Hello Goughyy,

To become a Buddhist do we have to give up some things in our life?

We have to give up clinging and craving; the illusion of a self.

Meditate nearly every waking second a day? For meditation the best is to look for personal instruction, attending a teacher with a group of practitioners.

If a teacher is not available give a look at the Study Links section where are some resources to get started with meditation.

Explore meditation and, after exploring it, sit any time you feel you need to do it until it becomes an important aspect of the practice.

How is one fully a Buddhist? When one follows the instructions given by Buddha with absolute confidence.
