Answer 4

Choose good friends, and avoid people who steal, lie, do drugs, fistfight or participate in any kind of crime or vandalism.

Don't get tattoos or visible piercings, because it can adversely affect your employment opportunities.

Take precautions when having s*x to avoid an unexpected pregnancy.

It's time to make plans for how you are going to earn money.  Start thinking about getting some job experience, saving money, getting a car, and thinking about what kind of career (not just a job, a career) that you will have as an adult.  You should seriously consider whether your chosen career pays a living wage, and what the realistic chances are of you attaining that career.    If it's a long shot (famous rock star), then keep your dream, but have a backup plan.

Don't use credit cards.  If for any reason you do use credit cards, set a very low limit on what you charge to it, and PAY IT OFF EVERY MONTH.

Be aware of your surroundings, and stay out of dangerous areas, and away from dangerous people.    Have a buddy system.  Don't wander around by yourself.  Always let someone know where you are, and where you are going for two reasons.   If you disappear, they need to know where to look for you, and if a family emergency occurs, they need to nkow where to find you and let you know about it.

Don't converse with strangers on the internet, and NEVER make arrangements to meet someone from the internet, or reveal personal information, name, address, phone number etc.

It is impossible to overstate the sheer misery and wasted life that drug or alcohol addiction can cause to the addict and their family and friends.   Don't smoke, drink or do drugs.   No one ever plans to be an addict.   It happens when you least expect it.    Also, drugs are expensive, and there are much better things you can do with your money.

The person you want to marry should be chosen based on whether they can hold down a job, pay their bills, and treat you with respect.    It's hard to assess a sixteen year old on those criteria, because they haven't had to hold down a job yet, or pay bills.  Sixteen year olds may choose a boyfriend or girlfriend based on how they look, or whether they are "cool" or what kind of car they drive on.  Therefore, date and enjoy yourself, but don't try to choose your lifemate at this time in your life.

Don't be in too much of a hurry to grow up.  There are advantages to being young.   You'll have a forty hour workweek and bills to pay soon enough.

Answer 5

i would warn them about std's and also talk to them about making love and how it feels. I would warn them about drugs and smoking, by telling them that it takes control over you  and just because some teens do it doesnt mean every teen does. and i would say if they are your friends they will let you be you, and yeah, thats pretty much it, drugs, s*x, and smoking. talk to them about good things to. dont just tell them about how bad everything can be or is. otherwise they will never take anything in, hope i helped. luck

Answer 9

I wish someone had told me that there are bad people in the world. Not to trust everyone - and if something does not feel quite right or is uncomfortable to trust your instincts and get away. There are people who will use and abuse you for their own selfish reasons. Also - no man should ever hit a woman, don't ever let anyone hurt you. And we (parents) will always be there for you no matter what - call/show up at any time and we will protect you, and will not judge you. My life would have gone a lot different if I had known those things 15 years ago!!
