Replying to HELP me with my English final

Hey NS, so my English final as a senior is due Tuesday may 26th, and the assignment is as follows: As you approach the end of your adolescence, what advice do you have for those just entering this stage of life?  What are the important thing(s) you believe every newly-minted teenager should know and understand about adolescence?;  So basically what advice you guys have for the youngsters about to enter high school.  My teacher said to have fun with it, so i thought, why not make it an NS forum?  Keep it clean, and thanks for helping me out.
