That's why I think young people come up with such good ideas. They're just as wise, but more foolish at the same time.

And, there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm not hating on older folks--but we fuck things up more than we solve them. I really don't think we're any kind of moral or knowleagable compass for younger folks to overrely on.

I tend to give out advice in song lyrics. Back when my nephew was 13 and obsessed with name brand clothes, I busted out "Sometimes the clothes do not make the man." I got the eye roll but I know one day he'll understand what George Michael and crazy Aunt Julie were talking about.

I'd say

"stay away from responsibilities"

or/and

"don't believe the hype"

"we're just the sum of our successes and mistakes"

OMG! I was just singing that today on the treadmill. I listened to that song about 10 times in a row.

I rarely give advice, not unless someone cames straight out and asks me for it.

I know that I am only human and what might work for me, might not work for someone else.

Regret the things you do, not the things you don't.

"Whatever you do, don't hurt yourself."

BECAUSE I SAY SO

vist the woods, there you will find reality"

never trust other peoples advice

Agreed. But sometimes righteousness at any age can change your truth into something less than true.

I would sit that young person down, sternly look 'em in the eye & say "Since you're so impressible, there are gonna be alotta people who're gonna try & tell what they think the truth is. But I'm here to tell you that based on the relativity that rules the reality in we which we all exist, the only true truth is that there is not a single human being on this planet that holds a monopoly on the truth....
ya fuckin' little wii-addicted, attention-span-impaired, single-parented bastard, bitch or ho."

Dude. Crack is wack. Don't rock the rocks. Put the pipe down.

Awwww. That sucks. My niece and nephew have been mostly very receptive to what I've had to say. Particularly my constant insistance that they use/have condoms if they're going to have sex from the time they were old enough to know what that meant. I think it made it much easier for my Sister to talk to them about sex related subjects, too. I just don't play with that shit. Kids need to know. You can die, or have babies, which pretty much takes away your life (even if you love them and all that shit ), or you can get condoms for FREE (without your parents even knowing) and at least try to avoid all that.

As my niece has gotten older she doesn't accept my advice as easily, and she certainly doesn't ask for it anymore. But she just turned 18, so I get that. My nephew will come and ask me about shit, though. And we talk about music on at least a weekly basis, which warms my cold black heart.

ThisOne said:

Use condoms.

Be your own person.

Be confident in the person you've chosen to be.

If you love something, give it your all. Don't let other people's opinions sway you from something that brings you happiness.

Don't drink and do drugs now. Wait until you're old enough to know what the hell you're doing. Which I've talked to my nephew about a lot. I've never told them (my niece and nephew) "don't do drugs". Instead, we talked about everything I'd done and I explained to them that my biggest regret was not waiting until I was an adult to make those decisions. Because, honestly, the times I partied as an adult, AFTER I was out of school and my Moms house, were some of the best times I ever had. The times during high school when I did that shit was a waste of time from which I took absolutely NOTHING of value. (For the record, my niece is a goody-two-shows. She doesn't party at all. My nephew started down a bad path, but he turned himself around very nicely this year (his Junior year in high school)).

Finish high school on time and take everything from it that you can. It's one of the few things in life that will ever be free (and maybe it won't be forever, who knows).

That kind of shit. I have a younger nephew (just turned 8) and once he's grown I doubt I'll be giving much advice. It sounds shitty, but I don't actually care what other people do. Family? I care about them.
