The MTB community is a very friendly one. However, grammar, punctuation and decent sentence structure go a long way to making posts readable. It's often easy for the written format to be misread, so decently structured posts go a long way in avoiding that. If you don't want to be treated like a dick, please don't write like one. :smile:
Now that's out of the way, Wombat is on it. Shorten the cables for a start; you don't need enough slack to be able to spin the bars all the way around. 90 degrees either side of centre is plenty. Many bikes (should) come with a sheet of clear protective stickers, however a lot of the sticker sheets don't get out of the bike shop. If you ask your local nicely, they might be able to give you one. The individual stickers come in a range of shapes & sizes; pick the ones most suitable & put them on the frame in the wear areas. The rubber pads that ChopSticks pictured should also be pretty easy & inexpensive to pick up from your local.
