Hey 16 year old, Never simply waste your life living in one place without traveling, working all your life and dying. This is my fear of sitting in one place all my life. Travel, have fun, do what you love to do, and most importantly, fulfill yourself. At the end

Hey 16 year old, Try not to create your image as an introverted person. This image sticks and you cannot for the life of it come out of it. Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself. Never. I repeat Never compromise on your studies.

Hey 16 year old, Don't watch too much news if you want to stay sane. Limit news to a chosen specific number of minutes per day to stay informed, and then go distract yourself with something else. Even video games and Netflix is a better choice than the news.

Hey 16 year old, When you have a 3 day weekend, do all of your chores (laundry, cleaning, homework, projects, etc) the night BEFORE your 3 day weekend begins. You may have to stay up late that night but you'll thank yourself later when you have 3 full days to relax.

Hey 16 year old, Do chores when you feel angry. Keep to yourself and wash dishes, gardening, sweeping the floor, etc. Use all that adrenaline towards something that will benefit you instead of doing impulsive stuff.

Hey 16 year old, If someone makes an offensive comment on someone's race, gender, sexuality, social class or anything similar, then don't laugh at it if you want to stop it. Just keep a straight serious face the whole time, to make it extremely awkward.

Hey 16 year old, If a man makes an indirect sexual comment about your body as a woman without your consent, ask him, "What do you mean?", "Can you be more specific?", "I'm not sure what you mean?" or "Can you repeat what you said? I didn't hear it."

Hey 16 year old, If you're sending nudes of yourself to people you don't know, or even your boyfriend/girlfriend, know that having nudes on minors on hand, even of your own self, is a criminal offense. It might even circulate throughout the internet.

Hey 16 year old, If you're making fun of someone online for no good reason, know there is an increased risk of self harm for people your age, or even in other age groups. In cases of suicide, some say the reason is suicide, while others say it is murder.

Hey 16 year old, Responding to everything with negativity is a terrible habit that's easy to fall into. Internet culture rewards us for pessimism, but during personal interactions it's a huge turn-off. Don't be surprised if friends leave if you always complain.

Hey 16 year old, If you have to make a presentation in front of a group of people volunteer to be the first one up as everyone else will be so nervous about their own presentation that they won't pay attention to yours and will more than likely forget any mistake.

Hey 16 year old, If you ever feel lonely just watch streamers with 10 viewers on twitch. They will always listen to you, appreciate just you being there. Win-Win for both.

Hey 16 year old, if you're unable to fall asleep at night instead of closing your eyes do the opposite. Keep your eyes wide open. You'll feel drowsy and will automatically close your eyes. If your mind starts racing again open your eyes again.

Hey 16 year old, You may not like being in pictures or taking them, but you will hate that you have no photos of some time period when you’re older. Take pictures even if it is out of your comfort zone occasionally, for your future self.

Hey 16 year old, Always be prepared to leave your employer because they are prepared to leave you. Most employers, especially if you have a low ranking job, will quickly be happy to replace you if you're gone. Some people even die, and employers don't care.
