Life is Hard
When you're a teenager, you're just at the beginning of your life's lessons. Life is the toughest teacher you will ever have. “Life is a cruel teacher. She gives the test first, then the lesson.” Life will throw everything that it can at you; it will try to break you and choke you until you can't breathe, but you can't let it.
Don't Expect Smooth Seas
There will be many challenges, obstacles and curve balls swung your way. Just try to take life as it comes. Don't fight against the current because you'll just wear yourself out. If there's a door that is standing wide open for you and another that you're trying to get through by knocking it down, sometimes it's best to take the door that's already open for you. In other words don't try to be someone/something you're not.
Learn
Learn how to budget and manage your money, how to open a checking/savings account, and how to use credit wisely and live within your means. Your future self will thank you for it. Buy quality items you can keep around for a long time to come, not cheap crap that breaks that you'll have to buy again in a year. Invest in yourself, your education, your personal improvement, your health and your relationships to others.
Assume Change Will Come
Life is
Keep Your Plans Loose
Speaking of plans, keep them loose and flexible. It's good to have an idea of things you want to accomplish and where you want to be a couple years down the road, but honestly no one knows what's going to happen tomorrow, let alone 5 years from now. It's fine to make some plans but be flexible and willing to change them. Remember that people change and things happen that will push you in one direction or another. Don't waste time beating yourself up because your plans didn't go the way you wanted. Don't worry
Time Is a Limited Resource
Nothing lasts forever. Enjoy every moment that you have. Enjoy life and practice being present in the moment because it goes by extremely fast. There will be both good and bad times. The bad thing
