'The mullet is totally coming back': 25+ worst pieces of advice that former high school students regret taking

People love giving unsolicited advice to high school students, even if that advice is unfounded, misguided, and totally unproductive.

For instance, the concept that these four years will determine how you end up spending the rest of your life is not only incredibly false but also potentially damaging to a teenager. Most of these nuggets of so-called "advice" likely stem from adults who have complex relationships with their own high school experiences. Perhaps they regret their approach to their school work or social lives. Or perhaps they are burdened with such delusion that they have fully convinced themselves that everything they did in high school was correct and that's why they're so "successful" today.

Essentially, if you're currently a high school student or you know someone who is in the midst of those scarring but sometimes formative years, it would behoove you to take all of this unsolicited advice with a grain of salt. People love to project. Only occasionally are they able to find useful takeaways from their experiences that could be beneficial to someone else, so don't take this advice too seriously, kids.
