The biggest lie I was told growing up was you have time. The moment you hit 18 everyone treats you like your 35 and everyone expects you to know what your going to do.
Hahaha, that's not even remotely true. A huge amount of kids go straight into college and never really have to be adults until they're in their early 20s. They don't, but they should.
@@Zdfzrfdsfj no one MAKES them join the military, that's their choice. Plus, I was paying my own way by senior year of HS. Getting a job and paying small isn't. God help them when they're actually 35.
Thats messed up! I have a couple of friends who's 18 and there still trying to figure out their lives! I'm 16 and being told that will seriously mess me up
Since we're giving sage advice here's something I always told my soldiers. In any situation if No is the worst thing that can happen, go get your No, you just might get a yes, and even if you do get a No that's no different than not trying. Just remember that No is always an option, if it wasn't then what you were asking wasn't a question it was an order and you don't have the right to order anyone to do anything.
Here's something you rarely hear: it's okay to tell people in your life, even family, to take a hike when all they are doing is making you feel bad. My mom was manipulative, abusive, aggressive etc. I got anxiety from just being around her. I cut all ties with her about 7 years ago and I haven't missed her a second. You don't have to tolerate people in your life just because they are family. If they make your life miserable, get out.
Faithfully with my husband since age 17. Met at 15 and were friends, started dating at 17, married at 20. 19th anniversary in january. We both had "fun" first and are best friends, it helps, love will not be enough in a marriage.
Adulthood is much worse than being a teenager. You frequently are helpless and everyone is going to expect you to just know what you’re supposed to do. The more you prepare when you’re young, the more likely you’ll be successful as an adult. Never put off for tomorrow what you should do today.
Here’s my advice: the transition from high school to college is gonna be STRESSFUL!! No matter who you are, you’re gonna feel stressed out, whether financially, emotionally, physically, or all the above.
Also, just be yourself. Don’t follow the trends the other kids are doing if you don’t want to. Especially on social media. Don’t post anything dumb that’ll get you in trouble later on in life. Please just be yourself bc at the end of the day, you only have yourself.
As a first semester college student, I'm totally agree. At beginning you start gives small task and more task (rather writing task or social task) daily. then you start feel like 'man this Tiring but I can manage' then after the mid test, the shitstorm of assignment start hitting hard like being hit by a magnet train. And you have to start working extra hard your practical assignment and your daily task and you don't have a choice. that you desperately do it anyway and count days to do final test. So that you can finally relax at least for a couple week before next semester. P.S sorry for bad typing. English isn't my mother language.
Teens don’t ask for help because of teachers u would be suprised how much teachers humiliate kids for asking questions they think are dumb I feel bad for those that did that’s why I barely ever ask questions
@@zadock6370 “hey teacher I’m sorry but I didn’t catch everything that you just said. Can you please repeat blah blah blah.” Teacher: “No! It’s not my fault you weren’t paying attention. You should’ve been listening.”
They should have told us we didn’t really “have all the time in the world to decide” what we wanted to be when we grew up. I don’t know why they’re always telling teenagers that. A couple years later you ARE a grownup, and a lot of doors are closed.
They say that not to tell you to reach for nothing, they want you to reach for everything. There are tons of end goals that require the same benchmarks, that statement is meant to broaden your horizons by pushing towards multiple dreams, not to give you a license to coast with no goals in mind.
False, you still get a lot of opportunities to find your dream job but of course many jobs required prerequisite including studying and also having some experience. And that is where mentorship and internship comes in. Since you have to start from somewhere and to build your experience. And then you can climb your way up the ladder but joining a club, organization, volunteer, or whatever can boost your chances to be higher and speaking a different language or even getting some skills will do you good for your resume. And it is very important to be optimistic. I see some people are being really pessimistic and being negative. However, it is important to keep your spirits up and that's the only way how you progress in life.
@@bcchiriac4512 my father is doing a degree in computer science, he's almost 50... And he's still extremely passionate and quick with learning. He works an 8-3 job, and spends 3-5 hours daily on studies of his interest :)
"Things they didn't tell you in high-school" That suicide will be an average, common thought in so many of our lives that Noone says anything about it until it's too late. Not enough teachers talk to students about there mental health cause "it will all work out in the end anyway". Make sure you keep up with your friends from high-school. Even if you don't talk with them much? Give them a shout and make sure there ok. You'll be glad you did.
The problem is that so many teenagers are convinced of two things, their immortality, and that adults in general don't understand what a teens life is like, therefore any advice given doesn't apply.
@@PeninsulaCity2024 I think the Infographic show, Really didn't shed light on abusive homes, But that could be a topic in of itself, There is no rule that applies to everyone in life.
Me, grew up in an emotionally abusive family with emotionally abusive teachers who mocked me for my mental health struggles. School was beyond hellish and I had nobody. I fell in love with the sport of boxing and am on a path to do that as a career and only that. When life gives you the cold shoulder and kindness akin to an icy stare, you learn to breathe fire.
As an adult in my early twenties, I hardly dated and I only dated twice in my entire life. But I was never lucky with dating as a teen which doesn't mean I'm not likeable. And I had several rejections with some saying I'm not their type! But I would say keep going because you never know who could be your future spouse! And we all have different lives and is a good reminder not to be judged and if someone judges you too much just ditch that person and take care of your overall well being! Be around people who uplifts your spirit with positive encouragement not only in dating but with everything. And behavior is everything when it comes to dating.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj I know but always remember your parents would not be alive forever and siblings will live their own life too! So who you going to be with after all. Ever thought of that question?
Marine Biology and Marine Mechanics were part of the magnet program at my school. Really cool that they basically taught real vocations for those interested. We need to eliminate the current system and implement more skill based classes that qualify the youth for more things than McDonalds fresh out of school
Again WHO HAS THAT CLASS. They can cut sports and arts but keep marine biology. Foh. I'd love to see the stats of the students at a school like that. Bet I can tell you what type of ppl go to a school like that.
Man, almost 10 years to this day I had gotten my heart broken by my first girlfriend, Im so glad it happened and I'm so glad I was totally oblivious to the possibility of losing somebody. It takes good things and bad to fully live life. Can't live in a fairy tale forever.
In a weird twist of fate, I happened to end up with my high-school crush 24 years after graduation and she has turned out to be the best that has ever happened to me.
There are 3 different "high school sweetheart" couple in my family who are still together decades later. They are all genuinely happy together and very faithful to each other. I think it's because they're more like friends in so many regards, but the romantic love is still part of the equation. This may not be ultra common, but I've seen it happen. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone :)
This video made me start thinking about communicating more with my 9 year old. I paused this video for an hour and spoke to him about what he wants in the future.
I've had so many of my former students look me up over the years. I get invited to weddings, birthdays, baby showers, etc... We had a major tragedy at our high school and I was one of a handful of teachers who showed up and cried with the kids at a memorial service and hugged them. I was shocked at how few of my colleges could be bothered to take two hours out of their life to show they cared. But because I was willing to show my students my grief and pain over the loss, they felt like they could speak to me as a person and not view me as simply an authority figure. I guess I'm writing this to say that no matter how rough or tough a teen might seem, they're still just kids. A little vulnerability in the correct setting goes a long way to getting them to open up and trust that you care.
Whoever made this clearly never had foreign parents. “Tryout new things” “You don’t have any responsibilities” As an adult, I found that It’s the complete opposite
So you're telling me teenagers need to be locked in their houses all their teenage years doing nothing but repeating the same thing over and over again like a machine?
@@qstsorin6098 Not at all what I was saying, you need to work in your reading comprehension skills. All I’m saying is that all these “advice” he’s giving us is useless as foreign parents do not give their kids much freedom whatsoever, therefore these options are unrealistic
@@neworld2114 he was exaggerating the other persons opinion to serve his argument. He obviously understood but decided to put words in the other guys mouth. Maybe work on your comprehension of social interaction.
Some solid advice for those teens who are stuck, trying to figure out how to help keep your family. YOU can't please everyone, and YOU can't keep a failing marriage together. Your happiness matters too, and it should matter to you how you feel.
Speaking as someone who's first "proper" relationship was with someone 4 years older that me. He was definitely using me for something else. However, I am now in a relationship with someone who is 13yrs older than me, (we started properly dating when I was 18), he has always respected my boundaries, and although we were interested in each other when I was at school, he resected my choice to focus on school and we just spent the time getting to know each other. Overall I do not recommend that teenagers date someone who is older than them (by a couple of years) until they are at least 18. If you do find someone you like and they're older than you, they will wait. If they are interested in you as a person and are happy just talking and being friends, that's a good sign! You may end up dating them, or you could realize that you don't like them romantically. HOWEVER, if they aren't happy to wait and keep pushing, walk away!! That is a massive massive RED FLAG 🚩🚩 I wish I had known this earlier, so if any teenager is still reading this, remember it please.
I hid my passion for animals as a teenager due to ridicule, instead giving into peer pressure and “liking” what everyone else did. Now, at 29, I am pursuing my childhood dreams in school and value what makes me different. Please, embrace your passions and follow your dreams, despite what the world may say, or think.
Teenage love is not love, okay tell it to my aunt and uncle who are married when they were 15 and 16 and stayed married till they were in their mid-80s and one of them passed. I know many people engaged in high school and married right out of high school and now are happy, successful and very financially well-off. The key to that is of course got married and stayed married.
I was pretty angry when he said that tenage love doesn't last and it's simply not true love! that's simply not true! I've Heard wonderful stories from happy couples that have stayed together for half of their lives
@@esosaoxs7856 I don't know for sure but I'm going to say you're on the younger side of life, cuz once you can say remember 30 40 years ago you realize that things really haven't changed. Yes times change but humanity at it's core doesn't. If you find a perfect person to spend decades of your life with it's better to start earlier and be together longer than to be lonely and searching for years.
I am 18 and I gotta say all this is true. I got my heart broken when I was 17 and I have talked with some girls/ managed to get broken other times as well but it came to a point in which I did not care any longer if It happened again. Also, it is okay to fail. We are not designed to excel in everything and sometimes there are subjects we dont feel good at. I am lucky I have a brother who cares for me even why he is 6 years older. I would also have another brother older than me but suddenly he died young before I was born and I just recently discovered that. I still feel bad but I guess that is the way of life. I got another tip. Just be you. Don’t try to be like that cool kid and to fit in other groups. You do not have to change yourself in order for others to accept you. You are great as you are!
i love my mom because she'll always ask our side of the story and call us back if she might have misunderstood something. she also acknowledges our feelings which lets us know that she has a valuable reason of why she's making us do the things we do.
I must admit hearing that last point struck me hard. Not for realizing my problems aren’t a big of a deal (They really are) but it’s because of the fact it’s something I hear a lot from my abusive parents who keep saying other people have it worse so my problems don’t matter. I won’t go into too much details into what happens for privacy reasons but I’m unsure if that last point should’ve been said.
I dropped out of school and went into trades and I still don't regret it. my childhood ended at 13 I was already working by 16 I had my own business. School is great but I think they should have more real life training most college kids are as dumb as can be. Teach teens how to work and about pay.
If I had one bit of advice for teenagers it would be: Don't assume that people older than you are smarter or wiser. Question what you are told and look for evidence that it's right or it's wrong. "Beliefs" that try to dictate your behavior may not have your welfare in mind.
So far I've found the transition from high school to university really good for me. I really struggled with my mental health throughout high school but now I'm feeling much better. To anyone stressed in high school bc of older people saying that life just gets harder, just remind yourself that it's different for everyone. People who say that adulthood is worse, often peaked in high school and strived in those enclosed environments. When I was living with my aunt she always told me how lucky my cousin and I were and encouraged us to enjoy our teenage years while they lasted bc it only gets worse. During that time of my life I felt like I had no freedom, going to school and always having to be at the same spot each day. What I love about uni, is the freedom it gives you. I know it's stressful at times, but ultimately there's more freedom. In uni I'm able to see my girlfriend on weekends, work on school stuff wherever I want (for the most part), and see my friends as well. Yes there are more responsibilities and I know it's diff for everyone, but personally I find the world straight after high school is better, even though I know it will get financially more difficult down the road.
Yeah, that last one was the biggest for me. Enjoy that time in your life! Being a teen was hard and stressful, but looking back I see that it was NOTHING compared to what you will have to face as ana adult. As an adult, there are times where you will have VERY few options. But as a teen, the world is completely open to you! Revel in that!
Having a bond with the adults (teachers) is way more precious then having a friendship with some random teenager. As the adults will always remember you and keep in touch with you. While the teenagers dump you the second you are from school.
I'll put it this way, I dropped out of high school, it just wasn't for me. I had a lot of trouble concentrating (which turned out to be misdiagnosed ADHD) and teachers did nothing except treat me as a nuisance. I dropped out of school at 15 and started working. As I earned money I paid to study courses that interested me, courses that would open doors for jobs I may like to do. I'm now 28, earning 6 figures through my main job and a side business. Which is much more than any teacher who told me I never would, will ever earn.
My only advice to teenagers would be, just live your own life. Don't spend too much time caring about what your friends are doing or where they're at, their lives aren't yours and they aren't going to pay your bills. Now when it comes to paying bills, try to find a way to make money that is enjoyable to you. If you don't enjoy it, it becomes a gruelling, repetitive, mind numbingly boring day to day task which eventually can manifest into things like depression (I've been there a few times). If you don't enjoy what you do on a daily basis, you won't enjoy your life to the extent it deserves to be enjoyed.
The parts where you stated about: - "You probably will only keep in contact with a handful of your [high school] friends anyway.", - "Your teachers can agree to be your job references." and "You might find yourself grabbing a drink and commiserating over the gool old days". Are things I find true for myself. Heck, I only go out with two of my friends nowadays. They are the people who has something great going on with their life. One is my college classmate, and one is my college professor. Being with great people can impact you positively or negatively depends on your current perspective. Personally, I take all the things they said positively and try to analyze them and implement some of them to my life.
Well, in this video, I feel that you’re talking to one particular group of people. I believe you’re referring to a group of teens that don’t have much work ethic in life. Some of us teens are highly creative and innovative. Some of us teens will change the world by the time we even turn 18, and we won’t need a miserable 9-5 job. The world we live in today has lots of opportunities and anyone with hope of happiness isn’t looking for just any job to get by. They’re looking for something they love to do so their life isn’t messed up. Just something to touch up on. I don’t know if you’re referring to teens who never work or something, but those are just the vibes I got.
I know people that are very creative and innovative and smart that have failed at life. Just because you may be skilled in one area of life doesn’t mean you will automatically succeed and put life on auto-pilot. In fact, life is better when you have to work for it because you only live once. And you need to master all aspects of yourself and skills of life in order to truly succeed.
I'm 19 and I can't relate to any of them. I'm an introvert who wants to be alone. I have anxiety, so it was HARD, but my mom helped me and I passed high school. I also got my first job in high school. Then, I got a 2nd job a few months ago.
Starting from 5th-grade till High School graduation in an all-boys school, it's always the *wake-up, go to school, go home, not take schoolwork seriously, struggle to find friends with similar interests, and not get to learn about real-life careers* routine. I wish I had the molded mindset of working on a real job so I can get used to it because I feel useless after graduating from computer college.
I would say don’t go to university or college after high school if you don’t know what you want to do yet. Don’t go just because all your friends are going/doing post secondary ed. Instead travel & work for a year or two, or a few years longer, to find something that you’re really interested in, and want to do as a a career. As well, it’s ok if you have more than one career in your life. If you want to be a dentist, you don’t have to be a dentist your whole life if something else crops up that you’re passionate about & dentistry now drags you down.
I've had multiple people tell me I'm weird for things I've done and some even tried to bully me. But all I could think of was me being weird for me amazing funny friends, kept my eyes open, and taught me to just try new things weird or not. I was around friends that were open minded and nothing was off the table and it gave me an exciting mind set. Now those kids that hated me for being weird work horrible jobs. I have a fun great paying job and I go on so many adventures with my "weird" friends. If I was "normal" I would not of had such an exciting life by the age of 23. We need to teach children it's okay to be weird and different. If you wanna go to a anime convention and dress up do it! Even as an adult people question me because my interest are weird but I'm out having fun while they are at home watching reruns on TV. It's never too late to bring out the weird child we all have in us. Be free and enjoy life!
Thank you for saying that@@fordlover3293 I gave up trying to be normal a long time ago. When I meet people for the first time I say I'm so and so and I'm a very weird person. If there is anybody weirder than me I would love to meet them.
The first thing is very true, I spent 4 years in a high school marching band that was mediocre to bad because so many people didn't take it seriously and we're just there to hang out with their friends. I then did marching band in college and it was so different.
I’m 23. I’m glad I never got into any serious relationship as a teen. And frankly I don’t plan on it anytime soon, if ever. I’m quite happy doing my own thing
I feel sad for you, that your moral and world view is shaped by a random person who doesn't even know you. And you believe mostly everything this RUclips channel says.
Pro tip for elementary(1-8) Do everything you want, beat up kids, scam Pokemon cards, swear at teachers. As long as you don't get expelled or in major trouble do whatever you want. I didn't get back at my scammers, bullies or bad teachers. When I finally had the conscience to do so I was in online school. Lots of regrets.
I wasted my childhood and my highschool and college on grades. Never made friends, never cared about being social, never got into a relationship, and now even though I am making money, I am just full of depressed thoughts and I live alone in my hose. And Im just 25. I workout a lot and watch youtube in my free time. This is my life.
One thing I absolutely wish I did more was prioritize my mental health, and not focus on being perfect in school. Yeah, i got good grades, but now im in a community college with only 2 friends cause I never went out.
I made this mistake in high school and you all need to know not to do it: Don’t focus all or even mostly on work in high school. Instead, aim for middle grades like B’s and learn to communicate socially. Make a large friend group. Exercise and make yourself feel good. You can even date. Trust me, if you only focus on academics, once you get to college age you’ll become a depressed and lonely wreck like me. Don’t focus only on academics. Remember, how can a good job improve your life if you’re going to be alone and isolated the entire time?
I wasn't the best student in high school and I graduated with a GPA of 1.5, but because of my peer advisor and keeping in touch with the Dean at the college I wanted to go to I was given a full scholarship to that school. That saying is true sometimes it's not what you know but WHO you know. Sometimes I still kind of feel bad that someone may have busted their butts in school and didn't get in because of me.
SWEAR! ✋🏻 What infographics just said from 3:37 to 3:48, I attest to as a former high school teacher of ELEVEN YEARS. Y'ALL! TALK to your teachers! We love you! We're here to help you! We're freaking human and we WANT to see y'all be successful!
Actually no one is really ready to become an adult. We just learn to get by with it. You will just wake up one day, realising you are already expected to behave as an adult.
You can do many more exciting and interesting things as an adult. Ever since I moved out I had to fight to survive but I've also had an amazing adventurous life by 23. Everyone talking bad about it are the ones that got talked into office jobs and were expected to raise a huge family. Live your life to your liking and then you'll truly start to live.
My story: Its sad that my family doesn't help me to become encouraged to do things thats actually good and motivative, because they EXPECT me to become happy with it, even thou I became disappointed to myself because of all the failures I make Because of that, I became a clueless teenager who has no interest and struggle to make friends (because no interest, and they don't like that)
Doing things outside of school matters more than school. Jobs care more about the community service you did than if you graduated. You lose opportunities not having graduated highschool, but you don't lose much by not going to college. See the world and have fun, live creatively. Don't think you have to live like everyone else in society. There's plenty of other healthy ways to make money that isn't a 9 to 5. But you have to start now!
The absolute truth is, nothing you do when you're under 18 in the USA will actually follow you for your entire life, unless it makes national headlines or something. I almost failed out of high school. I graduated with a 2.3 GPA. I wound up taking a college aptitude test a few years later and starting out in community college. I graduated from a state university a few years later, age 28, and even got accepted into Harvard for grad school, but couldn't go (they are in Boston, and I had kids at that point, I only applied to see if I could've gotten into my dream school). Now I have my MS in Economics and Finance, and working towards a PhD. I make 6 figures, which is great, because student loans lol. If you made ALL the mistakes as a teenager, you can still turn your life around!!! I had a super rough childhood and it just took me an extra few years to sort through all the trauma and be ready to move forward.
InfoG: Don't let your schoolwork consume your every day life Me: sure tell that to my teachers and parents let's see how hard they slap you Ahh the good old days where my teachers swamped me with work and expectations
In 6th grade I had a teacher who relentlessly teased me that I couldn't learn quick. I had minor brain damage and things were and still are hard to learn. I remember once in class I was trying to pay attention and he embarrassed me by saying "why are you staring at me like I have 3 heads??!!" He'd hit on the girls. His wife even came in yelling he cheated. In 7th grade I found a teacher how to reach me and became a honor roll student and got student of the month so I remember I stared him (6th grade teacher) down the whole time I was on stage as they were talking about my new accomplishments. That's how I learned to adapt and learn while having minor brain damage. Mr. Drouin was a huge nightmare
Honestly as a teen I felt nothing twards my fellow students. Kept my head down focused on my classes and going from class to class I didn’t care to socialize or chat or hang out with others
Get good grades for the knowledge, you will need that. As far as grades, mine were terrible and I didn't finish high school, and I clear 200k a year. Go after your interest professionally, but learn business. Money is freedom, and you will be limited getting paid hourly or on a salary. Own your own business and get paid for your value, not time. Grades only matter if you work for other people,
My college transcripts only include a few classes from high school. And it was only the advanced classes for dual credit or AP. All else does not matter unless you pass or are seeking admission to a competitive college.
You aren’t entitled to a friends group. You have to earn it, also they’re not gonna be perfect and so don’t always expect them to always be there for you. And no you will not be going on Scooby Doo adventures together
Saying your love as a teen is not love is insulting and condescending! I’m 37 and have known 3 loves, at 16, 25, and 32. To say that my love was anything less at 16 than it was at 32 is just simply wrong. Each of those loves were very different in a few ways, but it was still very much so real love. I suspect that those that say teens can’t feel love were once teens that didn’t end up feeling love themselves and think that was universal. It’s not. The love felt as you age tends to deepen with maturity, and that may be why some feel that young love isn’t “real” love. Allow me a way to describe this idea visually. Think of love being water in a pool, and the point when someone is truly in love is when their head is just above the water. When you’re younger, and your head is barely above the water, the water is still pretty shallow. The level of the water from your own perspective is still very much almost going to drown you, but there just isn’t as much volume to it. As an adult, you can stand in much deeper water while keeping your head up, but again, from your perspective, the water level is the same on you as it was in your youth. With each drop of water in both of those scenarios comes another tiny piece of the things that make up love; feelings, life experiences, dating history, maturity, understanding your needs, and so on. The more water in the pool, the more nuance, but you are still experiencing the same feeling of the water lapping at your chin.
I know what you mean. The people in my life would give me anxiety especially my brother. When my mom had trouble breathing . He said do you want mom to die? Which hurt more than it helped and may have contributed to my anxiety.
I have dedicated myself to schoolwork. I currently have the bare minimum amount of friends/acquaintances in High School at the cost of high grades. I'm also a free thinker who doesn't get forced to do things by social pressure.
I’m a teen living in the Philippines, a 3rd world country, and I only have 1 thing to say, you don’t really have a choice, cuz if you’re not the best in your entire school and graduated from at least one of the top 10 schools in the country, you’re not getting an actual good job abroad, only labor of some kind. Trying to find work here in the homeland? Don’t make me laugh, the wages are so pitifully low that even nurses have trouble providing for only themselves, I’ve got a friend who’s parents are both neurosurgeons here and their way of living? Basically what’s considered common/average in the US. So for those of you 3rd world teens here, prioritize these when looking for a job: 1.) Can your grades and educational background get you into the job? 2.) how much does it pay? 3.) Do you enjoy it? These are the only 3 criteria, and you’ll have no choice but for passion to be on the bottom. Well, unless our government finally decides to do their job properly after literal decades.
"Have fun before you have to grow up too much" Me, a teenager, who takes care of my little brothers, disabled uncle, and does a big chunk of things like around the house, while also having to be the peacekeeper: *well*
5:53 The harsh reality is that as a teenager, you're going to have a broken heart at some point. Me, who never felt love: Signature look of superiority
I haven't gone through heartbreak yet and I'm 30. I lived a dull homeschooled life and kept to myself. The extra time I waited on my 3 year near hopeless job search was spent in places like church and the workplace was a sausage fest. I couldn't even afford home internet or smart phone plans to attempt dating websites. And if my long distance girlfriend breaks up, that would actually liberate me from sending her money or worrying about taking care of her Ex's child. Brutally honest, but sometimes that's just life.
It's easy to say 'try in school' when you aren't the one that suffered from undiagnosed ADHD, everyone ostracized you for being gay, and you suffered from depression and hated the toxic environment you were in.
aww thats cute- do what class you want to take- like Marine Biology... Me- Went to one of the poorest/underfunded schools in America- Teenage me...We have choices?..Other teens have a choice?! Whaaaa?! you mean they just don't pack you into whatever class has room? ... My guidance counselor didn't even help me with any college admissions, classes, issues with classmates nothing. Pretty much said half of us would be dead by the 3rd year after we graduated... guess she said why even bother
I remember doing really good in my biology class and when our teacher told us about the science classes we could take next year earth and space science being the easiest and biology being one of the harder one's and i chose earth and space because im really interested in space so instead of me getting the class i wanted he put me in chemistry🙃
When I tell u after graduating 2020 n getting married at 18 to a 31 year man I want everyone to know THEY DIDNT LIE ABOUT ANYTHING. I literally cried through the entire video😪. I wish I coulda change my ways
I honestly think that life after school is gonna be really depressing like boring jobs and just being out for long days. That’s why I’m thinking of what I want so I can make a change in this world and make special things so I feel like I am doing something good and right. That’s what I want to achieve and I feel like if I can it won’t be depressing like I expect if I dont do what I want. So to everybody whose scared of the future, just do what you like and go for something you really want.
Then do it. Worst thing that can happen is a no. By not asking the response remains a no. Unless you are autistic like me then I guess it should not be a problem.

Amazing video I love how you were calm yet very realistic and not hard lecturing
Lol like a teenager listens. I've got an 18yr old teenager and despite the great advice "he knows best".
The biggest lie I was told growing up was you have time. The moment you hit 18 everyone treats you like your 35 and everyone expects you to know what your going to do.
Hahaha, that's not even remotely true. A huge amount of kids go straight into college and never really have to be adults until they're in their early 20s. They don't, but they should.
@@johnnytmcq how bruh at 18 they ask you to join the military when a month ago you had to ask to go to the toilet
@@Zdfzrfdsfj no one MAKES them join the military, that's their choice.
Plus, I was paying my own way by senior year of HS. Getting a job and paying small isn't. God help them when they're actually 35.
Thats messed up! I have a couple of friends who's 18 and there still trying to figure out their lives! I'm 16 and being told that will seriously mess me up
@@johnnytmcq In my country they do force us to go to military service at 18
Since we're giving sage advice here's something I always told my soldiers.
In any situation if No is the worst thing that can happen, go get your No, you just might get a yes, and even if you do get a No that's no different than not trying. Just remember that No is always an option, if it wasn't then what you were asking wasn't a question it was an order and you don't have the right to order anyone to do anything.

@@mosddoomsday1 lol yea it was!
@@mosddoomsday1 thanks glad yall liked it, and I hope it helps.
Here's something you rarely hear: it's okay to tell people in your life, even family, to take a hike when all they are doing is making you feel bad. My mom was manipulative, abusive, aggressive etc. I got anxiety from just being around her. I cut all ties with her about 7 years ago and I haven't missed her a second. You don't have to tolerate people in your life just because they are family. If they make your life miserable, get out.
We need to lose the "blood is thicker that water" I chose my friends. I can't choose family.
i'm so sorry that happened to you, i'm glad you parted ways from ur mom
Oh that's my dad for you
I love me mom. But it literally kills me being near her
@Dave Wraptastic You should try meeting her again. People can change if they lose something they love
Faithfully with my husband since age 17. Met at 15 and were friends, started dating at 17, married at 20. 19th anniversary in january. We both had "fun" first and are best friends, it helps, love will not be enough in a marriage.

I’m struggling as a teenager, everyone makes adulthood sound worse than being a teenager. It really scares me and makes me feel helpless.
Imagine adulthood as a final boss. If you train enough as a teen it is going to be easy.
Adulthood is much worse than being a teenager. You frequently are helpless and everyone is going to expect you to just know what you’re supposed to do. The more you prepare when you’re young, the more likely you’ll be successful as an adult.
Never put off for tomorrow what you should do today.

Here’s my advice: the transition from high school to college is gonna be STRESSFUL!! No matter who you are, you’re gonna feel stressed out, whether financially, emotionally, physically, or all the above.
Also, just be yourself. Don’t follow the trends the other kids are doing if you don’t want to. Especially on social media. Don’t post anything dumb that’ll get you in trouble later on in life. Please just be yourself bc at the end of the day, you only have yourself.
All of the above for sure!
As a first semester college student, I'm totally agree. At beginning you start gives small task and more task (rather writing task or social task) daily. then you start feel like 'man this Tiring but I can manage' then after the mid test, the shitstorm of assignment start hitting hard like being hit by a magnet train. And you have to start working extra hard your practical assignment and your daily task and you don't have a choice. that you desperately do it anyway and count days to do final test. So that you can finally relax at least for a couple week before next semester.
P.S sorry for bad typing. English isn't my mother language.
@CrashChannel same! I was bullied for being disabled, something I couldn’t and still can’t, control. 🤦🏻♀️

But the second is, thanks mate.
Teens don’t ask for help because of teachers u would be suprised how much teachers humiliate kids for asking questions they think are dumb I feel bad for those that did that’s why I barely ever ask questions
That's why you ask teachers that aren't aholes and do it after class on a one a one on one basis and build it from there.
Yes and I had some disgusting teachers who are just sick....
Most teachers at my school do that and that's why I don't ask for help in them....
I have personally never experienced this. Can you give me a few examples?
@@zadock6370 “hey teacher I’m sorry but I didn’t catch everything that you just said. Can you please repeat blah blah blah.” Teacher: “No! It’s not my fault you weren’t paying attention. You should’ve been listening.”
They should have told us we didn’t really “have all the time in the world to decide” what we wanted to be when we grew up. I don’t know why they’re always telling teenagers that. A couple years later you ARE a grownup, and a lot of doors are closed.
They say that not to tell you to reach for nothing, they want you to reach for everything. There are tons of end goals that require the same benchmarks, that statement is meant to broaden your horizons by pushing towards multiple dreams, not to give you a license to coast with no goals in mind.
@@MrTommygunz0482 Well said. That's what I always took from it. College prerequisites reinforce that too.
Like what doors?
False, you still get a lot of opportunities to find your dream job but of course many jobs required prerequisite including studying and also having some experience. And that is where mentorship and internship comes in. Since you have to start from somewhere and to build your experience. And then you can climb your way up the ladder but joining a club, organization, volunteer, or whatever can boost your chances to be higher and speaking a different language or even getting some skills will do you good for your resume. And it is very important to be optimistic. I see some people are being really pessimistic and being negative. However, it is important to keep your spirits up and that's the only way how you progress in life.

That suicide will be an average, common thought in so many of our lives that Noone says anything about it until it's too late.

Even if you don't talk with them much? Give them a shout and make sure there ok. You'll be glad you did.
LOL what friends from high school? 😂😂
Man, I wish I had a adult who had a solid logical mindset in my life while I was a teenager. Lol
Facts i was left to sink or swim.
I actually had quite a few logical, intelligent people in my life as a kid and teenager. I just didn't listen to them like I should have Lol
The problem is that so many teenagers are convinced of two things, their immortality, and that adults in general don't understand what a teens life is like, therefore any advice given doesn't apply.

Me, grew up in an emotionally abusive family with emotionally abusive teachers who mocked me for my mental health struggles. School was beyond hellish and I had nobody. I fell in love with the sport of boxing and am on a path to do that as a career and only that. When life gives you the cold shoulder and kindness akin to an icy stare, you learn to breathe fire.
As an adult in my early twenties, I hardly dated and I only dated twice in my entire life. But I was never lucky with dating as a teen which doesn't mean I'm not likeable. And I had several rejections with some saying I'm not their type! But I would say keep going because you never know who could be your future spouse! And we all have different lives and is a good reminder not to be judged and if someone judges you too much just ditch that person and take care of your overall well being! Be around people who uplifts your spirit with positive encouragement not only in dating but with everything. And behavior is everything when it comes to dating.
There is more to life than romantic love.

A marine biology elective class? What kind of High School did you go to?
I took marine biology in seventh grade. As a core class.
Marine Biology and Marine Mechanics were part of the magnet program at my school. Really cool that they basically taught real vocations for those interested. We need to eliminate the current system and implement more skill based classes that qualify the youth for more things than McDonalds fresh out of school
Again WHO HAS THAT CLASS.
They can cut sports and arts but keep marine biology. Foh.
I'd love to see the stats of the students at a school like that. Bet I can tell you what type of ppl go to a school like that.
Probably some yt only private school
I went to school in the hood. I ain't never hear about marine biology. Somebody went to yt school
Man, almost 10 years to this day I had gotten my heart broken by my first girlfriend, Im so glad it happened and I'm so glad I was totally oblivious to the possibility of losing somebody. It takes good things and bad to fully live life. Can't live in a fairy tale forever.
In a weird twist of fate, I happened to end up with my high-school crush 24 years after graduation and she has turned out to be the best that has ever happened to me.
hahahaha
Thats rare, good for you.
this is why I regret doing online school
There are 3 different "high school sweetheart" couple in my family who are still together decades later. They are all genuinely happy together and very faithful to each other. I think it's because they're more like friends in so many regards, but the romantic love is still part of the equation. This may not be ultra common, but I've seen it happen. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone :)
Happy Thanksgiving
This video made me start thinking about communicating more with my 9 year old. I paused this video for an hour and spoke to him about what he wants in the future.
I've had so many of my former students look me up over the years. I get invited to weddings, birthdays, baby showers, etc... We had a major tragedy at our high school and I was one of a handful of teachers who showed up and cried with the kids at a memorial service and hugged them. I was shocked at how few of my colleges could be bothered to take two hours out of their life to show they cared. But because I was willing to show my students my grief and pain over the loss, they felt like they could speak to me as a person and not view me as simply an authority figure. I guess I'm writing this to say that no matter how rough or tough a teen might seem, they're still just kids. A little vulnerability in the correct setting goes a long way to getting them to open up and trust that you care.
Whoever made this clearly never had foreign parents. “Tryout new things” “You don’t have any responsibilities”
As an adult, I found that It’s the complete opposite
So you're telling me teenagers need to be locked in their houses all their teenage years doing nothing but repeating the same thing over and over again like a machine?
@@qstsorin6098 Not at all what I was saying, you need to work in your reading comprehension skills.
All I’m saying is that all these “advice” he’s giving us is useless as foreign parents do not give their kids much freedom whatsoever, therefore these options are unrealistic

@@neworld2114 he was exaggerating the other persons opinion to serve his argument. He obviously understood but decided to put words in the other guys mouth. Maybe work on your comprehension of social interaction.

I've become more crunchy as the days go by

Some solid advice for those teens who are stuck, trying to figure out how to help keep your family. YOU can't please everyone, and YOU can't keep a failing marriage together. Your happiness matters too, and it should matter to you how you feel.
Speaking as someone who's first "proper" relationship was with someone 4 years older that me. He was definitely using me for something else.
However, I am now in a relationship with someone who is 13yrs older than me, (we started properly dating when I was 18), he has always respected my boundaries, and although we were interested in each other when I was at school, he resected my choice to focus on school and we just spent the time getting to know each other.
Overall I do not recommend that teenagers date someone who is older than them (by a couple of years) until they are at least 18. If you do find someone you like and they're older than you, they will wait. If they are interested in you as a person and are happy just talking and being friends, that's a good sign! You may end up dating them, or you could realize that you don't like them romantically.
HOWEVER, if they aren't happy to wait and keep pushing, walk away!! That is a massive massive RED FLAG 🚩🚩
I wish I had known this earlier, so if any teenager is still reading this, remember it please.

when infographic says “spoiler alerts” but you’ve already found out the hard way
I hid my passion for animals as a teenager due to ridicule, instead giving into peer pressure and “liking” what everyone else did. Now, at 29, I am pursuing my childhood dreams in school and value what makes me different.
Please, embrace your passions and follow your dreams, despite what the world may say, or think.
Teenage love is not love, okay tell it to my aunt and uncle who are married when they were 15 and 16 and stayed married till they were in their mid-80s and one of them passed. I know many people engaged in high school and married right out of high school and now are happy, successful and very financially well-off. The key to that is of course got married and stayed married.
bro that was decades ago times have changed
I was pretty angry when he said that tenage love doesn't last and it's simply not true love! that's simply not true! I've Heard wonderful stories from happy couples that have stayed together for half of their lives
@@HUYI1 what they mean is we don’t have the experience yet yk they worded it wrong because it’s true you can be in love early on
@@esosaoxs7856 I don't know for sure but I'm going to say you're on the younger side of life, cuz once you can say remember 30 40 years ago you realize that things really haven't changed. Yes times change but humanity at it's core doesn't. If you find a perfect person to spend decades of your life with it's better to start earlier and be together longer than to be lonely and searching for years.
but their love probably changed over time, from "teenage love" to "adult love"
I am 18 and I gotta say all this is true. I got my heart broken when I was 17 and I have talked with some girls/ managed to get broken other times as well but it came to a point in which I did not care any longer if It happened again. Also, it is okay to fail. We are not designed to excel in everything and sometimes there are subjects we dont feel good at.
I am lucky I have a brother who cares for me even why he is 6 years older. I would also have another brother older than me but suddenly he died young before I was born and I just recently discovered that. I still feel bad but I guess that is the way of life.
I got another tip. Just be you. Don’t try to be like that cool kid and to fit in other groups. You do not have to change yourself in order for others to accept you. You are great as you are!
i love my mom because she'll always ask our side of the story and call us back if she might have misunderstood something. she also acknowledges our feelings which lets us know that she has a valuable reason of why she's making us do the things we do.
I must admit hearing that last point struck me hard. Not for realizing my problems aren’t a big of a deal (They really are) but it’s because of the fact it’s something I hear a lot from my abusive parents who keep saying other people have it worse so my problems don’t matter. I won’t go into too much details into what happens for privacy reasons but I’m unsure if that last point should’ve been said.
my problems are a HUGE DEAL
Teen me: watching infographic
22 year old me: watching infographic
Somethings never change
I dropped out of school and went into trades and I still don't regret it. my childhood ended at 13 I was already working by 16 I had my own business. School is great but I think they should have more real life training most college kids are as dumb as can be. Teach teens how to work and about pay.
If I had one bit of advice for teenagers it would be: Don't assume that people older than you are smarter or wiser. Question what you are told and look for evidence that it's right or it's wrong. "Beliefs" that try to dictate your behavior may not have your welfare in mind.
So far I've found the transition from high school to university really good for me. I really struggled with my mental health throughout high school but now I'm feeling much better. To anyone stressed in high school bc of older people saying that life just gets harder, just remind yourself that it's different for everyone. People who say that adulthood is worse, often peaked in high school and strived in those enclosed environments. When I was living with my aunt she always told me how lucky my cousin and I were and encouraged us to enjoy our teenage years while they lasted bc it only gets worse. During that time of my life I felt like I had no freedom, going to school and always having to be at the same spot each day. What I love about uni, is the freedom it gives you. I know it's stressful at times, but ultimately there's more freedom. In uni I'm able to see my girlfriend on weekends, work on school stuff wherever I want (for the most part), and see my friends as well. Yes there are more responsibilities and I know it's diff for everyone, but personally I find the world straight after high school is better, even though I know it will get financially more difficult down the road.
I hate it when people say to enjoy our teenage years, I have to do online school and only have 2 friends so there's not much for me to enjoy
Yeah, that last one was the biggest for me. Enjoy that time in your life! Being a teen was hard and stressful, but looking back I see that it was NOTHING compared to what you will have to face as ana adult. As an adult, there are times where you will have VERY few options. But as a teen, the world is completely open to you! Revel in that!
Having a bond with the adults (teachers) is way more precious then having a friendship with some random teenager. As the adults will always remember you and keep in touch with you. While the teenagers dump you the second you are from school.
I'll put it this way, I dropped out of high school, it just wasn't for me. I had a lot of trouble concentrating (which turned out to be misdiagnosed ADHD) and teachers did nothing except treat me as a nuisance.
I dropped out of school at 15 and started working. As I earned money I paid to study courses that interested me, courses that would open doors for jobs I may like to do.
I'm now 28, earning 6 figures through my main job and a side business. Which is much more than any teacher who told me I never would, will ever earn.
My only advice to teenagers would be, just live your own life. Don't spend too much time caring about what your friends are doing or where they're at, their lives aren't yours and they aren't going to pay your bills.
Now when it comes to paying bills, try to find a way to make money that is enjoyable to you. If you don't enjoy it, it becomes a gruelling, repetitive, mind numbingly boring day to day task which eventually can manifest into things like depression (I've been there a few times). If you don't enjoy what you do on a daily basis, you won't enjoy your life to the extent it deserves to be enjoyed.
The parts where you stated about:
- "You probably will only keep in contact with a handful of your [high school] friends anyway.",
- "Your teachers can agree to be your job references." and "You might find yourself grabbing a drink and commiserating over the gool old days".
Are things I find true for myself.
Heck, I only go out with two of my friends nowadays. They are the people who has something great going on with their life. One is my college classmate, and one is my college professor.
Being with great people can impact you positively or negatively depends on your current perspective. Personally, I take all the things they said positively and try to analyze them and implement some of them to my life.
The whole thing about school was crazy. School did not prepare me for anything. Just how to read and basic math 🤣

Half our lives we are at school half working.
@@Vorticough you don't do labor in school, genius. Why would someone pay you to get a free education?
Well, in this video, I feel that you’re talking to one particular group of people. I believe you’re referring to a group of teens that don’t have much work ethic in life. Some of us teens are highly creative and innovative. Some of us teens will change the world by the time we even turn 18, and we won’t need a miserable 9-5 job. The world we live in today has lots of opportunities and anyone with hope of happiness isn’t looking for just any job to get by. They’re looking for something they love to do so their life isn’t messed up. Just something to touch up on. I don’t know if you’re referring to teens who never work or something, but those are just the vibes I got.
I know people that are very creative and innovative and smart that have failed at life. Just because you may be skilled in one area of life doesn’t mean you will automatically succeed and put life on auto-pilot. In fact, life is better when you have to work for it because you only live once. And you need to master all aspects of yourself and skills of life in order to truly succeed.
I'm 19 and I can't relate to any of them. I'm an introvert who wants to be alone. I have anxiety, so it was HARD, but my mom helped me and I passed high school. I also got my first job in high school. Then, I got a 2nd job a few months ago.
Starting from 5th-grade till High School graduation in an all-boys school, it's always the *wake-up, go to school, go home, not take schoolwork seriously, struggle to find friends with similar interests, and not get to learn about real-life careers* routine.
I wish I had the molded mindset of working on a real job so I can get used to it because I feel useless after graduating from computer college.
As someone who is a teenager. Thank you for letting me know about this stuff
I would say don’t go to university or college after high school if you don’t know what you want to do yet. Don’t go just because all your friends are going/doing post secondary ed. Instead travel & work for a year or two, or a few years longer, to find something that you’re really interested in, and want to do as a a career. As well, it’s ok if you have more than one career in your life. If you want to be a dentist, you don’t have to be a dentist your whole life if something else crops up that you’re passionate about & dentistry now drags you down.
I wish somebody told me that it's okay to be weird or different when I was a teenager.
I've had multiple people tell me I'm weird for things I've done and some even tried to bully me. But all I could think of was me being weird for me amazing funny friends, kept my eyes open, and taught me to just try new things weird or not. I was around friends that were open minded and nothing was off the table and it gave me an exciting mind set. Now those kids that hated me for being weird work horrible jobs. I have a fun great paying job and I go on so many adventures with my "weird" friends. If I was "normal" I would not of had such an exciting life by the age of 23. We need to teach children it's okay to be weird and different. If you wanna go to a anime convention and dress up do it! Even as an adult people question me because my interest are weird but I'm out having fun while they are at home watching reruns on TV. It's never too late to bring out the weird child we all have in us. Be free and enjoy life!
Thank you for saying that@@fordlover3293 I gave up trying to be normal a long time ago. When I meet people for the first time I say I'm so and so and I'm a very weird person. If there is anybody weirder than me I would love to meet them.

The first thing is very true, I spent 4 years in a high school marching band that was mediocre to bad because so many people didn't take it seriously and we're just there to hang out with their friends. I then did marching band in college and it was so different.
I’m 23. I’m glad I never got into any serious relationship as a teen. And frankly I don’t plan on it anytime soon, if ever. I’m quite happy doing my own thing

I feel sad for you, that your moral and world view is shaped by a random person who doesn't even know you.
And you believe mostly everything this RUclips channel says.
Pro tip for elementary(1-8) Do everything you want, beat up kids, scam Pokemon cards, swear at teachers. As long as you don't get expelled or in major trouble do whatever you want. I didn't get back at my scammers, bullies or bad teachers. When I finally had the conscience to do so I was in online school. Lots of regrets.
Facts tho. As long as it's not TOO bad you'll have literally no real consequence
I wasted my childhood and my highschool and college on grades. Never made friends, never cared about being social, never got into a relationship, and now even though I am making money, I am just full of depressed thoughts and I live alone in my hose. And Im just 25. I workout a lot and watch youtube in my free time. This is my life.
I'm 17 and was never heartbroken.
One thing I absolutely wish I did more was prioritize my mental health, and not focus on being perfect in school. Yeah, i got good grades, but now im in a community college with only 2 friends cause I never went out.
Technical college makes staying in touch with friends after finishing school easier

Him mocking the wording of "love" made me chuckle xD
Now that I am 2 years out of highschool and hearing this is actually the truth
I disagree.
I made this mistake in high school and you all need to know not to do it: Don’t focus all or even mostly on work in high school. Instead, aim for middle grades like B’s and learn to communicate socially. Make a large friend group. Exercise and make yourself feel good. You can even date. Trust me, if you only focus on academics, once you get to college age you’ll become a depressed and lonely wreck like me. Don’t focus only on academics. Remember, how can a good job improve your life if you’re going to be alone and isolated the entire time?
Idk why but the thumbnail reminds me of Deku crying 💀

I wasn't the best student in high school and I graduated with a GPA of 1.5, but because of my peer advisor and keeping in touch with the Dean at the college I wanted to go to I was given a full scholarship to that school. That saying is true sometimes it's not what you know but WHO you know. Sometimes I still kind of feel bad that someone may have busted their butts in school and didn't get in because of me.
SWEAR! ✋🏻 What infographics just said from 3:37 to 3:48, I attest to as a former high school teacher of ELEVEN YEARS.

No joke
I don’t think I’m ready to be an adult I wanna stay a teen forever
We are still young on the inside but just got more bills to pay
Actually no one is really ready to become an adult. We just learn to get by with it. You will just wake up one day, realising you are already expected to behave as an adult.
You can do many more exciting and interesting things as an adult. Ever since I moved out I had to fight to survive but I've also had an amazing adventurous life by 23. Everyone talking bad about it are the ones that got talked into office jobs and were expected to raise a huge family. Live your life to your liking and then you'll truly start to live.
My story: Its sad that my family doesn't help me to become encouraged to do things thats actually good and motivative, because they EXPECT me to become happy with it, even thou I became disappointed to myself because of all the failures I make
Because of that, I became a clueless teenager who has no interest and struggle to make friends (because no interest, and they don't like that)
Don’t have kids just for the sake of having kids
Doing things outside of school matters more than school. Jobs care more about the community service you did than if you graduated. You lose opportunities not having graduated highschool, but you don't lose much by not going to college. See the world and have fun, live creatively. Don't think you have to live like everyone else in society. There's plenty of other healthy ways to make money that isn't a 9 to 5. But you have to start now!
These videos just make my day. Great job guys👍👍
The absolute truth is, nothing you do when you're under 18 in the USA will actually follow you for your entire life, unless it makes national headlines or something. I almost failed out of high school. I graduated with a 2.3 GPA. I wound up taking a college aptitude test a few years later and starting out in community college. I graduated from a state university a few years later, age 28, and even got accepted into Harvard for grad school, but couldn't go (they are in Boston, and I had kids at that point, I only applied to see if I could've gotten into my dream school). Now I have my MS in Economics and Finance, and working towards a PhD. I make 6 figures, which is great, because student loans lol. If you made ALL the mistakes as a teenager, you can still turn your life around!!! I had a super rough childhood and it just took me an extra few years to sort through all the trauma and be ready to move forward.
InfoG: Don't let your schoolwork consume your every day life
Me: sure tell that to my teachers and parents let's see how hard they slap you
Ahh the good old days where my teachers swamped me with work and expectations
In 6th grade I had a teacher who relentlessly teased me that I couldn't learn quick. I had minor brain damage and things were and still are hard to learn. I remember once in class I was trying to pay attention and he embarrassed me by saying "why are you staring at me like I have 3 heads??!!" He'd hit on the girls. His wife even came in yelling he cheated. In 7th grade I found a teacher how to reach me and became a honor roll student and got student of the month so I remember I stared him (6th grade teacher) down the whole time I was on stage as they were talking about my new accomplishments. That's how I learned to adapt and learn while having minor brain damage. Mr. Drouin was a huge nightmare
i dated a lady of 29 when i was 18 and she rocked my world
Honestly as a teen I felt nothing twards my fellow students. Kept my head down focused on my classes and going from class to class I didn’t care to socialize or chat or hang out with others
same but now I regret it
My biggest question is that does high school grades and such affect you when your older?
Get good grades for the knowledge, you will need that. As far as grades, mine were terrible and I didn't finish high school, and I clear 200k a year. Go after your interest professionally, but learn business. Money is freedom, and you will be limited getting paid hourly or on a salary. Own your own business and get paid for your value, not time. Grades only matter if you work for other people,
My college transcripts only include a few classes from high school. And it was only the advanced classes for dual credit or AP. All else does not matter unless you pass or are seeking admission to a competitive college.
It depends. if you want to hear more, reply to this and I will explain.
No, socializing and making friends and connections is WAY more important than grades
Hard to hear defiantly true because I heard that teachers have taught us to fear failure instead of learning from failure at times.😅😓👍🏻
"They spend alot of time in school, instead of home"
Im still in online class lol
You aren’t entitled to a friends group. You have to earn it, also they’re not gonna be perfect and so don’t always expect them to always be there for you. And no you will not be going on Scooby Doo adventures together
Saying your love as a teen is not love is insulting and condescending! I’m 37 and have known 3 loves, at 16, 25, and 32. To say that my love was anything less at 16 than it was at 32 is just simply wrong. Each of those loves were very different in a few ways, but it was still very much so real love. I suspect that those that say teens can’t feel love were once teens that didn’t end up feeling love themselves and think that was universal. It’s not. The love felt as you age tends to deepen with maturity, and that may be why some feel that young love isn’t “real” love.
Allow me a way to describe this idea visually. Think of love being water in a pool, and the point when someone is truly in love is when their head is just above the water. When you’re younger, and your head is barely above the water, the water is still pretty shallow. The level of the water from your own perspective is still very much almost going to drown you, but there just isn’t as much volume to it. As an adult, you can stand in much deeper water while keeping your head up, but again, from your perspective, the water level is the same on you as it was in your youth. With each drop of water in both of those scenarios comes another tiny piece of the things that make up love; feelings, life experiences, dating history, maturity, understanding your needs, and so on. The more water in the pool, the more nuance, but you are still experiencing the same feeling of the water lapping at your chin.
I know what you mean.
The people in my life would give me anxiety especially my brother.
When my mom had trouble breathing . He said do you want mom to die? Which hurt more than it helped and may have contributed to my anxiety.

I have dedicated myself to schoolwork. I currently have the bare minimum amount of friends/acquaintances in High School at the cost of high grades. I'm also a free thinker who doesn't get forced to do things by social pressure.
Teenage love ain't no different from Adult love AND I'M 45 SAYING THIS!
I’m a teen living in the Philippines, a 3rd world country, and I only have 1 thing to say, you don’t really have a choice, cuz if you’re not the best in your entire school and graduated from at least one of the top 10 schools in the country, you’re not getting an actual good job abroad, only labor of some kind. Trying to find work here in the homeland? Don’t make me laugh, the wages are so pitifully low that even nurses have trouble providing for only themselves, I’ve got a friend who’s parents are both neurosurgeons here and their way of living? Basically what’s considered common/average in the US. So for those of you 3rd world teens here, prioritize these when looking for a job:
1.) Can your grades and educational background get you into the job?
2.) how much does it pay?
3.) Do you enjoy it?
These are the only 3 criteria, and you’ll have no choice but for passion to be on the bottom. Well, unless our government finally decides to do their job properly after literal decades.
"Have fun before you have to grow up too much"
Me, a teenager, who takes care of my little brothers, disabled uncle, and does a big chunk of things like around the house, while also having to be the peacekeeper: *well*
Adult love is people using each other….at least when your a teen and in love it’s just purely for each other

The harsh reality is that as a teenager, you're going to have a broken heart at some point.
Me, who never felt love:
Signature look of superiority
Me who didn't see a single girl cuz all schools are boys only or girls only: signature look of superiority pro max

same 😂😂
I haven't gone through heartbreak yet and I'm 30. I lived a dull homeschooled life and kept to myself. The extra time I waited on my 3 year near hopeless job search was spent in places like church and the workplace was a sausage fest. I couldn't even afford home internet or smart phone plans to attempt dating websites. And if my long distance girlfriend breaks up, that would actually liberate me from sending her money or worrying about taking care of her Ex's child. Brutally honest, but sometimes that's just life.
It's easy to say 'try in school' when you aren't the one that suffered from undiagnosed ADHD, everyone ostracized you for being gay, and you suffered from depression and hated the toxic environment you were in.
My sympathies. I'm glad you survived.
@@ron234halt Thank you.
aww thats cute- do what class you want to take- like Marine Biology... Me- Went to one of the poorest/underfunded schools in America- Teenage me...We have choices?..Other teens have a choice?! Whaaaa?! you mean they just don't pack you into whatever class has room? ... My guidance counselor didn't even help me with any college admissions, classes, issues with classmates nothing. Pretty much said half of us would be dead by the 3rd year after we graduated... guess she said why even bother
I remember doing really good in my biology class and when our teacher told us about the science classes we could take next year earth and space science being the easiest and biology being one of the harder one's and i chose earth and space because im really interested in space so instead of me getting the class i wanted he put me in chemistry🙃
At least you'll be laughing all through the lesson lol!
Me being 27 and feeling these some of these hitting me 😂🤌🏻
Me who learned this before I was a teen: I am 5 parallel universes ahead of you
Parents: doesn't tell you stuff
Internet: *Bonjour*
#1 it doesn’t get better
Exactly
When I tell u after graduating 2020 n getting married at 18 to a 31 year man
I want everyone to know THEY DIDNT LIE ABOUT ANYTHING. I literally cried through the entire video😪. I wish I coulda change my ways
Don’t what age you have to be a certified teenager
But I’m turning 13 soon and this video is gonna help
14 to 18;)
I honestly think that life after school is gonna be really depressing like boring jobs and just being out for long days. That’s why I’m thinking of what I want so I can make a change in this world and make special things so I feel like I am doing something good and right. That’s what I want to achieve and I feel like if I can it won’t be depressing like I expect if I dont do what I want. So to everybody whose scared of the future, just do what you like and go for something you really want.
I wish I could ask a girl out. Sometimes when I’m in bed I imagine what would happen if I asked a girl out.
Then do it. Worst thing that can happen is a no. By not asking the response remains a no. Unless you are autistic like me then I guess it should not be a problem.
