As a teenager, you'll be starting high school and making new friends. Your hormones are racing the most in
these few years, so it can be quite a roller coaster ride, but by the time you are a junior or senior, they are
settled. Make the best of it by taking the advice below, so that you can remember good things from the past
when you are an adult. You will be an adult soon enough, but you will experience many different changes on
the way!
1. _______________. As simple as this may be, a healthy social life is the key to enjoying your life in spite of
the stress of school. Shop with friends; enjoy buying clothes and accessories. Go to a theme park, water
park, or a few trips. Try to make at least two best friends, and try to make many friends from your gender
and two or three the opposite gender for diversity. Go to arcade places, bowling, or teen clubs and places;
this will be the best interaction with other teenagers or people around your age.
2. _______________. Sew, read, play computer games, draw, or do yoga. Get a and/or Facebook account,
but try not to get addicted to it. Make videos with your friends and post them on YouTube. Check online to
see the hottest new music and the coolest new artists and songs of your genre of choice. You don't have to
be a fan of pop music only; if you like to listen to your grandma's '50s doo wop albums or some nice
relaxing smooth jazz or Bob Marley, go ahead, be a fan of your favorite sports team. Find whatever you
enjoy doing and do it! Start a movie or book collection.
3. _______________. Write music, write stories and poems, create cool drawings, learn how to create web
pages and computer programs, create your own clothes, cook, bake, work on a car, play an instrument, etc.
4. _______________ This doesn't have to be a celebrity, just someone who inspires you, perhaps someone in
your family or community, who is really good at what they do. Learn from them and find motivation to
become a better person.
5. _______________. It’s important to be home on time. Even if you have to get home earlier than your
friends, you need to respect your parents and be home at the exact time your parents said. If your parents
won't let you out at all, talk to them about how you respect their decision and that you will work hard to
show them you can be trusted to go out with your friends they have met.
6. _______________ Always turn in your homework on time and do well on tests. Education is the most
important thing in your life; doing poorly, not trying, or dropping out of school can hurt your future in a
significant way. If you are getting bad grades because you are struggling with something, get help. But if you
are just being lazy, or procrastinating, it can certainly affect your college and career opportunities in the
future.
7. _______________. Volunteering can not only improve your status, it could make you happier. Studies show
that people who volunteer are less likely to develop depression and other emotional issues than people
who don't. Find volunteer opportunities that interest you, for example, if you love animals, volunteer at an
animal shelter. If you like helping people, volunteer at a soup kitchen. If you love helping the environment,
plant trees or pick up litter. When you help others, it will make you feel better about yourself. You're
making a big difference in the world, and to top it all off, having lots of volunteer hours will look good on
your resume!
