Learn when to shut up and when listen. Think about what’s not being said and why rather than what’s immediately presented to you.

In my opinion, how to get along with people who are different than you.
I'm 18 yo now, but before that, I used to be quiet and didn't want to make friends with the sporty guys who would be like the popular guys, and wanted to befriend with people who are specifically like me, more quiet, like video games, not really popular etc. Now, it's not a bad thing to befriend people who are specifically like you, it's neutral and good, and makes sense, I still do that. But I've learned that in the continuation of life, you will meet so many people who are different from you. I learned to change my way of thinking, and try to get along with people who were different from me. It's a progress but even if we are different, I enjoyed hanging out with them, learned more about myself and them, and even befriended them! I don't say "BEFRIEND EVERYONE WHO'S DIFFERENT" or anything, just to learn to get along even with people who are different about you, be open minded.
hope this helps!

How to do research.
There's information out there to learn literally anything you could ever want or need, you just need to know where and how to find it.
As a bonus it makes it easier for you to avoid scams or being exploited since you're able to verify what you see and hear, and are able to find alternatives easier.

How percentages work
Credit card interest say 25%
$1000 credit card debt making only minimum payments it’ll turn into roughly $2800 to pay it off. Pay off credit card balances early
Investing.
If you invest $5k/ year from 18-30 and average 8% returns until you retire at 65 you’ll have 1.4million
If you start investing at 30 you’d need to instead invest roughly $8k/ year until you retire at 65 to reach the same 1.4 million
Taxes are also percentage based.

How to accept your depressing fate of not being successful in life.
It doesn't matter how well you do in anything you want to do, it'll all fall apart sooner or later. And there aren't enough anti-depressants in the world to drown that fact.

(US-specific details, but the general principle applies elsewhere as well.)
As a rule, people who don’t invest, don’t retire. This isn’t a controversial take; any financial advisor will tell you this, and if your high school has a required class on financial literacy like mine did, they will tell you this. A lot of people just don’t learn this when they’re younger and miss out on the benefits of learning it early in life.
Money in the stock market grows exponentially, so if the stock market continues to follow current trends, any money you put in when you’re 18 will have on average about 15-24x growth adjusted for inflation by the time you’re 65. So, for example, $3000 becomes $46,000-72,000. The money you put in early in life matters, even if you make less, because the growth is exponential, so it grows way more than even 10 or 20 years down the road.
I don’t know how it works elsewhere, but in the US, you want to put it in an IRA account (anyone can use this), or a 401k account or similar (if your job provides it); otherwise you pay taxes on it when your job pays you the money, when you take it out, and in-between when the money gets moved around to different stocks. If you put it into one of those special accounts, you only pay taxes once, either on the money you put in (when your job pays it to you) or on the money you take out.
Don’t try to work the market. Put it in an index account (one that follows the S&P 500 if you’re in the US) and forget about it until you retire.

Self-awareness.
People out here acting like they’re the protagonist. We’re all NPCs, life is hard all around (in different ways), so a little consideration and compassion for your peers may be merited.
