If you could give one piece of advice to a young'n

What would that be and why do you think that advice is important?

Read as many books as possible. It will expand your vocabulary and you will know a thing or two. The subject isn't important.

Watch less TV. It will dumb you down.

Find some sport you love and practise it a lot. You'll never have stress..or you will be stressed out but it will be easier to get over your moods.

Eat well. I wish someone would've told me this. Enough said. I've had a lifetime of poor food choices..to the point where it affected my health a lot.

What you feel now is not love, it's hormones. Learn to make the difference between love and lust.

..I can think of some more.

Im older and old school in my thinking.

I think young people jump into sex too soon, before a relationship has time to develop. I also think women these days do a disservice to themselves by accepting a FWB arrangement in lieu of what they really want. I feel they should be insulted by such a request and don't understand why they're not.

Therefore, I give advice based on how I was raised. Be a lady and respect yourself, dont give up the goods unless he proves hes worthy of such goods.

Just old fashioned principles from an old fashioned gal.

Put down the gadgets and learn how to live without being dependent on modern technology.

There are any number of scenarios that could render modern technology useless. Knowing how to survive without it will serve you well, and vault you into the top 75th percentile of potential survivors in case of catastrophic circumstances.

At the very least, you'll earn the respect of your elders, and they'll view you as an asset instead of a waste of space and/or liability (moron).

To the next generation:

*smack upside the head*

Quit whining, get off your self-entitled ass and snap out of it!

*brushes hands off and walks away*

My work is done here.

Beating the pussy is not the answer sometimes.

Never hesitate to seek a helping hand.

All advices are bullshits to the core, you will learn from your OWN experiences??_.dare to experiment and get experience from it.

+1 Question everything that doesn't make sense and let the chips fall where they may. Because that's the only way we grow as individuals, by coming to the realization of what is correct and what isn't. In the words of Orlando Battista ( An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.) And knowledge is power. even if you don't necessarily agree with information being presented, knowledge can stil be gleamed by exposing yourself to new ideas and concepts. Because it's through new experiences that we grow as individuals.

It's so hard editing messages on a phone.

Yep, OP. You could take this advice, to not listen to advice, and fall on your ass like so many have that think they're smarter than everyone. Sorta like I have.

Good luck with that. Don't dig the hole too deep.

Keep a good credit score (pay your bills on time etc) and don't get any felonies. The rest is up to you but those 2 things in particular are extra messy to get out of.

Good advice ^^^^

Don't drink the Kool-aid of B $ online or in the real world. Don't ever sacrafice your principles or convictions, in order to make temporary gain $ or gain temporary acceptance. Because at the end of the day you have to look at yourself in the mirror, and own up to the way you've contributed to the world. So stand up for your beliefs and don't pander to others that lack conviction, nothing is worth selling your beliefs out too. Don't change your opinions to suit others, but at the same time realize they have just as much as a right to their opinion as yourself.

I 2nd that. *thumbs up*

--Save a percentage of your salary to savings
(always have a large sum for a rainy day)
--think for yourself, don't fall for propaganda, and manipulating scams. Try and use your brain when it comes to these things.

Work your ass off....
You might as well get used to it.
If your gonna earn anything worthwhile you will have to work your ass off to get it. And, the earlier you start the earlier you can reap the benefits.

Just because "life is about taking risks" doesn't mean you should go making stupid ones. Common sense.
