When I was that age, almost every piece of advice that came from adults seemed completely unworkable. Even if it was good advice, my brain couldn't process it in that way. I just heard some authority figure lecturing me again, and the thing to do was to appear compliant and get the lecture over with as soon as possible. I don't think it hurts anything to post advice like this directed at kids, but I have my doubts about how much good it does. If you really want to change the behavior of 13 year old boys, get some reasonably cool 15 and 16 year old boys to preach your message. That might be a bit of a trick in itself, though.
