Things to Learn (:

I've been asked so many questions on my acount because people feel that i am a good advice giver. that's pretty strange, because even sometimes i don't trust myself with the advice i give to me...
not that you should feel alarmed :)

let's start with life skills! :
- be polite. it pays to be polite and to have manners. plus, people will love you more that way.
- try not to hold grudges. i know it's hard, but if it's an honest mistake, let it go. a fight over a crush isn't worth a friendship ended.
- obey your parents. they lived longer than you, hence they know more.
- don't hurt your siblings in any way or form. they are your backbone in the future.
- live every moment like it's your last. don't waste the precious time you have!
- the people who go far in life are the people who dance the rain and play hopscotch, and don't cry over spilled milk.

now, let's go onto friendship:
- guys are whatever. friends are FOREVER!
- following that note, never let a crush get in the way of your friendship. it's not worth it!
- stay true, be you. honesty is the best policy.
- when you have a fight, always be the first to say sorry.
- if something goes crazy wrong, don't let it get the best of you and assume something that probably isn't true. you're friend won't hurt you, so talk it out.
- when your friend needs someone to talk to, listen 75% of the time and talk 25% of the time.
- don't say anything when you are mad. you may end up saying something that you will regret.

next, family life:
- like i said before, listen to your parents!
- and...don't hurt your siblings, no matter how annoying they are!
- your family is your life line. never desert them.
- treasure each moment with your family!
- put your family first before anything!

and finally...love:
- don't change yourself for a someone, it's not worth it! if they don't like you for who you are, then forget it!
- don't fall for someone who is a heck of a lot older than you, because it usually doesn't work out.
- never get together with your best friend's ex, even if they made the first move. that's just low.
- don't be afraid to talk to someone! you'll never know unless you try.
- being practical is a million times better than being smooth.
- when talking to your crush, be sure to use your manners!
- in order for you to be likable right away, listen more than you talk. it will show that you are interested!
- when the time is right and the love is there, you'll know.
- don't rush things, because then you end up with a broken heart.
- when you first start off with the relationship, it's good to be in love, but try not to be too clingy. SPACE, people!
- meet the family and get in with them. your love will love you even more when they see how well you can relate to their mom, talk sports with your dad or play with your annoying little sister.
- there is no 'I' in love, so don't be the one taking on all the burden. equality = healthy :)

so here you go, some things to learn, some things to live by.

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE!
