Respect and value their advices and limits that they gave you because they only wants you to succeed. You’ll surely appreciate all those annoying opinions when you are adult. Learn how to go along with them because in the future, you can’t choose your co-workers and boss, so learn to respect them now. It’s the same situation.
✔Make friends wisely.

Remember an old adage? “Tell me who your friends and I’ll tell you who you are!” Your friends had a big impact in your life. They can affect your decision-making. So choose wisely. Be with people who had future goals, support and lift your spirits when you needed and vice versa.

Live your life to the fullest. Life is too short making regrets for what you have done and have not. It is normal to make mistakes but learn from it. Enjoy your teenage years while you can. Go out and explore the world.
⏪LOOKING BACK TO MY TEEN YEARS
I wish I had followed all of these before. I wish I obeyed my parents and teachers during those days. People around me did their best but I only felt annoyed. It was a sad story that I was a disappointment to them. It was all a regret. But I manage to change my life for a better and now I’m having my own family with three children. I am trying to be the best father and husband that they will be proud of.
