Well I have been going through some hard times in HS lately, and I want to here some good advice from the wise members of D&ST.
What have you learned or realized that you wish you could have known earlier?

Now that I know what a condom is, I'm glad my dad didn't wear one.

If you ever want to save money, Don't have kids, if you want to have kids, be prepared to never have money.

And kids are worth more than anything else in life, when you are ready.

You have no clue about how short life is. No clue.

Life, even when it's shitty is better than the alternative.

Dont say you're going to cut off the teachers tongue and stick it in his ass giving him a columbian necktie.

Dont tell the security guards you're going to put .45 rounds into their heads and dump their bodies in the hudson river.

Dont laugh in the face of the principal, While he suspends you, Then go outside the school and start shit with the violent kids.

Although it's stupid-boring, do well in high school. Basically, it determines how much you make when you're 45.

You do not even know what studying means until you're in college.

This sounds emo, but seriously; don't bother with girls that jerk you around. In the end, you're gonna do what you should have done 2 years earlier but with a whole lot more baggage.

Oh, and exactly what rdx said:
If you don't know something, for the love of god ask. Don't fake it. You've got a higher chance of getting it wrong than right, and a 100% chance of looking stupid.

The term 'nice guy' and 'dateless loser I wouldn't fuck if he was the last guy on earth' are synonymous.

Don't mistake kindness for weakness. The "nice" guys that rarely get laid are usually weenies. Chicks do not dig weenies. If you're confident and resolute, you can also be nice and score.

Don't think that adults don't understand or remember what you're going through. Some of them (not all, even idiots grow up) know what they're talking about. We all went through it and most of us learned something from it.

Guess I should have put the word 'generally' before synonymous.
But generally when any girl describes someone as a nice guy, they will fit my description.
Not because you have to be a weenie as you say to be a nice guy, but because nice guys are so very seldom confident and resolute, which is why they compensate for being nice.

Pathetic nice guys are like beggars, except instead of money they're begging for sex, and women see mostly think of them the same way as people think of beggars.

It's not difficult. Don't make it into your life's work during your teens and 20's.
There's more important work to be done.

Okay, I'm done. Enough random advice from me.

oh damn how I wish people in my class would understand those few gold lines.

Echoing everything rdx-fx has posted thus far. He is spot on.

Also, one of my favorite sayings:

Doing the popular thing is not always right...doing the right thing is not always popular.

Your actions (or inactions) have consequences, both good and bad. Fucking up in your teenage years just gives you even more time to regret what you did/didn't do for the rest of your life.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

QFT. For the motherfucking, fuck truth. I don't know how many times I've ignored that voice when it comes to girls/other stuff. And then when it all comes to the point when you feel like shit, it's in there laughing at you.

That's just me though, no doubt I will continue to not listen to it and it'll probably be my demise

Maybe you can do better.

Everything RDX-FX said. Is this the second time I agree with FEOS?

Money won't make you happy, but it certainly makes life more comfortable when you're unhappy.
Value your friends
If someone lets you down, even once, even on a trivial thing, they're not your friend.

Have more fun in High School and college. You'll find the adult world much more challenging to meet available and interesting women in.

Also, make sure you hook up with an internship before leaving college -- it will make finding work much easier than it otherwise will be...

QFE

It is never ever ever too early to start saving for retirement. At last I checked, in order to live comfortably after retiring at the average age of 65, you need at least 1 million dollars saved. No joke.

So get a 401k or a Roth IRA going ASAP. Even if you drop as little as $50 in a month, it'll pile up and you'll love yourself later.
