What's something every teen should know?
They should know that staying in school is NOT a necessity. It does help to finish school and what not but having a good attitude and not expecting everything to just come to you will get you so much further than a decent education alone. Take it from me, I didn't even finish year 10 and I already have a buttload of experience in the workplace, several Certs, a fair few WACE points and more to my name than most kids my age that are still in school.
Honestly, if you have your mind made up about what you wanna do with your life and don't wanna wait til after you finish school, find out what requirements you need and how to get there, drop outta school, then go out and do what the fuck you want with your life as soon as you can. Life is too short for people to just sit in a classroom and have non-essential information (that may not even holf amy crucial substance to your life) parrotted back to you.
It goes without saying, though, some people may need, or even want, to stay in school and do all that educational stuff. I'm not saying that NOT staying in school is the best option for everybody. I'm saying that staying in school isn't the be all and end all as it's made out to be. And yeah.
Just do whatever the bloody you wanna, kids. I'll leave it at that.
