Life is not fair. Get use to it.

The real world doesn't care about your self-esteem as much as your teachers.

You'll never make $40,000 a year right out of high school.

Flipping burgers is not beneath you.

It's not your parent's fault if you screw up.

In some schools, you're given as many times as you want to get the answer right. Standards are set low enough so everyone can meet them. This, of course, bears not the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.

ATTN: All teenagers
RE: Grammar

"Ad" is incorrect when referring to "something additional." Please use "add," the proper spelling of the word, when in the 'real world.'

Stop being arogant and trying to pick fights when you are with a few of your friends... I will kick your @ss with or without your friends next to you.

I'm glad this list that's been floating around the internet for probably at least 5 years is getting shorter, it used to have a lot more whining on it.

Life isn't fair.... which means you can end up with a lot more success than other people.

The real world doesn't care about your self-esteem.... but you should probably have some anyway.

You'll never make $40,000 a year right out of high school.... so wait 4 years and make more than $40,000 right out of college.

Flipping burgers is not beneath you.... but then again, neither is having a better job.

It's not your parent's fault if you screw up.... and therefore your parent's don't get any of the credit for your success. So don't thank them when you get your Oscar.

In some schools, you're given as many times as you want to get the answer right. Standards are set low enough so everyone can meet them. This, of course, bears not the slightest resemblance to anything in real life..... can't argue. Schools sucks. I've gone to good schools, I just hated them.


I will give this one piece of advice. Posting online in forums is a really, really, really big waste of time.

Another piece of advice. No matter how mature you actuatlly think you are. Your not.
Maturity comes with experience. And experience comes with time.


Just as a note. Just because your car can actually make it above 100 without a problem,
doesn't mean 100 mph isn't fast.

Spamela's words of wisdom:

you don't know a thing, but you don't know it.

you aren't important to most people.

your friends & classmates are going to start dying immediately after high school.

you won't look like (insert movie star name here) when you get old.

your body will start the slow process of falling apart at age 35,
sooner & faster if you drink heavily or do drugs.

your parents probably care more about you than your friends.

money doesn't bring happiness.

HotChic, you're right. But I was on a mission of positive thinking. The job market does suck. I blame the teenagers.

Nor That it will stop sufficiently quickly at that speed

With grammar and spelling like that, you're going to have a long wait until you get that first job!

Treat anyone and everything the way you want to be treated.

Death is the only one thing that is guaranteed in life, plan your life accordingly.

Do not allow others to define you, know that your self image comes from inside out.

IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD BABIES DON'T HAVE SEX

IF YOU ARE TOO EMBARRASSED TO BUY CONDOMS, AND YOU HAVE YOUR FRIENDS DO IT FOR YOU, THEN YOU ARE TOO IMMATURE TO HAVE SEX.

NO MATTER HOW HOT HE/SHE IS THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE SOMEWHERE THAT IS SICK OF HIS/HER SH!T.
