Gohar is for real like an uncle giving us his wisdom from his years

Being a teenager is like a foggy road, you don’t know where your gonna go, you always fear there’s a cliff at the end.

[yaoyaoli]

it's pretty stressful for teenagers tbh. People keep thinking that we should be happy and stuff. But getting used to the new body and the school trends and everything is constantly making me stressed out.

The major problem, for me at least, is that I keep stopping doing things I like simply because I think I'm wasting time by not doing things that look "competitive" for admissions officers. I've realized that it is much more important to do something that you are passionate about than doing what you want others to think you do and enjoy.

I am 14 and i am constantly struggling with maintaining my grades, my health and also my hobbies. It became so much of a burden that i didn't think it was possible, until i saw Gohar's Channel. Thanks Mr. Gohar.

Hey Gohar! I'm in Highschool and looking back at your videos I've learned a lot from you and have gotten more courage than I ever had before because of you. Keep going and post more videos.

Thank you so much!

This might be the most helpful video i have seen yet on this platform. As a french teenager with ADHD, i really need to rewatch this video a lot to process everything, my life is falling appart right now. Familly problems, my weirdness, my fragile social skills, adding my adhd on top of that makes it very painful. This video might help me to get back up and move on with my life, thank you gohar.

0:27 Embrace the Weird (Your “weirdness” can make you stand out in a good way!)

2:28 Everything is a Skill (Hard skills: Concrete; Soft skills: Less tangible. BOTH ARE TRAINABLE!)

4:01 It’s Never Too Late (Being a teen is still a lot of time to learn something!)

5:03 You are More Capable Than You Realize (Not everything is based on innate talent!)

6:22 Be Explicit (Ghosting and beating around the bush can lead to people believing your unreliable)

7:50 Life is a Presentation Game (Presentation is important!)

9:03 Nurture Relationships (It’s up to you to talk to your parents/friends! Time will slowly go away, and you have to start putting in the effort!)

This honestly opened my mind a lot. Advice like this hasn’t explicitly been told to me but hearing it from you it must really be important

Yes, please make a part 2. I’m still 15 and this has been very useful

[tired_axolotl]

Thanks for this! I’m currently 13 years old and this helps a lot. I’ve heard some of the same advice from others and I’m aware that it works. I’d definitely like to see more videos like this since I’m going into high school and the idea is pretty scary. Your advice has already helped me a lot in many different areas, and this is great. Please keep going with your content, it’s helping so many people.
