[Nicf]

[tobbogonist]

best advice given to me by person: everybody else has the same insecurities as you.

Yoda: Do, or do not, there is no try.

[brendon557]

my mom taught me the golden rule when i was litle

Do unto other as you would have them do unto you,

this has stuck with me since then, which is why i always try to not talk bad about people and when i hear people being talked about in groups of people i always try to defend that person, and i always try to be nice to people,

like theres only 2 people in my hole life that ive met which i dont like that i can remeber, This is probally why im frends with almost everyone at my skool whether its skaters, jocks, stoners, or anyone else . I get along with all of them mostly

[sugarloafur]

You're unique... just like everyone else.

[vanpaun]

unicycling is retarded :D

[MuniAddict]

Best advice? Don't worry about getting older. Age is only a matter of mind; if you don't mind, it doesn't matter!:cool:

[yoopers]

like theres only 2 people in my hole life
I've always wondered where you lived.

[tomblackwood]

Never add ice or mixers to single malt Scotch.

[Monkeyboy13]

[vanpaun]

Don't smoke

I wouldn't do that

Look out!

Duck!

No, I'm just poking a bit of fun at you for living in a hole. Just kiddin' around.

(hole vs. whole)

[harper]

Find weak people and take stuff from them.

[BillyTheMountain]

Never add ice or mixers to single malt Scotch.

A wisp of water brings out the flavor of your Irish whiskey.





Scotch is just watered down Irish whiskey

You know, like so many others on this forum I've always accepted everything you say as well-informed gospel, but now you're just talking malarky.

[UniBrier]

Don't take any wooden nickels.

[Jethro]

Never add ice or mixers to single malt Scotch.

This is a crime in some places.

I remember some old TV sitcom where the girl went to her granddad for some Sage Advice and his advice was "Keep yer pants on." Through the years, I have come to appreciate the wisdom of that advice more and more.

I wasn't referring to...never mind.

[GILD]

Only one person can untangle a rope.

Always take your socks off before you take your pants off.
There are few things that look as silly as a man wearing only a shirt and his socks.

Never race the train to the railway crossing.
If it's a tie, you lose.

[UniBrier]

2. never eat yellow snowOft remembered through this mnemonic:

"Don't eat the snow where the Huskies go!"

[1-wheeled-grape]

1.dont think do
2.dont smoke
3.treat others how you want to be treated
4.pay attention in school and you might get somewhere you want to go.

[harper]

You go through life and you choose.

[UniBrier]

You don't choose your friends; your friends choose you.

[johnfoss]

Never race the train to the railway crossing.
If it's a tie, you lose.That reminds me of a good one for driving:

Right-of-way or no, the truck always wins.

(Optional add-on: Unless there's a train involved)

[Into the blue]

Never walk down stairs with your hands in your pockets.
Never pass up the opportunity to take a p*ss.
Never argue with a man with a pool cue in his hands.

[lpounds]

unicycling is retarded :D
You say 'retarded' a lot. To me it is pretty offensive and blatantly politically incorrect.

[Triball]

Nothing in this world, that's worth having, comes easy.

Scrubs can be so motivational (the older seasons at least).

[Mikefule]

When it's reached the stage that something must be said, that's the wrong time to say it.

[Gadge]

Never follow advice from Mikefule, oops I just did ... :)

[brendon557]

mix coke and beer! worst!

Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

you're drinking beer, and you're sixteen.....

you're drinking beer, and you're sixteen.....
Probably has/had a fake ID. :p

Best advice i've ever heard is: If you believe, then you will achieve, If you achieve then you are destined to succeed.

[1wheelwonder]

the best advice would be, 'hey check out unicyclist community!'

[tomblackwood]

More wisdom from Robert A. Heinlein: "A pessimist is right more often, but an optimist has more fun." I prefer fun.

[Monkeyboy13]

here's a yo yo and a unicycle, learn some tricks to entertain us.:D

[peleschramm]

you're drinking beer, and you're sixteen.....
ah... just wait till you get into high school...

Probably around 95% of people in my school drink... (well... on occasion)

I too when I was 11 thought that it was completely ridiculous, but the world just isn't how one sees it at such a age.

[heelnipper]

don't tell me no lies and keep yo hands to yo'self

borrow money from a pessimest... they don't expect to get it back.

IRS: We've got what it takes to take what you got!!!

Never happened for me. Out the 55 some-odd friends I have from school, I'd say maybe 2 or 3 drink regularly. I hate those generalizations people make about high schoolers.

[uni57]

1. If it's not worth doing well, it's not worth doing at all.

2. The sooner you fall behind, the more time you will have to catch up.

3. JC is the only main man. There can be no other.

[1wheelwonder]

what mummy doesn't know can't hurt her!

[AlanChambers]

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If you think honesty is the best policy, try telling your friends what you really think of their kids, or agreeing with your wife that her bum does, in fact, look big in this.


Al

[theSCO]

you don't get old....you only forget how to have fun :D

[Naomi]

You can have just as much fun, maybe more, watching others get drunk.
...but if you are the one doing the sober drive home, make sure it is not in your own car.

If you can't do it why try, if you can, why bother.


But more seriously:

If you think now that it is not worth listening to the teacher in school, you will probably change your mind very dramatically once it is too late.

Are you serious?

Do you go to a private school?

Do you chill with all the Straight-As or what?

I meant on occasion like have been drunk before... and are willing to get drunk again sometime prior to being 21.

I guess Sammamish is just filled with a bunch of bored rich kids with nothing else to do.

[Triball]

I would say I know one person from our high school that doesn't drink (our school consists mostly of minors).

[kington99]

I did go to a private school, i did hang out with straight A students, and every single one of them drinks, as do virtually all my university friends.

[peleschramm]

well, Im sure there are some private schools that are pretty dry, and anyways, you are in a different country. The drinking age here is 21... and society is different.

[critter]

YOU ARE what you EAT,,,,SAY,,,,, and DO.


ALSO: Don't worry about the things you can't change;
Have the courage to help the things that can be change;
Get the knowledge to know the difference!

[maestro8]

Right thoughts,
right speech,
right action.

It's a translation of a buddhist mantra that is meant to remind us: think only "good" thoughts and speak only "good" words, and a virtuous life will follow.

Nope, go to a public school.

We all see no point in it, we have plenty of fun without alcohol. Plus, at least for me, it's just plain stupid to go against my parents' wishes (obviously they don't want me to drink). They give me a home and food and let me survive, and I go disobey them for no reason? Yeah, real mature on my part. :rolleyes: That's why I don't do it.

Edit: Probly should point out, if it makes a difference, I do roll with all the higher ranked kids...full IB kids in my case. We're not straight-As, just cause anyone who could make straight-As in IB is akin to a god.

Oh and I meant drink occasionally, too...most of my close friends never do, me included. I've tasted a variety of alcohols under my parents' discretion, and only been pleased with a few of them, so I save it for when I'm with family and for special occasions.

[peleschramm]

Yeah, I tend not to really do it either. much

[oneisenough]

same here. Although MOST kids in my school do, and thats why i don't have many friends in my school and have friends all over from my other interests




ADVICE---Nothing is free.

[unisteve]

Give it time.

[dudewithasock]

Give it time.

If you're talking to me, I'm the same age as you, gonna be 19 in a few months (wow, didn't realize it was so close...). I've seen the horribly adverse effects of alcohol on those very close to me. I think I'll be fine.

[brendon557]

Are you serious?

Do you go to a private school?

.
that shudlnt mater a hole lot, i know peoplewho go to private skools and they all drink and smoke and they say a good amount of kids there do it to, its just like private except it cost money andthey teach god

[GILD]

But do they teach English?

[yoopers]

C'mon, Dave. It's an improvement at least. He did use two commas in his post.

Fair enough, but I was just sharing a piece of advice I've received many times. My mom always thought I was too impatient.

[critter]

It's really good

[harper]

It's OK. Your mom won't find out. All the kids are doing it.

[thejdw]

Dont be silly, wrap your willy
