Use a password manager Eg. KeyPass. Use F-droid instead of appstore when I can. Use DNS encryption always and use the tor network when browsing the internet. Use open source software that you trust. And if you really value your privacy use Linux.
Allso disconnect social media from your real life. Use a burner email to sign up to sketchy services. Don’t forget to log out of you account when on a school/work/unknown device.
More generally be interested in cyber security and you will become safer.
10 minute burner emails are such a godsend.
