When someone offers you drugs or alcohol, decline the invitation & walk away. If people give you shit for it, then they're dumb & you're smart. Just remember that.
When you get yelled at by a parent or a teacher, just take it. Do NOT talk back. When you've calmed down from being upset [because being yelled at can upset you], talk to them about the situation & see what's going on.
Just all around do what you're supposed to, stay away from the losers who don't care about themselves, and don't talk back when you're getting into trouble. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
