Proverbs 22:5
In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,
    but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

          This verse applies to the social aspects of being a teenager and I will tell you why. If you are a "wicked" person, life will be hard for you. If you are a teenager and you get dragged into doing bad things, such as smoking and drugs, Life will be harder for you. Your health will deteriorate eventually and that will make your life harder. If you want to stay healthy and on the right path, you will stay away from the people who do things like that. You want to stay away from the "bad" crowds if you want to preserve your life. You have to watch who your friends are and who you hang out with.

Proverbs 22:8
Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity,
    and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.

This verse talks about how business people should treat their workers because of this. If say, you are a business person and you don't treat your workers very well, "Sowing injustice", you will reap calamity, or destruction. If you physically abuse your workers "The rod wielded in fury" It will come back to hurt you. It won't last forever, you will eventually reap what you sow. This verse also isn't just talking about business people, it says "Whoever" so even if you are to young or to old to work, you must still treat people well and with the respect they deserve.

Proverbs 22:16
One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
    and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

This verse warns business people from getting greedy and this is why. If you hurt others or do other things like sueing, you will probably get a lot of money out of it. Also, if you do things like bribing or flattery, giving presents to people and expecting something in return, you will also probably make a lot of money. This is one thing in common but there is also another, doing both of these things will eventually lead to poverty. You can apply this to a teenagers life like mine because if say, you are a bully and oppress other people, you may get a lot of attention but you will probably be caught and you will also most likely not make any friends. Also, if you flatter people with presents and gifts, you will only make "Fake" friends. I think that is partly what true poverty is: Having no friends, no-one to turn to for help.
