Time to continue where i left the previous topic but i'll keep it short....maybe...hehe! This time for life tips for 11 to 18 year old year old because as an adult i've been though a lot during my teenage days. At this age range parents should let their youngsters to freely choose their young ones path to discover
what they want and not by force. For you youngsters reading this its time for you all to go out and discover yourself and what you can do to enjoy without others dictating what you should be. Do not confined yourself stuck to between four wall of your room or even let society wants you to be especially in this era of digital social media and self impose demographic...aka 'digital show off' with zero contribution to the society. When i was between that age (in 90's) although excel well in education by sheer pressure from my strict parents, i went into 'self discovery' mode what i can do to have 'genuine' fun and push my self 'what i can do what normal society at my age can't'....being young i have all the time and energy....except money 
(Got max $1 dollar in my pocket). I'm the most rebellious child with obnoxious ideas and activities which led conflict of interest between my late mother, punishment to confined in a small toilet and a good swoosh of long garden water hose pipe on my legs and butt was still a thing i have to live up back then..ouch!! Again 'Asian Tiger' mom was a real thing! Living in the era before computer and median family with just a cheap CRT TV as most advance gadgets in our classic household my days was mostly spent outside my house. I've tried normal people activities like joining ranks of uniformed Scouting club, Taekwondo martial arts sports, Science club and bunch of normal people would join during free time which is popular choice by norm definition non of these makes me happy. So i went out side comfort zone taking my own solo passion 
on a new curios hobby in the early 90's such as mountain biking (cheap steel bike), engineering drawing via hand sketching, pastime DIY invention and ideas, self cartoonist, reading sci-fi, mysteries and technologies book in the library and lastly plastic kits and radio control modeling (cheap models actually)...all of these are out outside curriculum interest. My parents aren't happy with my hobby but my dad very 'secretly' supportive, lol. With these new found interest and true passion i finally enjoyed my young life to the fullest...my path of life was full of adventures; meeting new friends/people, join lots of competition/contest, touring around places and even went into national and international stages competing rival professional in the same hobby i was in. My greatest moments was mountain bike racing with national cycling team, British Petroleum innovation and ideas competition battle among national schools and won some awards both national and international in SONY International Ideas and Designs. Damn i even made stupid shame bloopers on national television during some invention demonstration..failed with thick face. Never mind i was still very handsome back then..hehehe! Fortunately thanks to my designs and noble ideas i received some good scholarship funding to continue my future into college to pursue into Electronics and 
Electrical engineering and then into Bachelor Degree in Computer Science...by then my age was 17 during the enrollment. However i did turn down a golden offer from University to learn medical course which leads to become doctor (love Biology but hate practical work)...at the end of the day i'm the only siblings whose not working in medical world. I have no regrets become IT Engineer/Programmer, i'm glad i've choosen my path thanks to self discovery outside people expectation have led me into happy future. Even moving the age of 19 into my 40s i still continues to have had lots of great moments, adventures, achievement and opportunity thanks to my early discovery of passion and interest during my teenage days....
