Tips for a new rider

Hi!So, I just got my driver's license two weeks ago, and on Monday I bought my bike (Honda CG 125).I'm having some trouble riding. Before taking the driver's license course, I had never driven a bicycle, even less a motorcycle till then. It was pretty hard for me to learn, especially with the instructors being as bad as they were.Anyway, some problems I'm having:When starting to go from a stop, I often let the motorcycle die. Sometimes I release the clutch too soon, or I use too much throttle;Parking is a challenge if there isn't much space;Stopping the motorcycle too abruptly and panicking while doing it, then letting the motorcycle die;I lack balance when doing first gear low-speed maneuvers.Trouble shifting down while coming to a stop.Right now I've only driven it two times. When I got her from the dealership and today when I went to work (rush hour, I live in a small city). I'm thinking about avoiding traffic for now and go to a more desert road or drive around a bit more around the neighborhood.Considering my historic and how little I've driven, I might be worrying too much, but sucking at driving sure gives a blow to my confidence.Besides the tips, how long did it take for you guys to feel comfortable riding?Edit: Sorry for any English mistakes, not my mothertongue. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/dzekp3/tips_for_a_new_rider/?utm_source=ifttt
