Here are some small things I've learned in the past two years. (age 16-18 is very very revealing)..

1) It's better to be alone than with someone you're not meant to be with, It may hurt a bit to let go of something that gave you comfort. But it's just better.

2) Never assume anything, ever. Not even if someone tells you it's true. Just, no. Never.

3) Love doesn't mean the same to everyone, It isn't the same to everyone.

4) As lame as it sounds, Life -is- what you make of it. But sometimes you're in a position to where you just can't make it better. But never lose the faith, Everyone's day does come and just because it's not the way you hoped for it, doesn't mean you shouldn't take it.

A crude way of saying it is, If you expect to get kicked in the balls and get punched in the gut. That my friends is a victory.

Take this as you may, just a few things I've learned the hard way. And I feel I've grown as a person for these experiences.

I ahve way too many friends that DO assume things around here...Leads to drama, misunderstanding, and worse...fighting.

Sure it gets annoying at times, and udually its me clearing the shit up.

Good advice tho

Heh heh, "never assume, because it makes an ass out of u and me"

Yeah, those are never fun lessons to learn. Took me until last year for some of them to finally sink in for good, but once you learn them life is a lot happier in general.

You know what's funny? The people that need to learn these lessons over and over until it sinks in. I'm only 14. I learned my lessons good, only needed to hit them once.

Everyone should learn these, but depending on thier lifestyles, they might never get the chance. Pity, that's how we get tons of today's citizens.

You're absolutely right. It is "funny" that people need to learn certain things over and over again in order for it to sink in. But it's not easy for everyone, just so you know. I'm going to be 18 years old here in a few months...and I STILL hang on to the assumption, or thought or whatever, that my father will have magically grown up since the last time I see him...and every time it hurts learning that I was wrong yet again. Like today was a lovely fiasco with him...and as pissed off as I am at him, I'm still going to hope that he's grown up somehow the next time I see him.

Anywho...Jin, whether they're something I can go through without learning the hard way myself or not, that was still very well said.

Been there, done that. Now want a girlfriend because I won't get a heartbreak now. Basically, I AM feeling a little... well, I think I saw someone I wouldn't mind as having a girlfriend, it takes time to patch up as an "friend". And that's fine with me... *Look at the Cyber Tech Plus girl, then drool.* What can I say, I like her.

Michel: You know what happened when you assume.
Lorelai: What?
Michel: I don't know, something about the donkey. It is a stupid American phase.

Exactly what Elara said.

I believes that it was Anchorman who basically try to say that but failed so they only sang a song of it. Also, LOVE STINK! Yeah, yeah! (Wedding Singer)

And when it does, I will be there to see Sniffy dying in 4 hours after the love couple rushing their dog to the vet, our REM sleep will make dream about the Nazis which all of them lookl like Nathan Lane, and you are creeped out for days. There're anthrax on my bagel, we are all going to hell, and don't drink water that tasted differently with the cucumber on it, and bam, your life problem is solved with something simple that can be answered by having to sit your ass off.

What? It did happened to me. Beside, as much as having some advice from other, many people are already considering (assuming? ) most of those widely pointless opinion does make the life seem unfair, but what really made life fair is that we are suffering the same stuff, event, and similar story. In short, life is unfair, but everyone else have that too. So that make pretty much every advices you gave should go toward to the younger generation, where they are yet to learn the important stuff in the future.

Beside, having it the hard way is more easier to get the feeling instead of having the easy way. It teaches the hardship and knowledge, rather then having someone to disagree with you on that opinional matter (whether it is a fact or not).
