Advice to those younger than you

wherever you are, whatever you're doing now be happy in that moment. All we'll ever have is the here and now, yesterday is gone tomorrow isn't guaranteed.
Just do whatever it is you gotta do to make yourself as happy as possible right here and now. Even if it scares the crap out of you.

Learn to pronounce villager names before posting videos on the internet. Just learn them for the sake of learning. It’s on each and every character description if you google it. I’ve never not once heard the name Blanche pronounced correctly to this day.
Do not play too much video games, socialise lots, grab every possible opportunity even if it ends in failure and learn and study more then you need to. (That's kinda the things I regret in my life, all my missed opportunities and things I would do differently)
Try not to let yourself think that because you aren't where you wanna be in life, that that means your life is on hold or you aren't really living yet. An imperfect life is still living, and you should try to celebrate that as much as possible. A perfect life is impossible anyways, there is almost always going to be a struggle of sorts, but being able to appreciate your experiences and be present in them can make it a lot easier, and understanding that a "perfect" life where everything is happy all the time and you are 100% secure is a myth, understanding that can help you know that you don't have to strive for perfection to have fun where you are right now.
I choose to strive towards not just a perfect life, but a perfect world.

"With great power, comes great responsibility." -Spider-Man. Quoting this because tons and tons of people abuse their power in life, ESPECIALLY as GMs and Admins of Clans/Crews/Guilds in video games. Goes back to my first point, obviously.
"Love is love, hate is hate, and all is fair in love and war."
"You know someone is truly special when they are the only one to be defending a team or something that could get them killed." In the case of the Texas Rangers, among the thousands of fans that attend every game, the select probably couple hundred that commentate on the wins and losses online, and even fewer than that, I am the only one right now still defending them and saying that they have what it takes to AT LEAST make it to the playoffs this year.

Don't go to tumblr or whatever tween/teen sites and believe everything they say. And don't do stuff because it's trendy. Look up real sites and be yourself.

And yeah that's just general advice
As for my own, don't listen to your parents 24*7, they are 99% of the time just bs or wrong anyways.

If you're able to, take your time deciding what you want to do in college (which path/degree you wish to pursue). The vast majority of people don't know what they want to do with their lives just exiting high school. There's no need to rush into something that may end up providing you with a "forever loan." Talk to your parent(s), mentor(s), advisor(s), or anyone else with experience that you trust to provide plenty of discussion to lead you on the right path that you really want.

To add to this, I would try to analyze what your parents have done or are currently doing wrong in life, as to not make the same mistake yourself. In fact, pay attention to everyone's mistakes and think about what you would have done differently. That way you have the foresight for if you ever find yourself in the same situation.

Look into an IRA account at your local bank, ask if they have annual fees.
plan for your own life, and the future when you still can. don't skip out on an opportunity because you think you're in love with your new boyfriend / girlfriend. don't put your life on hold for someone else, just, don't do that. ever. nope.
Yeah, man. They'd done so much wrong(mainly mental abuse and not giving a **** what I want) you think they shouldn't be allowed to have children so been there done that.

Learn to take care of yourself in many ways. Emotionally, physically, mentally etc. Don't base your happiness on someone elses. Always pee after sex to avoid getting a UTI. You're also entitled to be selfish every once in a while. Your feelings MATTER, your thoughts count. Treat people how YOU want to be treated. Be the neighbor that Mister Rogers thinks you are.

Stay in school (college/university). Too many of my friends dropped out and kick themselves for it.
