When you feel like giving advice to kids, few things may help -
1. Don't. Yes. You read it right. Don't give advice. Because that is all they receive all the time. They have no way to know that your advice is the one to follow.
2. You actually walking the talk MAY help. contd..

But don't count too much on it. As there are literally millions at your level of success in life.
