What advice would you give to teens a year or two younger than yourself?

I would say never start smoking.





I stupidly started when I was fifteen and now I'm eighteen and probably have the lungs of an old man. I'm constantly skint and you'll realise its not so cool when you're driven to vile acts of desperation (like paying for cigarettes with pennies, or fishing through the dirty ashtray for any half-smoked cigarettes) just for your fix because you become a monster after half a day of no smoking. I genuinely wish I had never started and I implore anyone who has picked up cigs for the first few times to call it quits while you still can!

I would probably tell them to NEVER lie and be happy with the friends you have!!!!!! i lied when i was younger and now im just gaining my friends trust back and even now i still sometimes lie and its hard and when im not my friends ask are you sure thats the truth! it hurts and if i could go back in time i would change it!!!! i would have such a better life if i hadn't lied!
I agree with the girl who said get involved . I am a Year 11 Ambassador and it looks good on sixth form application forms. It also helps you become a leader and a good-listener. You should join a club too. Some of my friends tease me because of my post but I don't care I get more respect from the younger students and teachers plus I feel proud that the younger sudents look up at me!!
I would say stop being an ****, you don't know everything.


I would also tell them to stop stealing daddies vodka, because i had a problem with alcohol for a couple of years and it only led to trouble.





but lets face it they wouldn't listen!
Aside from all the standard ';don't';s...





When you feel emotional or depressed, don't act on it!





Just sit it out, and eventually you'll feel better and be able to think more clearly and deal with the problem more rationally.
Be involved.





I've been encouraging some of the 6th and 7th graders at my school to run for student council for quite some time now. I see future leaders in them.
Don't dress like other people. I never did (luckily) but as us teens are getting older, FINALLY all the people that have been wearing Hollister etc. are finally discovering it's actually NOT that cool.
it may sounds stupid but its not as stupid as starting smoking in the 1st place. Join a club or seek help from friends and family. Ask your doctor for further help and try nicoteen gum, patches etc.


hope this helped
To stop paying so much attention to girls who have nothing better to do with their lives then try and bring people down, they're not worth it. It's just jealousy.
i would say to actually concentrate in school and not muck about. when i was in year 9 we has this teacher that let us do anything in science - i took so much advantage of this (DON'T!) yeah it was fun at the time, but now i'm almost failing science.





also, i would say, don't muck about with boys - forget them. concentrate on things that actually matter like school and family, and not go through the aggro of boys. when i was 14 i was with a lad for 5 months - he abused me so much and made me hate myself (still do now, but my current boyfriend is being so amazing to me about everything.) this boy was definately not worth the five months of my life (the bastard!).





so yeah.





All my best (:
