Abel. Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Studying during the summer holidays can be a real help in school, but don't burn yourself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCKSTAR MANIC Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Dont hesitate to express yourself. If you have the opportunity. Do it.. Take Viable Risks.. Don't Think, Act. Thinking is for losers. You think too much or over analyze something will end up with nothing. Obviously make Make Decisions that can help out in anything.

MCMXCII Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Even though you seem to have a clear direction on where you want to go in life, my advice would more then likely be useless to you. My advice would be to stay in school and keep your grades up. I made the mistake of not caring about my grades or school in general. I eventually dropped out of High School in the 9th grade. So yeah, don't ever drop out of school. Since you are about to get into High School, stay in High School and take any class that you can that'll help you with College after you graduate High School.

xoC18H21NO3xo Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 instead of watching TV or playing video games during summer breaks, study anything and everything you can get your hands on. I understood everything you just said, except that. What????????????????? Well, it's go to the mall, beach, friends' homes to swim or smoke weed vs being 35 in your parents' basement. If you make the sacrifice and study instead, you can retire at 35 and spend an entire year playing GTA Online without fear of going into poverty. An Addendum: Mathematics is not an option. Even if you want to be a stripper when you grow up, you don't want to be a dumb one. When I took mathematics seriously for the first time, it was like I had spent my entire life up until that point deaf, blind and totally clueless.

Not trying to be a dick, but do you live with your Mom? I'm just wondering what type of job would accept a high school drop out? Or did you go back to school.

I'm just wondering what type of job would accept a high school drop out? Or did you go back to school. It's okay, I've accepted the fact that I am basically the cliche of a high school dropout lol. Yes I still live with my Mom and no I didn't go back to school. When I went to my state's Department of Human Services, to apply for food stamps, they told me that even though it's not idealy, just about any fast food place would hire anyone regardless if they didn't have a GED or High School Diploma. The guy that I talked to there also said that he has a friend who got a job at McDonalds that now makes more money than he does. Since McDonalds is up the street from me and is hiring, it's the only place that'll hire me since I have yet to get my GED. Once I get a job there and start working, I'll put money to the side to help me get my GED so that I can try and get a better job depending on where I'm at with McDonalds. For all I know, I could end up making more money than what I would if I worked at a job that requires a GED. Right now who knows though. I just want a job to start making my own money so I can work on getting out on my own. Try living with MY mom for 22, soon to be 23, years. How I haven't went insane yet? I have no idea... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Viking Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Advice on girlfriends/women Always show your girlfriend a proper amount of respect. Never insult her, never lie to her, and treat her with all the kindness/love she shows you. If she talks down to you and doesn't treat you well, doesn't respect you, then politely move on. There are a million fish in the sea. Remember that chivalry is not dead, not all females want the "bad boy", and a woman's heart is a tender thing and you will go far. Advice on fighting/conflict You are in school, and kids are cruel. Obviously you want to avoid fights if you can. There is no shame in walking away from a potentially violent situation. Peer pressure is a powerful thing but as long as you know who you are, never mind what anyone thinks of you. Walking away is truly only for the strong willed. If, however, you have a problem with someone...approach them directly in a non-confrontational manner and see if you can work it out. Never talk ill of that person or take to social media to slander their name, and make sure they are alone when you confront them because most people have an ego and the last thing you need is someone trying to be "big" while you are trying to be rational. Also, kill the problem as soon as it arises. You cannot expect most people to offer you the same respects but you can control what you do and you'll be better for it. In general Always keep your word. A man's word is his bond...and people need to be able to trust you. So, if you say you will do something than you do it. No excuses (unless legitimate, use common sense). Don't lie. I'd rather be hated for the truth than loved for a lie. Respect your elders. They are wiser than you are and have been through and done everything you're about to do. They've made their bones in life and you can learn a lot from them. Treat people with all the respect you want in return. Never look down on someone. You have no idea what anyone has been through in their life...and there's a good chance that you couldn't fill their shoes. Respect yourself or no one else will.
