1. Try ecstacy atleast once in in your teenage years. Its an awesome experience.
2. Might not be the best advice but not going to college isnt the end of the world and a degree guarantees nothing. I work with people with degrees and one of my co workers has a masters. I make more than all of them. A degree and education are beneficial but dont think having one locks you into financial stability for the rest of your life. Its more about who you know now.
3. When you meet a significant other you really feel you love and when the relationship goes south it isnt the end of the world. Might feel like that at the moment but eventually youll find someone more compatible and better all around. Try not to get too emotionally attached at a young age if youre social.
4. Get a job as soon as you can if you can juggle that and school. I think everyone should work atleast one retail job in their life time. Its one of the best feelings in the world to make your own $ and get that first official check. Plus youll treat retail workers with more respect when you see what they go through everyday with difficult people who have never worked retail in their life.

stop wasting your time on maintaining your "swag" image.
do something productive that you cant buy like aesthetics or street smarts.
never stop learning. whether its books, school or hotwiring cars. if you excercise your brain to always find the best possible answer, youll be the one making !%%* for these avg mongos and making millions when youre older.
get your heart broken early if you want to be alpha.

Professional/Technical school>>>>>>>>MOST 4 yr degrees.
In today's world school cost a lot more than its actually worth. If you cant make at least 70k a yr with your 4 yr degree (Engineering and Nursing are really the only 2, accounting if your lucky) then Id say get specialized in something instead.
Oh and do not trust these women. I repeat DO NOT TRUST THESE WOMEN. The tides have turned and women are out here eating of dudes and taking advantage of them not only in they wallet. We don't call the shots no more. They def have been liberated.

High school is more important than you think. Maintaining at least a solid grade average will make getting into school easier.
Don't get caught up wishing you had what others had. There's always a few cats that just manage to be doin' it even though they only like 17. If your not at that level yet, don't worry. Just enjoy what you have and it'll come in due time with some hard work. You might end up missing things around you trying to catch up to others.
Simping ain't the way. If you can't get her without having to do unreasonable over the top things, then just keep it moving.

I got a ton of girl friends I just chop it up with. Some are my ex's and we keep it cool. They all have said that most if not all of their friends have cheated in a relationship.
And child support.... If you have kids and feel he obligated to pay child support thats cool but please understand that man should have just as many rights with child as you do. Not just weekends and every other holiday. I think its even more important if the kid is a boy. Just wrap it up youngsters and avoid this situation at all cost

do you. and the rest will follow. if what you like happens to be the trend, so be it. if it isn't, who cares.
carpe diem. but that doesn't mean you shouldn't plan for the future.
and I second the multiple posts about never stop learning. learning doesn't stop at school and it def doesn't stop when you graduate. there's always something to learn and something to improve about yourself.

Be well traveled
Be well balanced

Nah not at all. I don't pay child support nor do I have kids so lady's can get it how they live. Young men just need to know women not out here being taken advantage of no more. Don't be naive and end up in a situation you regret cause of a female.
