I don’t wanna regret anything in the future

Drugs, smoking, vaping, too much alcohol, behaving stupidly in general and carelessly to other people, not concentrating on school and not thinking of your future.

Drugs, gangs and all of that stuff.
Surround yourself with hardworking people.
Get your head down and work hard, so you can get ahead.
Probably best not to get engaged like I did. With hindsight that was stupidly young.

You will always have regrets, you will look back and realise missed opportunities that you didn't realise were there at the time. Discover new and better ways to deal with thoughts, feelings and just day to day life that will have you saying "if only i knew then what i knew now".

Advice, don't be afraid of regrets that come from making a decision be afraid of indecision and stagnation. And as you get older remember that hindsight is a tool for self reflection and not something to get hung up on as everything is always clearer later
