Distracted by my mom & her marital woes, so tey I couldn't get a University degree. But I was smart enough to buy books & read.

Thanks to her sisters for also contributing to her woes.

Hello teenagers, as long as you got a vision and know you wouldn't be carried away by "the things of this world". As long as you're disciplined and a real one, please have as much fun as you want, doing the things you love with an unhealthy amount of hardwork, and you will still get the top.

No matter how you live, you will get old and die one day — or even die young. Don't let society make you take decisions (as long as it's not destructive to others or to yourself) that will make you unhappy and full of regrets later. Everybody gonna die but don't everybody live.

I regret not using my handsomeness to my advantage, I regret being so alone that I began to enjoy being alone — nowadays, I still can't get rid of that. I indulged in self hatred and let narcissists make my life miserable. Please don't be like me — be intentional and let the world take the middle finger as long as you know where you're going.

Any time I see all this teenagers of nowadays being unnecessary difficult and naughty, imagine a girl of fifty telling how ineffective postinor 2 has become or a boy of 16 who is always high on hard drugs.

During my teenage age ( secondary school) I was hawking corn for my Mom, I had a lot of responsibilities despite not being the first child. I can't remember teenagers that are this wasteful during my time.

What did you do during your teenage years!

terrible time of my life...I was used like a maid in every household simply because my parent abandoned me

I was reading books and drawing from 7 till I was 10

Just an autistic kid , don't talk much


I learnt C on a commodore 64 at my school then my teacher helped me in learning this by giving me manuals to read

I built few things like console based games , one of which was based on a Nigerian fantasy I sold to a computer store owner for 500 which I used to buy biscuits and lots of sweets , I didn't give af about money or hustle

My teenage years was just eat , read, code, sleep

I just wanted to live my life probably build a house off-grid and code not for profit while owning multiple farms

I was so hardworking in my teenage age I started when I was 14 years after school we go to farm me and my younger brother to carry palm fruit from a very far distance to the mill we do that Monday to Saturday sometimes we don’t even eat sometimes na only garri and groundnut we go chop go on sunday we mill it and also do the fiber If you’re from ondo state ikale side precisely u will know what I’m talking about

I was already a professional Barber at the age of 13 and in jss2...till I graduated from secondary school. I was so responsible that my mom and every elders in the community were so proud of me. Throughout my secondary school days, I never for one day ask my mom for a penny... I foot all my bills and I didn't joke with my studies...i never missed school.


Three months after I left secondary school at the age of 19, my old time customer and friend who owns a filling station in oyo state came and carried me that I should come and work. I followed him and he treated me so well because I was well misbehaved. I later became his manager.

This generation of parents and children are becoming something we don't want to understand.

Studied hard. No partying, no girls, focused and religious.

You better wake up from your sleep and leave your father alone.

Some of us didn't have consciousness or even a bit of liberty to exhibit our teen ages.

It's pretty deep bro

Well, I was done with secondary school at age 16 and that was when I had full control of my teenage age. I stadted working in computer business centres which I use the computers their to learn and master programming (before I go admission into the university 2019). I worked in different business centres because of good pay and had access to computers so that I can learn more about programming since I don't have a PC of my own. I was also fighting the influence of not having a girlfriend bcuz everyone then had one and it was never of interest to me then.
Till date, the decision I made at age 16 has contributed to my life positively (most especially when it comes to coding) and now am 23, still learning and struggling to get a good laptop for myself and get a good tech (remote) job someday as the 50K laptop I got for myself 2019 is getting damn slow because of my workload now.

I hawked Garri and Yam for my late mum...
