There are some good points here, but my advice is that you should take your teens seriously. It seems like the prevailing advice today for anyone in their teens is to live their lives free of any commitments and as independent and undirected as possible. But lately I realized the importance of my teens to a degree I never had and it has changed how I plan to approach the last few years of my teens. I'm not going to wait until my twenties to move into my parent's house and work on my startup. I already live in their house, so why wait? Also, since everybody peaks in their twenties, why waste our best years making mistakes? By starting early, I'm getting lots of mistakes out of the way. By the time I hit my twenties, I'll be at peak performance and have tons of experience under my belt. But sometimes I wish I'd started as a tween.
