what have you learn in your teens?

I am still a teen at heart so still finding out lol!!!!!

What personal achievement makes me proud? Raising my two children who have grown up to be amazing.

I got my first job when I was 14. I went to school and worked after school. I studied a lot and spent most of my time on school and work.

I got my first "job" as a tutor at school . . . and if there was no one to tutor, I got paid for cutting coupons for my teacher . In any case, getting work experiment was good .

I moved out at age 16, worked as a waitress, pay my own rent and bills. I have always been independent too.

I became independent at an early age after losing my Mom at only 14. I had to grow up fast. But it paid off and made me who I am today. I also lived in depression and survived to tell about it.

I learned to be strong when I was a teenager. I had to help my mother with the driving, as my older brother had a part time job on the weekends in town but he couldn't drive because he has epilepsy. I wouldn't ever take him feeling sorry for himself after a seizure, as this happened often, it was a fact of life and I was his leaning post many many times. I paid my own tuition for the private high school that I attended, so I taught myself some pretty good savings strategies, which I still use today. My diploma meant a lot to me as a result of paying for it all.

Just getting out of my teens I'll have to think about that!

I have worked since the age of 14 while I was at school and after while I was at college I worked nights until I qualified. I liked the fact that I had some of my own money and never ever asked my parents for a thing! My grandmother did not approve of me going into higher education and told me off saying I was a sponger on my parents. Hence my determination never to take a penny off them. Of course when I qualified I was the bees knees in her eyes!

Well, I started babysitting when I was ten.. and then had a child at fifteen. So i learned more on how to take care of kids, how strong I really was / am, and probably other stuff as well.

Me too, Fredo. I learned to be independent ever since my Mother gave me away to my Father’s aunt so that she can do her stupidity. I learned to work hard for myself and help my Brothers to the best that I can.

I think that a lot of us have a lot to learn about being independent. I commend you for your work ethic and strength. Thanks for serving in the Navy, too.

What I learned when I was a teen is to choose your friends and mingle with the right people.

I am always independent as my country got independence on 15th August 1947. Hahaha.

I learned to value generosity more than intelligence.

I started to work when I was 19, I was proud of my first salary, I spent everything to buy a gift for my father and my mother.

During my teens I only studied, I only became independent when I finished university.

Wow. So hard working Indian kids are dependent on Parents completely in teenage

I have to say I was pretty independent as well. I did my own thing and didn't care what others thought about that. I wore my hair long, I wore what I wanted, didn't care about brand names or the in-crowds. I also started working at 14 and never stopped so I am pretty happy and proud that I learned the value of hard work and earning money very early on. I actually would have started working at 13 but the farmer I asked said he wanted to pay with pumpkins, and while I am in sales nowadays, was NOT a salesman at 13. Although at eight I did go door to door selling greeting cards for some company I can't remember the name of. Made $1 per sale. I did that for probably two or three years.

Oh, I do not know if I learned anything. I am very emotional and I am always in the life of the rules of error.
