Hey 17 year old, If your high school years are ending, know that high school doesn't necessarily have to be "your best years of your life." If it was far from that, know there's an opportunity to have better years down the road. Most adults hated high school.

Hey 17 year old, When thinking about the future, of course, try your best, but it's okay if you don't end up as a valedictorian in a prestigious Ivy League University. Congratulate yourself on being your best, and success can come even without a famous college.

Hey 17 year old, If you feel misunderstood and lonely, know that just about everyone feels different from what's normal in life. It's because "normal" has such a narrow definition for most people, considering it means "being perfect," as if anyone is.

Hey 17 year old, If you've just broken up with someone, be careful not to move on too fast to the next relationship. It's easy to be emotionally manipulated by the wrong person after just a breakup. Romance doesn't mean happily ever after all the time.

Hey 17 year old, Your decision on what to do in college or what college to go to is not a decision meant to be made by your parents or family, even if they pressure you to do something you do not want to do.

Hey 17 year old, Whether you're a man or a woman, it's helpful to look up the dating term of what a "nice guy," means. Look up "signs of a nice guy," or "nice guy syndrome." If you do not know, you are too innocent to date.

Hey 17 year old, You're old enough to think critically about the movies and shows you watch. If you want to have deep conversations, not through just talking about boring stuff, but through analyzing films, TV and even video games, look up some reviews on YouTube.
