Dating -

1. Raise your Expectations - I see a lot of people falling into and out of relationships very quickly. I have found that this is typically caused by one or both parties having low expectations

* When you have low expectations often the person you are with is less than you desire, which causes you not too appreciate them as much as you should.

* When you have low expectations it is easier to find 'more attractive' girls and guys who you will be tempted too cheat on your significant other with.

* When you have high expectations you tend too see the person you have chosen too be with in a much brighter light which often causes you too treat them with more dignity and respect than you normally would.

* There is nothing worse than entering a relationship only too learn that your partner has emotional or personal baggage that you aren’t ready too deal with. When you have high expectations you tend to spend more time getting too know the person before rushing into a relationship, so any extra baggage will be either delt with or avoided before the relationship itself even begins.

2. Long Distance Relationships - Suck. They are difficult too maintain and often lead to a more painful breakup should you go down said path.

* Often people who live a long distance away from one another become more 'emotionally attached' to the idea of there significant other, than the actual person themself.

* Relationships are based on many factors, one of which is compatability. It’s easy to be compatable with somebody else over the phone or the internet, it’s another thing too be compatable to deal with them after spending an entire day + together.

* Often things can get blown out of proportion over large distances. What might have been a small issue becomes a catastrophe if neither party is physically present too calm there significant other down and explain the situation. Words are one thing, but they will never replace the comfort offered by a simple hand on the shoulder.

3. Quality over Quantity - You may be young now, but you won’t always be as youthful or good-looking as you are now.

* If you wait too long all the 'good ones' will be gone. In the early 20’s and 30’s a lot of people are getting married and having children.

* Looks fade over time. The fact of the matter is, picking up boys or girls in your 20’s is much easier than it is in your 60’s.

* Dating around will give you a bad reputation. While your friends may think you are cool, those who are looking for serious relationships will pass you by due too the fact that rumors of permiscuous activities tend too spread quickly.

Summary: Spend some time and find the girl that is right for YOU. You may not be the stud who bangs a different girl every night, but you will benifit in the long run with a much healthier and mutually benificial relationship.

Is a part time job at McDonalds worth a shot for a teenager? I have an older friend who’s friends with the manager, he says he could introduce me.

As long as you keep your options open. Never become dependant upon a company, if you get a better job offer somewhere else then take it.

Friendships:

1. You Can Have Too Many Friends

* unlike the common belief you can have too many friends. Basically in the sense that your not going to be friends with everyone and there is no need to. Find a group of people that you get along with and stick with them.

* Always always always have a best friend. Life sucks people. It’s the truth. So make sure you have someone that is closer to you than your family where you are comfortable talking to them about anything. Your going to need them along the ride

* treat other people with respect. As corny as it sounds its best to keep on good terms with people than on bad terms. Then you get a bunch of drama that just ruins everything. Not to mention its just too much work to be mean. Alot easier being nice

2. Dealing With Friend Drama

* drama is bound to happen if you are really tight knit with a best friend or group of friends. Either friends start dating or your group gets at it with another or something like that.

* firstly if there is ever a cross between two friends never take sides. Always stay neutral and help both parties. Taking sides only fuels the fire

* if you ever get into long term arguements with a friend be the better man and apologize. In the long run you’ll benefit the most

* overall drama is the most important thing to avoid cause nothing good comes out of drama. Causes loss of friends, loss of respect, and loss of dignity

3. Hang Onto Them As Long As Possible

* friends will always be the most important thing in your life until you find that special someone. So don’t be so ready to let them go

* but don’t let it get to you when the time comes for them to go. People come and go in your life

* and for that one special best friend try to at least keep in touch




Probably not the best one but yea.

yes i do think respect is the upmost important thing in there,,if u wanna be respeted you realy have to give it,,,but be ware you will not get it from everyone

and as far as friendship is yes you do have to seperate things a little and i think if 2 of your friends are in an argument if you simply say you do not want to take part in it it should be respected,,,you can also say that you respect both so they should respect your decision

Which is why they need guidance from people who have had the unfortunate time of living it.

School
*Highschool doesn’t matter, you can go to a community college no matter what grades you get, and it is cheaper and has better transfer rates into a UC colleges.

*Don’t wear a big back pack, and no rolling back packs

*If possible don’t have a back pack at all

*Friends are more important than school work

Dude, you’re like 17...not exactly old...

Mind you, I have a strong opinion that age has nothing to do with the ability to give good advice.

Hate too refute you Wolfy but the average MVC resident is roughly 14 years old (Assuming you factor in all of the 2 year olds like RTIYS), so I’m about 7 years older than the average person, making me an old fart here.
