I'm 16

upset at how shit my life turned out to be

Dude. You're 16. I understand you're the oldest you've ever been, but dude. I didn't hit my groove until late college and didn't find TRP until I was 28. Teenage years basically blow, focus on getting out of high school and starting a path to success. Work on yourself, getting comfortable in social situations, and realize that a 16 year old who "goes out" more than 2+ a week is the kind who don't make it into college.

Baby steps. 1) lift and good hygiene 2) recognizing and passing shit tests

You can lift without cutting, until you finish our growth (height-wise). In the mean time, less videogames and more productive activity: learn a langauge (I recommend Russian, Portuguese or Spanish, depending on what flavor of woman you like, and French, b/c it gives girls tingles, particularly if they don't speak it).

Also, learn to play an instrument. You are 16 and by the time you are 18 you will be LETHAL at it, assuming you practice every day. Go get a guitar.

Figure out what you're good at and what you want to do with your life and start building toward that goal. It's ok if you don't know yet, but start thinking about it, at least.

Life proceeds at an alarming pace. Soon enough, you will be looking back thinking, "Take it easy, count to ten, you'll wish you were sixteen again"

EDIT: oh, and 'eat clean' also. Stay the eff away from soda, candy, processed foods, etc. The more 'natural' you eat, the better.

Focus on 1) school 2) lifting heavy 3) figure out how you're going to get money in life, what to pursue I college, and which hobbies you want to develop. Use sports to socialize, and parties just once in a while.

Relax and enjoy being 16. Stay out of trouble.
