What is your best life advice for teenagers?

It is not wrong to have no clue about what you want and about what to do. Nobody does. People claiming they knew had either no clue what it was that they wanted so badly or were delusional. So no bad feelings or emotional struggles about being clueless and without course. We all have a compass built into our belly. It points into the direction we desire to go. Not that this is the direction of heroic success, wealth, ease or total happiness. It can be directing us on a dire path. But it is where we want to go according to our own very nature. And nobody else can foresee this path. But there are always other people knowing best or better. Their compass is not yours. You may follow them but at the expense of a sick feeling in your stomach. Compromises is the norm. But do not try to reverse your compass needle. If your compass is spinning do random things, expand your view, get the big picture. Then the compass will probably lead anywhere or everywhere. You want it all. That too is good. You are never lost. You are here.
