17? Fuck me, let me give you a run down of my life.
1: at the age of 14 started smoking weed and taking drugs
2: failed the majority of my GCSES at the age of 16
3: 16 - 24 worked low skilled jobs
4: 24-28 got married and had a child and divorced (that order)
5: 28-29 retook my GCSEs in english and maths and passed (in 6 weeks as opposed to 33 weeks) also did an access course so i can go to university
6: Now going to university to study environmental science to get my masters before the age of 35 with 35 years to go before my retirement.
Now i have made some mistakes, but it's not to late. Life is all about mistakes and learning from them. 17? this lad has plenty of time to make many mistakes, sure they wont be the same mistakes as mine where i just basically partied to much but he can still learn from them and steer his life in accordance, and since he is still looking to the future unlike i was at his age he will probably gets where he wants/needs to be a lot faster.
On a more depressing note, anyone under the age of 30 is fucked lol
