Doug	Guess, That at 80,years young, I would only have this to say. We are here for others who need our help. Even the Son of God came as a servant to mankind. And my only regret is that it took me a whole life time to see that. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BPCB	Understand that you are in charge of your life. Your future depends on what you do today. Your actions of today may be painful regrets you'll carry throughout the rest of your tomorrows. What you put out into the world comes back to you. Be optimistic about life and good things will come your way. Enjoy the people in your life today because tomorrow they may not be here. Enjoy your youth, don't create years of regrets for your future. Oh yea, and don't take candy from strangers. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jon	That's really great that you realize that all you need to do is to be yourself. Seriously, that's like half of what you need to know in order to live happy. The other half you'll learn on your own. I'll give you this advice. Don't let others get you and don't let what they think about you bring you down. Not everyone is cold. There are nice people. You just have to look for them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Eric H	The best advice I can give you is this; 1. However insurmountable the problems you face in the next few years seem, you WILL get through them. 2. This is the toughest time of your life. Someone has essentially ripped up the instruction manual that tells you how you operate and you have to write a new manual while you're not sure how you DO work yet. 3. Cut yourself some slack when you make mistakes. Making mistakes is how human beings learn. In 5 years, nobody will remember your mistakes. 4. Be easy on your parents. They don't understand the new you any better than you do and they're more terrified than you are that you'll make a major mistake. They'll tend to err on the side of caution when you want to take a chance - they're doing that because they remember the adventurous kids that DIDN'T survive their teenage years. 5. Try not to make any mistakes that will permanently scar you or kill you. No drugs, do drinking yourself stupid, no drunk driving, stay in school. You can correct most of the other mistakes you make later, but these are the biggies. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gotta luv da Li	Living is the journey. If the satisfaction of achieving a goal far out weighs the road to it, stop and ask yourself why. Your life may be out of balance. If you hate doing something, ask yourself if it is the thing that you hate, or something that the thing represents. If it represents something, work that through. If it's the thing, then do something else. This is a big one when it comes to careers. Too many ppl get trapped in jobs they hate and are miserable forever. Quality of life is always leaps and bounds more important than quality of possessions. Be kind and supportive, love those you love, but do not try to save ppl from themselves. You cannot succeed anymore than they can succeed in saving you. Some things you have to want for yourself. Trying otherwise is an unhealthy relationship called codependence. Never take yourself toooo seriously, and always cut yourself slack when you screw up. The world will not end, the sky will not fall. Plans might change, but life goes on and you learn. Every day for the rest of your life do one small nice thing for yourself be it a bubble bath, a cup of tea/juice/coffee on the stoop, smell a flower, whatever. Remember to do that when you are 20, 30, 40.... Always be responsible for your decisions and actions. If you have mental health issues, don't be afraid to seek help. Pride is a foolish thing to stand in the way of living. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

necole suzanne =)	Don't sweat the small things in life, stay happy. Don't fall into peer pressure. Not everyone drinks and gets high in highschool, take me for example. I don't drink because I can't stand the taste. I have fun at parties by being smart and being myself. Watchinig people act stupid while intoxicated can be funny. But everyone is laughing at them, not with them. And smelling like vomit for a whole night is really unattractive. =/ Enjoy the best years of your life while you're still young and active. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

RAE-J	I don't really wish there was something someone would/could have told me, I just wish my mother would have been around more. To guide me better, and keep me from making the stupid choices I made. I guess my advice to you, would be.....Don't take for granted, the time you have that you can be spending with your mom. Even if it's just talking about stupid stuff. It will later be the moments in life you remember best, and cherish the most. I don't have those moments to cherish OR remember. I have memories of her telling me to leave her the hell alone cuz she's too busy. I'd much rather be remembering things like "so, how was your day". Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Karen S	Don't worry about what ppl think of you especially if they just judge you by your clothing. Be yourself and no one else because in 10 years those ppl aren't gonna mean a thing to you anymore and you will laugh that you once cared so much what they thought. Its hard but try not to fall into the peer pressure. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

leafs_freak	Eat a healthy diet! I know this probably isn't a concern to you right now, but with all the health risks out there, a healthy diet and exericise is key to a long, healthy life! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

misty b	I know how important it is to be popular and have all the name brand stuff. This is what I told my daughter. You are in school for such a little while. That stuff seems so important now, but once your out, all that popularity and teasing won't mean much anymore. Everyone wants to fit in, but after it's over, you are going to wander why that was so important. Because it's really not. You have to make everyday count. Because every decision you make, even if it doesn't seem like much now, it really will affect you the rest of your life. Always be yourself. Then people will respect you and most importantly you will respect yourself. I promise Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Elecia F	I wish I got more involved in school activities ie sports, yearbook, prom committee etc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

combackkidxxx	you gotta rise above the rest because if you start to slip like all the other kids with their pot and alcohol, you're nothing but a lost cause. but if you don't do it...you're truly an amazing person, you rose above and your true colors were so bright you blinded the stars up in the night sky. my uncle told me that one...i am bipolar and have ADHD, during the time i wasn't on meds for my ADHD[stopped taking them for some reason] it made the BP 2 times worse and i just kept slippnig and slipping started drinking and all that because i was just getting so manic....and when i finally got into recovery, he came over and he told me that. that was a year and 1 month ago, i will ALWAYS remember that. i memorized that...i guess it's my photographic memory, but what he said really helped....and i hope it helps you. don't ever give in to drinking or smoking. don't start having sex until you're ready/mature enough and in love...try your damn hardest to succeed and NEVER let yourself fall down. when i was developing BP and decided to go off of Adderall when i was 15, i made my freshman year a living nightmare and if i could i'd build a time machine and go back...i didn't even know itd be so hard without my medicine... so that's what i wish i knew when i was 15....but i'm 17 now. and i'm still facing the consequences of screwing up...by having to work my *** off 10 times harder and make up the lost credits. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jeffrey R	Pain and sorrow is part of life. It can seem to last an eternity (sometimes it seems longer), but every little thing that goes right or wrong leads to something (looking back on) that you wouldn't have wanted to do without (the butterfly effect). Don't get a credit card, stay at home and save money to purchase a home and land (don't move out right away). Homes typically increase in value over time while vehicles only ever lose value (ie. it is smarter to save for a home than a car). You will be a lot "cooler" for a lot longer if you do smart things rather than "cool" things. Fall in love and get your heart broken so you truly understand what love is and its value. Stand up for what you believe in, BUT way the worth of that belief against the consequences of standing for it. A TRUE friend is a rare thing. Most of those you consider a friend are nothing near the sort. Learn the laws, know them, and exercise them. Authority does not always tell the truth, and it gains most of its power through your lack of knowledge. Our society is based on marketing; everything in it is. What you are told, what you see, even what you are taught is designed to make you a good little consumer (google scientific management). You will only ever be as free as you are willing to fight for. Put at least $20 a week in a savings account from the day you begin working. DO not ever touch it until you retire. Keep up on the current events (political, legal, and financial) and "plan ahead". If someone hits you (figuratively or literally), hit them back harder so that they are too afraid to ever hit you again. However, use your brains over your braun, and work within the law. The second you think you are awesome, you are about to get a lesson in humilaty. Lastly, stay young at heart for as long as possible because it goes away from you in half the time you had to experience it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Smartassawhip	God is real and He loves you. He wants you to be happy in this life and in Heaven after your body dies. He wrote a book, the Bible, that is an instruction book on how to be happy and how to get to Heaven. Some people think The Bible is old fashioned and doesn't apply any more or that it is just made up stuff and a lie. People who think those things will have to endure the same things I did before I came to see that the Bible is true. They will have to endure much emotional suffering and heartbreak because of making mistakes in life that the Bible clearly says that we are not supposed to do. As someone else said, don't put off having a close relationship with God until you are older. Living the Bible is the best thing we can do but it is not easy. We need to start young while we are strong enough to develope good habits. God bless you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

theamericanmissionary	The first thing I would do is Pray in the name Of Jesus Christ and get my life going in a direction that would have everlasting results that would be good for you after this life. Give your life to the life of Christ now while you have your youth. If you wait till you are fifty like me or so you will find you wasted an awful lot of good health and time on things that don't count when you have to die or face death. That is the most important thing you will ever do and the thing that will take the most guts. Sincerely, theamericanmissionary Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Half Price Haircuts Customer	If it is at all possible go to college after you graduate high school. I thought I didn't need it so I just worked.
