 Hi, my name is Frederick. I just did a Ouija board right now and I have a lot to tell Chen. And by the time this video goes up, it'll have been my birthday! This year I'm turning 17. My birthday was June 28. For all of you who don't know, but thank you all for the birthday wishes. There's like... I still have to respond to some. But Lord General Marbles has done this video many times in the past. And for her birthday last year, she didn't make this video, which made me sad because these are some of my favorite videos to hear, because it's nice to learn some things from other people and find new perspectives. By the way, these things I've learned in life lessons that I'm going to tell you, you have no reason to take them. I mean, it's just for you to hear. So without further ado, here are 17 things I've learned in 17 years. Number one, don't ever add your negative feelings bottle up inside you. This, I don't listen to that much, but I have learned many times that it's worth just say it out. Just tell anyone, even if it hurts their feelings. If you have any fears or doubts, they're like, oh, I don't want to make them upset. I don't want to get into a fight. It's more worth it to tell them and be honest with them than have you suffer by yourself, because you can at least work out this problem, hopefully. For me, a lot of the times I usually just stay at my house and I will tell maybe one or two people online, because you always want someone to fall back on no matter what. But it's better to just go up straight to the person and be like, hey, listen, this is bothering me. Let's talk this out so we can, you know, be normal again. Number two is learn to stop giving fucks about things. You know what? I used to be insecure about my body, my hair, my eyebrows, my eyes, my nose, my mouth, my teeth, my everything. I've been there. But eventually you get to this point in your life where you're like, you know what? I don't give fucks about that. Someone wants to point out something wrong with your body. Guess what, bitch? I don't give fucks, because if you just say that, they have nothing to respond with. And like, yeah, it's just, I don't give fucks. And yeah, I know it's much harder to say that easily because there's like people who've dealt with insecurities their whole life. And it's, you know, it could be like on an extreme. But even if you just say it to yourself, like it helps eventually, because I sometimes I still say it when on the inside, I still feel that way. But it doesn't drag out that situation, because they're like, oh fine, he gives no fucks. And if someone wants to point something out to you and you can't say I don't give no fucks, then show them this video and go to this timestamp. Guess what, they don't give fucks. There, I said it for you. Number three is don't ever wax your eyebrows after going to a shower, because um, you can't, you might not be able to tell. It rips your fucking skin off. Don't do it, just wait, moisturize first. Number four is take photos everywhere you go, as much as possible. I'm kind of inclined to do it because I love photography and I, well I take photos as a hobby. But I always hear people go around and say, oh I wish I had more photos of my pet, or us when we went to this trip back in 2010. I'm pretty sure all of you guys nowadays have a phone. You don't have an excuse to not have enough photos, that's on you for not taking them. Like the reason why I take all these photos is because you don't want to, you don't want to forget those memories you made with your friends, or even with yourself, like if you saw a pretty flower one day, I mean just, just take a photo of it. So you look back on it and be like, I took a, I saw a pretty flower one day and it made me happy, you know? Number five is don't be afraid to take risk in your life. And this is so broad and can be taken so many different ways and it's very cliche. But for me it's like literally a first world problem. But back when I was younger, I used to be scared of wearing like button up shirts or tucking in my shirts. This what bitch? Yesterday I literally wore a button up shirt, tucked it in and wore a belt. And I got compliments on it and now I like tucking in my shirt. Number six is if you've ever been lazy at home and you haven't been with your friends for a while, force them to take you somewhere. I don't care where, just go. I don't care if you don't want to go because it's so worth it to make these memories with your friends because you don't have them forever guys. And you're gonna regret not making these memories when you see them on your Snapchat. You know, at a McDonald's restaurant and just they're chatting and talking about life and stupid stuff and having fun and spilling salt everywhere and getting kicked out. Like you wanna be there for the moment. Number seven is if you ever feel stressed about like the world coming in on you or you feel like you have no friends or just a lot of thoughts are growing in your mind, clear them out by just leaving. Get off of your phone, get out of the house, walk somewhere, take a bike ride in nature, drive in a straight line. I don't care where you go, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy nature for what it is and enjoy like the life that you're given. Once again, kind of easier for me because I'm a photographer but like everywhere I go I see potential with things. Like that fucking piece of grass, beautiful. Number eight is if you have really oily skin and by oily I mean like you wake up at seven o'clock and by the time you get home from school you are in oil spill. Buy blotting sheets, have a pack with you at all times because they are a fucking godsend. I can go through about like two a day I think at most but like people around me try to be relatable when I'm using them and they're like oh my god I have oily skin too and I go oh you really, really try. They take one of my beautiful sheets of paper and waste it just by doing this and there's like one spot that got soaked. Do you know what happened earlier before this video? This already happened. And guess what I did before this? Wash my face. I don't want to hear that you have oily skin until you come to me and you soak one of these up. Soak it up bitch. Soak it up. Number nine is if you ever see something on the road that you think could be useful, just take it. A few weeks ago I saw this desk like a wooden desk on the sidewalk and I was like you know what? I do art stuff. I want a fucking desk. I own my own desk. I want it. So I took that desk and I'm going to paint over it and you know make it like artistic because I want to be that bitch. But you know what? It's mine now because anything on the ground be fair game. Number 10. Don't ever speak about your teachers online. They will find out trust me on that. But number 11 is befriend at least one teacher at school. And I don't mean like oh miss, Miss Johnson can you give me like a better grade on this please because I'm really trying to get into college and stuff. No, not like that but friend. I'm talking become their friend as in like set aside the fact that they're a teacher. Diarrhea therapy talk them. Like have them know your whole life. Befriend to them, talk to them every day. Be able to vent to them about how sucky your day was. So you get adult infer- Like you get their opinion because most friends will be like oh my god same or oh I feel you I'm sorry about that. Whereas adults they give you actual advice. And like you learn stuff from that. No shade to my friend. I mean you guys help me a lot but sometimes teachers they just know what to say. My photography teacher is this for me but he's also related to ice and number 10 because he knows I called him hot on a video. Number 12. Don't ever do something that you know has no benefit from it. One time I was hanging out with a friend and this was like back in third or fourth grade and this friend of mine is like enemies with my next-door neighbor's friend but I'm friends with both of them. So one day the friend was like oh you want to like sabotage that next-door neighbor and like cut off their mother's tulips. And I was like okay why not because I was in third grade and they were like eighth grade already. I was just an innocent boy who wanted to just do stuff. So yeah I took scissors and I cut all the tulip heads like this and the father saw and I got grounded for like a week and that was the one time I got grounded. I knew there was no benefit. I just felt like doing it. So don't do that stuff if you ever feel like it. Number 13. Number 13 is if you are like 90% sure that you can save money somehow by finding like another way to do something, take it. I currently only have my permit. I haven't got my license yet. Getting it soon though. But like I may or may not have driven somewhere like seven minutes away because I didn't want to waste six dollars on an Uber. Like guess I saved six dollars that round or actually 12 because it would be a round trip and I didn't get caught because I'm actually like a good driver but take it with a grain of salt because you're only so invisible to the cops. Trust me, trust me on that. Number 14. Don't ever run with flip flops on the ground especially in grass because you will slip and hurt something. Earlier today I was playing duck duck goose and I hit someone with goose and I started running away and I full on soccer slid just on the side of my body and I have a purple bruise now. Number 15. This is controversial but something I've learned in my life especially like one hour ago is that ghosts are real and I will get into detail about it in another video but I did a Ouija board and I tried it before two years ago and nothing happened but this time I did it with some friends and I could tell none of them were lying because you can see fingertips and stuff but I talked to three different spirits and that it didn't even scare me it's just weird to know that like this actually happened in real life and now I have personal evidence of it like I have proof that this actually happened and I have friends to back me up on it and I'm not saying that people who say that ghosts aren't real are wrong it's personally my belief in something I learned so don't come for me but I mean if there's anything you want to take from it it's just try a Ouija board with open mind okay because you could get surprised Number 16. Learn the difference between like deodorant antiperspirant, body spray, perfume cologne because there's all they all have differences and it's you don't want to know just just learn them it's all I'm telling you okay but I'm not going to tell you why finally most sappy's of all is number 17 you know when you get a wild card in Uno and it feels like so unexpected and out of nowhere but you're also like really excited there will always be someone in your life that is a wild card just like in Uno you know they come into your life out of nowhere and you feel so confused because like your whole mindset in life is just warped and like you don't know how to think you know how to act you do weird things that you don't normally do but in the end you you feel like you've won life or just the game of Uno I didn't say anything you didn't hear anything I said and that's the end of the video so if you enjoyed give us a like leave a comment down below about what you want me to do next week or the month from now because I do have a lot of videos planned guys and subscribe for more videos every Saturday Sunday whatever day I'm feeling at the time but I just want to thank everyone again for an amazing 17th birthday like I I don't celebrate my birthday that much anymore and my friends they they just they made it a lot better and so does some other people but those other people I will mention another day I didn't say anything I love you guys and everything is less than three
