...good luck...If you could give one piece of advice to a 17 year old girl about life, what would it be?
It will all be over soon.





Honestly, it will. Our glimpse of life on this planet is far too short as far as I can tell. I am a 23 year old male so that might jade your perspective on my answer, but you really should try your best not to let the things that seem to have the most value get you down when they don't go your way. If you are fired from a job you will find another one, no matter how doomed you think you are. If you get dumped, you will find someone else.





The best thing that I have found is that if you are an amazing person you don't need to worry much about things outside of yourself. Perfect your talents, enjoy your hobbies. Be the best you can at everything you do (which doesn't always mean being the winner).





That, and this ride will feel like it will never get better at times. Remember, it's just a ride.





My favorite quote ';The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down, and round and round, and has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question ';Is this real, or is this just a ride?'; And other people have remembered and they come back to us and they say ';Hey, don't worry. Don't be afraid. Ever. Because, this is just a ride.'; And we kill those people. ';Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.'; It's just a ride. (...) And we can change it at any time. It's only a choice. No effort. No work. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice now, between Fear and Love...';





It goes on, and it is from Bill Hicks. I guess my final advice? Have fun.
In Life's journey there are many paths along the way.


Each path has a calling, saying: ';This way, this way.';





You may stand and ponder at which path you should take.


But in your Heart you know,...The Path of Huge mistakes.





So even though your tempted,to try an unknown route.





Stop,and Think, and Ask yourself, should you lose your


bearings, will you find the right path back,


Or will you carry on, down the beaten track?





Then if you reach the Darkness, that the wrong paths sure to bring, Can you hold your head up,turn,and start again?
When you meet a man worth marrying, check his credit. It will tell you a lot about him, especially if you never would have thought he'd be the type of guy that would borrow money and not pay it back. A man who does that won't be able to furnish you in a home, or a new car. You'll be doing it on your own when you should be a team.
ok im only 19 so i probably dont have that much advice to share but when i was 17, i worried alot about the future, what people thought of me and letting some stupid boy ruin my time. So my advice is to just tell yourself everyday that you are amazing just the way you are.
';the greatest discovery is the discovery of the being called i';





there are two parts that make us. one is the physical world, which is our external selves. the other is the metaphysical world, meaning (above) physical, and that's our being or our soul.





we choose our significant other because we are all incomplete. we all constantly search for someone to share our being with. that's what i believe love is...sharing. we try to share our being with another, so close, so deeply and intentionally that we call it love. we choose to become one, even though we can't...we still feel like its happening. its almost so true that if two people are sitting in a room, they can communicate without using any words...how wonderful right?





i believe you should search for the beauty within yourself. Not the beauty with anything physical, only the beauty of the being. try to see how wonderful it is. keep in mind, I'm not talking about anything of your body, but your soul. your being is the same being that you had as a child and as a baby. but your body has changed enormously. so think of your being, or your soul and see the greatness of it. That's the way i believe love should be developed.





philosophy is such a beautiful thing. you should really look into it.





check out my answers of other questions on philosophy cuz i've gotten most of them chosen as best answers and they might help out a lot. (mostly because i don't want to make this answer extremely long)
Enjoy life as much you can, build your future and bring some light to this dark world. You, the younger, are the future of mankind.
Don't rush things by trying to do everything before you're twenty because it will most likely only kill you faster.
Hardship sharpens the mind and refines the intellect. Try to learn something from everything.
';The unexamined life is not worth living';
a smart man learns from his mistakes and a wise man learns from other's mistakes.





live,love,and love more
';if they do it once they'll do it again';
Believe in what I am going to tell you: fight for peace and liberty.





With what tool? Love!
