  • Do not waste your time. These are the best years most of you will get. If they aren’t good right now, you probably have the potential to turn it around before you lose them. Stop doing things in your free time that you don’t truly cherish- doomscrolling, rotting, sleeping excessively, gaming too much etc
  • Fill your time with as many memorable experiences as possible. We encode memories based on novelty, if your days are all the same you’ll feel like your teen years are slipping away and you’ll remember very little. Take risks, go outside more, do stuff whilst you can still get away with it and real consequences don’t exist.
  • Chose your friends wisely and build lifelong bonds with them. The most important quality to look out for in a friend is how they treat you. Do they truly value you, or are you the groups punching bag? Are they loyal, would they have your back if it meant sacrificing popularity or punishment? When you find the right friends, stay in contact with them no matter what, keep them around and check up on them too.
  • Take care of yourself. Exercise regularly, eat healthy, minimise stress, get enough sleep, stay away from drugs and preserve your mental health. Get treatment if needed, there is no shame in it. Your future self will thank you.
  • Don’t keep waiting for the right moment or overthink things. If you keep waiting, it will just pass you by. The right moment is now, you’ll learn in life that things won’t fall into your lap, you have to chase them, seize them, and that the cost of this is often embarassment of rejection, learn to be comfortable with them.
  • Invest in your future. Keep your grades up, work on developing skills that will serve you your whole life. Learn how to make and manage money, to talk to people, to sell things and ideas, to adapt and be resourceful.
  • Cherish the impermanent. You’ll probably live to see your parents die, your pets too. Older relatives, maybe even siblings, friends. And regardless, people will grow apart as you get older and distance increases. So show people that you appreciate them whilst they’re still a part of your life, you could lose them sooner than you think. Places too, one day you’ll long for a home that no longer exists.
  • Stop worrying so much. This may seem contradictory to the rest of this list but it won’t help you at all. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks, about the future, about your problems. Worrying takes you out of the present and makes you experience imaginary suffering from a future that hasn’t even happened yet. Stay grounded, live in the present and just enjoy it, one day you’ll actually have things worth worrying about, at least leave yourself with the memory of a better time..

You’ve posted 800 times in 1 and a half years you aren’t a rotter, hardly a tourist
This is a compliment btw
 
Easier said than done sadly
 
Nice one bro. I wasted my teenage years unfortunately

None of my friends invite me anywhere and when i ask they say no, i've already wasted 14 years of not going outside, why should i star now at 15? its pointless. the only thing i do on the list is invest in my future and take care of myself occasionally
