As a teenager, I was fascinated by Justine Gorder's books. “Mysterious Solitaire”, “orange Girl”, “Circus performer's daughter”. Although now I don't find anything as amazing in them as I used to.
In general, read everything. Life principles are not taken ready-made from books on psychology. Read prose, different life situations of different people. Good fantasy. Finally, read your autobiographies . Even the most skilful writer is not able to replace events from the lives of real people with fiction! They have more truth in them, and I think they are more useful.
I was brought up by such works of fiction as A Clockwork Orange, Bread and Ham(Bukowski), The Burden of Human Passion(Somerset Maugham), Orwell's 1984, and Oh, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. I almost forgot Hunter Thompson's fear and loathing in Las Vegas.
I always tried to read literature, which most people did not recommend reading, because the forbidden fruit is sweet.�
These works gave me, in addition to a lot of pleasant emotions, basic concepts of values and education of a strong personality.
Books on philosophy and psychology will not give you anything but completely unnecessary and excessive reflection. Get indecisive, and that's it. Read the artwork! Watch feature films! The Strugatskys and their world of noon, the spider-man cartoon from the 90s, Interstellar, the Iron Man trilogy will help you form the right values, in my opinion: intelligence, progress, success, science, humanity, money.
I recommend Irwin Yalom's “When Nietzsche Cried” to everyone, regardless of their age. The book is incredibly interesting and informative, it has everything: philosophy and psychology.

I'm an amateur in these areas, so you can see for yourself whether it fits or not.
Read Dostoevsky. Fyodor Mikhailovich will not teach you anything bad. This is a great psychologist, not for nothing that he was admired by psychologists such as Sondi and so on. Even if a teenager adheres to agnosticism or atheism, Dostoevsky's deep orthodoxy does not hurt.
Read the Messenger. It is good for helping teenagers understand themselves and understand that they are not alone against everyone.
Read Dumas! Maybe you'll grow up to be a noble Musketeer 🙂
