Focus on drinking more water and cut out energy drinks, soda (including diet or zero sugar), and daily frappes. Stick to water, or opt for unsweetened tea, herbal tea, or black coffee with a bit of cream but no sugar.
Never let your friends think of who you are and what you should do, be your own man, I learned that the hard way as a teenager but I'm glad things finally looked up once I realized my actions later as an adult
I ve a got of online friends and let me tell you as someone who was an onlycvhild growing up, I'm blessed to have them all and know them personally and even in person is the best feeling ever
cherish your friends, no matter how your life is, cherish the bonds with them, you ll remember them to your grave
Give them time to talk to you, hear them out, talk about whats happening or going on in their lives
Two things that really stood out for me that I told myself in the mirror during the lowest points of my life
Get in shape, this is the best time to get in the best shape of your life.
Go on a run, go hiking, go swimming, play sports, just anything to keep u proactive always.
And most importantly, stop caring what others think about you, seriously, nobody actually cares about you or really thinks about you other than your family.
Limit your screen time and social media use. It’s addictive and once you develop the habit of constantly having input and stimulation it’s hard to have and live with quiet moments.
You don’t owe anyone a thing, your friends, partners even your parents. The only people who are blood to you are those who would spill it for you(not literally). Don’t let someone manipulate you because they did one or two favors.
Also if you do something for someone expect nothing in return. Your honor is actually still worth a decent amount.
Limit to how many firends you want to have in ur circle, having a lot is nice but trust me, U DONT want people who ll expect u to be available for them 24 7
It feels nice having all the attention but it corrupts your mind
Call your friends on the reg- it’s easy to let distance wither those relationships after everyone moves.
Takes some effort to maintain, but very worth it. Homies are your most valuable investment if you ask a lonely fella living in Japan for his studies (I hate it)
The stories of your grandmothers and grandfathers will stay with you to tell them to the next generation, love them, appreciate them and care for them as long as they re with you
Trust me when grief hits, it hits hard without getting ready for it
Look around you in real life and realize that horrors on the other side of the world don't require your constant vigilance and anxiety. Focus on things you can actually affect change on where you live. You are not responsible for fixing the entire world.
Respect your parents and be forgiving, even when you disagree. Being firm with them helps build mutual respect as they age. When you see them grow older, the strong relationship you’ve nurtured will bring you comfort and peace of mind.

I ve had a bad relationship with my mom growing up but being on the same level helped me gai respect from her nad shaped me to be friends with her on such a deeper level
Honestly saved me from being so anxious around her to now being carefree with her everywhere we go or meet
Stay off the Internet before the brainrot consumes you, like srsly I don't get kids who are being influenced by people like Kai Cenat or IshowSpeed its actually fucking disgusting to see
Probably to stop smoking weed while they still can, having an intake control on that is nice but that applies to only so many who have a positive state of mind and and ACTUALLY care about their own wellbeing, which is rare in abundance in my experience
Listen intently and ask on-topic questions when conversing with someone, and take a genuine interest in what they're discussing. Everyone deserves to feel special.
I realized little too late that I should ve spent more time with my dad, but I'm glad that my 2 kids are growing up spending a lot of their time with me whether its annoying me during my little game time, dinner or even being playful with me when I'm stressed or something
They re a blessing to man like me in his 30s so to all the younglings out there, please get off your phone for even 5 mins if u can and hug ur parents, let them know that you appreciate them for what they ve done for you.
Well I dont hav much advice to give since I'm an adolescent guy rn myself XD, don't know if that counts as being adult like
But ig important words to live by would be to never ever support or believe in negativity. Even if you die. Keep your spirits high, or else you ll drown yourself in anxiety and depression
