Yes. I was planning on looking into that advice when I'm older. Say early 20's.
Also, my advice would be to not take advice from people like this online. Find role models in real life who you admire and can look up to and ask them about this stuff. Adults don't have everything figured out as much as you think. The comment above is a perfect example, where an adult seems to be preoccupied with one specific issue that they possibly struggled with......and that likely doesn't apply to you at all.
Find people in your life who are good, who are doing good and who are being good. Talk to these people. Look for mentors in real life.
As a general rule: nothing you read online should be taken seriously. It is too difficult to filter what is important and true, from what is not.
