Adolescence is a stage of physical and emotional changes, many young people despite their young age believe they are ready to make some decisions and discard the advice given by their parents, it is the age where we think we know everything and we are ready to "eat the world" as we say colloquially in my country; in the weekend engagement topics proposed by , I will answer question number 2:
If you could go back in time, to when you were fifteen years old, what warning and what advice would you give yourself and why?
If I could go back in time and go back to my 15 years, the main warning would be to take my decisions more cautiously and I would listen to my parents' advice, they already went through that stage and have the experience, although at the moment it seems fine to me, or I consider them old-fashioned for not letting me go to a party for example, now I understand that it is for my own good, if I had listened and put into practice many of their advice, I would have avoided several bad times product of making rash decisions.
Making some decisions isn't as simple as it seems. It requires prior analysis, as the consequences can affect the future and sometimes even your well-being. Therefore, it's important to think a little more deeply and analyze the situation.
Another piece of advice I would give myself is not to be so trusting, not everyone is our friend, true friends are there to support us in the good and not so good times, we believe that our classmates, neighbors and many people around us are friends but it turns out that this is not the case, not everyone is friends and many do not like to see us progress and achieve and accomplish our goals, because I was trusting and believing they were my friends, I told some of my dreams to achieve when I was an adult and some aspects of my life, which were later used against me, this taught me that I should be careful when talking about my goals and that not everyone is my friend, looking back and at fifteen years old, I would make better decisions and focus on what I like and am passionate about doing, also investing time in activities that contribute to my well-being and personal growth, last but not least, spending time with my family, enjoying an outing to the park, the river or simply an afternoon watching movies at home, laughing, loving and helping our loved ones is essential to strengthen bonds and create beautiful memories.
