Well, im 18 years old, single and i am still going to school.
The situation is like this: i got about 50k $ in stocks and about 10k on the bank account. Now i was thinking of buying bond issues, because i dont like it if all my money is only in stocks. What do u think about it, which ones are safe? |

You're too young to be investing in such passive assets. If you want some extra security, put some cash in a money market fund where you'll earn some interest and have ready access to the money.
The safer the bond, the less interest you'll make In the long run you'll make more in stocks. If you're heavily invested in just a few stocks, you might want to sell them and put some money in a low cost index fund. |
