Don't cling to the first love. Experience all types of people. Learn from and enjoy them. There is no one belief, religion or teaching. There are many, read and study them before making judgments. Learn what respect and responsibility really mean. Don't do drugs and go on the Pill. Don't blame friends, parents or teachers for your bad decisions. Remember that you are in charge of you. No one else. And tell yourself every single day that you are smart, beautiful and freaking fabulous. Because it's true!TJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-83064292006171540812013-04-13T08:24:25.413-07:002013-04-13T08:24:25.413-07:00Don't listen to those who tell you that you ca...Don't listen to those who tell you that you can't do that,because you can.<br />great list great adviceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470169043998812328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-34935388968198204392013-04-13T06:12:50.943-07:002013-04-13T06:12:50.943-07:00I would add: "Don't let the bastards get ...I would add: "Don't let the bastards get you down."

I think telling your daughter to know who she is, is the most important thing you could do for her. I still don't know a lot of these things, but am going to channel you as my inner second Mom whenever I get insecure. Thanks so much for this, could not have needed it more.

I'm 45 now, and if I could give that freckle-faced, braces wearing, glasses needing, pimple popping kid (me) a nugget of wisdom or two, I'd have to start by saying that at 45 you'll look back on life and realize that you really only have one true regret...the rest of the unfortunate events you'll go through are simply life lessons that are best learned the hard way, and they'll only help you become the husband/daddy/man you will one day be. <br /><br />So don't sweat it. Keep treating others with the respect they deserve, crack open a book from time to time, listen to mom & dad a little more...and DON'T quit the baseball team.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321557716090614020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-35995564666692397892013-04-11T17:55:53.823-07:002013-04-11T17:55:53.823-07:00So funny about my outfit.

Don't judge others for how they live their lives, unless you've been in their exact shoes or they're obviously doing something to hurt themselves or others. Let go of arbitrary expectations of how life "should be."
