I no it sounds corny but I fell really really HARD and FAST for a guy that could give a **** less about me so he made me do things I didn't wanna do like date his ugly *** cousion and tricked me into girving him my facebook password and sent mean and rude stuff to all my friends. Oh and he got my favorite teacher whop was more than just a teacher to me to HATE me oh well. Live and learn and yours also sorta ties into this boy.
The biggest issue I ever had and that is still really hard on me is losing one of my guy friends in a car accident and my grandfather in less than a month after wards. (back in march it happened) I mean a lot of people can talk about how a guy broke their heart (i have been personally) but you can find a new boyfriend, I'll never be able to replace the two people I loved back in my life.


My advice would be don't take something for granted or what is there one day may not be there the next so appreciate what you have. That day in school he was there, he was in most of my classes, he was making jokes like normal and then the next day he was gone. I still cry about it, writing this answer is making me cry about it. Stick with your friends and family in times like that, because you really need each other.
The biggest issue I have ever had to deal with is the death of my uncle. He committed suicide in 2006 when I was eleven. He was more like a father to me than my own father is.





My advice to anyone who has a close friend or relative commit suicide, is to just know that it wasn't your fault. For whatever reason that person killed themselves, you had nothing to do with it. That person had had their own problems they thought they couldn't get out of. Also, know that the person loved you, and that even if you tried, you wouldn't be able to keep them from killing themselves.
Well, I got together with my fiancee pretty young (15) and we have been together for five years, so I've never had trouble in the dating department.


But my gram, who is a psychologist, has read 100's of books about the adolescent mind (and I have read her books too) so I have some advice.





1. Sex. It's everywhere, and (mostly) girls feel the pressure to engage in it. I don't care if you're ';in love';, or been with the person for over 6 months, etc. It's NOT a good idea to have sex young. Sex is something that doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is something that can also scar a person for life. I'm currently reading a book called ';Hooked'; that talks about how casual sex among teens can negatively effect a person. Don't give up something as precious as virginity to anyone...wait.





2. Drugs. I will admit, yes I dabbled in them for a little while. Smoking weed, etc. People will try to convince you that ';smoking weed isn't bad for you'; etc, but don't let all that fool you. It affects you definately. Maybe weed itself doesn't kill, but it can mess you up enough to do something that MAY kill you. Being high alters your decision making and you may end up doing something really dumb. Same thing with alcohol. Yeah it all seems fun, but seriously, no one like a druggy loser.





There is a lot of things that kids have to go through these days, and it is unfortunate that teens fall victim of this. And most unfortunately of all, some will never learn.
