I’ve only recently discovered that pheromones are even real. I’m a moderately attractive 17 year old male. I really would like to find out what kind of pheromones I should use to be more confident and respected with my peers. Attraction is also an aim, but not necessarily a primary objective. I read a good bit about the Instant Shine, Instant Openess, and A314. I know that A314 isn’t really for beginners, but what about the Instant products? Are there more products to consider? I appreciate any and all help. 
Hello and welcome!!
Based on what you said I think you should look into the following:
IS: great for moods and confidence
IO: great for helping people open up
For your age the alternative of A314, IG: Similar to A314, but good for the younger crowd
Ammo, 1 spray. You at 17 produce a lot of sexual pheromones, so you need to be care not to OD. 1 Spay of Ammo will be great for you.
Hi Discospider, welcome to the forum!
MikeMan has made some perfect suggestions for you. Definitely start with Instant Gentleman, which will give you an aura of confident coolness and maturity, without coming off as “old”, lol.
Instant Openness will help with approach anxiety and confidence, it relaxes both you and those around you, conversation will tend to flow much more easily and comfortably.
Instant Shine is a great mood booster, it will give you a happy glow that others will want to be around.
These products also work very well in combinations, though you do need to use them individually at first to get the feel of them and to understand what each one does.
I hope this helps, and just ask if you have any questions! 
Thank you guys so much! I’ll be trying these suggestions out soon and I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!
Happy to help! And Mickaelia should be along in the next day or so to give you your GC, so wait til you get that before you order!
