\u00a0But today, they have a personal opinion for everything, leaving you both feeling glad that your kid is growing but also sad that it happened so fast. They also leave you pondering about whether you had enough time to teach them everything and wondering if they\u2019re ready to face adult life.\n

\n

We are sure that it\u2019s never too late to\u00a0give good advice. But there are things that should be\u00a0discussed with kids in\u00a0their teenage years, and we\u00a0tried to\u00a0collect such recommendations in\u00a0this article.\n\n

\n

Be\u00a0able to\u00a0admit your mistakes.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n

Everyone can make a\u00a0mistake\u00a0\u2014 whether it\u00a0be\u00a0in\u00a0their studies, at\u00a0work, and even in\u00a0their personal life. Trust\u00a0us, if\u00a0you say that you made a\u00a0mistake, many people will want to\u00a0help you correct\u00a0it. But if\u00a0you keep insisting that you\u2019re right, you\u2019ll only worsen the situation.\n\n

\n

Don\u2019t let others make choices for you.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s normal to\u00a0make your own mistakes, make conclusions, and learn from them; but it\u00a0hurts when you have to\u00a0pay for other people\u2019s decisions. Even if\u00a0the choice doesn\u2019t lead to\u00a0a\u00a0mess, how will you know what would have happened if\u00a0you had done everything your own way?\n\n

\n

Learn to\u00a0say\u00a0no.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n

It\u2019s normal to\u00a0say no\u00a0if\u00a0something doesn\u2019t fit in\u00a0your plans or\u00a0makes you feel uncomfortable. If\u00a0you try to\u00a0be\u00a0convenient for everyone, it\u00a0won\u2019t make you a\u00a0good person, but rather, it\u00a0can turn you into an\u00a0unhappy one.\n\n

\n

Don\u2019t drive yourself into stereotypes.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n

Don\u2019t refuse the things that you like only because someone claims that girls or\u00a0boys shouldn\u2019t behave this way. Ancient Vikings would\u00a0knit\u00a0socks and it\u00a0didn\u2019t prevent them from being brutal guys. At\u00a0the time, when the fight for women\u2019s rights has just started, Lady Ada Lovelace, the daughter of\u00a0the poet, George G. Byron,\u00a0became\u00a0the first programmer in\u00a0the world.\n\n

\n

Don\u2019t feel shy to\u00a0ask for help.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

We\u00a0all feel helpless and vulnerable from time to\u00a0time. There are tasks that one person can\u2019t do\u00a0but that can easily be\u00a0completed with someone\u2019s help. Learn to\u00a0ask for help and support\u00a0\u2014 at\u00a0least not to\u00a0let the ones who are counting on\u00a0you down.\n\n

\n

Be\u00a0truly brave.\n\n
\n
\"\"\n
\n
\n
\n

Much more courage is\u00a0required not to\u00a0do\u00a0silly things together with someone, but to\u00a0refuse to\u00a0do\u00a0it\u00a0in\u00a0public in\u00a0front of\u00a0each other.\n\n
