What are some of the most important lessons you learned/wished you knew as a teenager

    Im creating a list of articles that Im going to have written for my new site. I'm thinking along the lines of articles like this:

    -Knowing your rights (i.e. what to do when a cop shows up at your door and tries to bust your party for underage drinking)
    -How to write a resume/get a summer job
    -How to get a car /how to lower your insurance rates as a teen (insert affiliate offer here! )
    -Objective information about rushing a fraternity/sorority and greek life in general
    -An objective look at why you should graduate high school/go to college (not in a preaching down to them manner, just more like here are the benefits of staying in school i.e. college grads make $XXX,XXX more in their lifetime on average.
    -The typical am I ready for sex, how to wear a rubber, am I pregnant and all of that crap


    What else can you think of? Like was there ever a situation that you went through as a teenager where you wish you knew more about it at the time?
    Thanks for the help

    I wish I hadn't taken high school so seriously and done more "fun" things like art and stuff. When I was in high school, four years seemed so long and that I was NEVER going to get out of high school. I wish I could go back an undo so much. We were spoon-fed and never took advantage of our educational resources.

    I wished I took the time to learn to program C++ and PHP seriously. I took Java seriously, but didn't get far. It was just to hard for me, and when I asked for help online, people told me to learn PHP instead. I took 3 classes learning Java. None of them were easy and all the students had serious problems with it. My last Java class even the teacher had big trouble with it, but it wasn't her fault because the school forced her to teach Java that year and she had no prior experience to it. I guess I didn't take C++ and PHP seriously because I got so fustrated with Java. But now I'm slowly learning C++ and PHP.

    As a teenager you don't realise how fragile and short life is.

    You don't have rights as a Minor in the U.S. you should put that in the artcile too ;) The right belongs to your parent or guardian until you become of age!

    It's more of an experience and less of a lesson. I wanted to be a regular kid :p

    I came to Canada small, and since mindsets are different in Russia and in Canada, my parents didnt really understand what it was meant to be a normal kid. They didn't understand that it wasnt dangerous of me to be outside past dark, since in Russia, you're as good as dead, unless you've got 10-15 friends with you.

    Tourists don't know anything. I've lived there half my life, I think I know a tad better. If you went to some tourist city, it's obviously not going to be crime infested.
