Hmm, shouldn' 'a' done that.Follow

Was just thinking about things I did way back when, that got me a ticket from the 50, or just in trouble. Figured I'd give a list of advice for young teenagers out there:

1. Don't wear your helmet around your elbow.

2. Never speed past a cop car when it's going 25 mph in a 20 mph speedlimit zone.

3. Don't keep on asking the same cop over and over if he knows he left his lights on in the cop car.

4. If you get caught past curfew with your best friend, don't call him your brother, then realize you two gave him different last names then call him your cousin. (Katie, it's perfectly legal for you to tell the cop your Husband is your brother, but I don't recomend it)

5. It's not a good idea to take blackcats (the illegal firework), light them, and then throw them into sewer gutters.

6. If you're out drinking with buddies, and you see a car coming towards your group that "kind of" looks like a cop car, don't mime out a version of "oh no! the cops are coming!" Cops don't seem to want to believe that somebody would Pantomime "hiding evidence" while a cop car is headed towards them.

7. If live in a town of 5000 people or less, don't say you are from out of town.

8. Don't steal candy from a grocery store after having followed a cute girl around the store while pretending to be shopping for tapons. Especially if you are with a friend that has a bad case of the giggles.

9. Don't stay home "sick" for two weeks because you don't like your 3rd grade teacher, and if you do, don't wait for your parents to see you leave, lock your bike behind a bush, then go home and watch "Feris Beulers day off", occasionaly calling your school using your Mother or Father's voice to say "My Son is feeling sick". Even if you do all of that, don't show up to the GATE program that starts right after school ends and let one of your class-mates see you, no matter how much fun making paper mache masks is.

10. When your parent's friends ask you to get them a beer from the fridge, it doesn't mean they want you to open it and take a couple sips before handing it to them.

That's all I can think of now, but I'm sure there are plenty more. What are some dumb things you all did when you were younger?

Do not take your mom's car out for a spin, when you're 13 and don't know how to operate a manual transmission.

Do not mix Prozac and LSD.

Do not walk down the highway to your high school at 3am wearing a trench-coat over a pellet gun, crowbar, machete, camera and explosive device. If you do and a police cruiser passes, do not keep walking along the highway while the cop turns around and comes for you.

I must have many other examples, but they seem to have been repressed for my own safety.

1. Do not lasso alley cats near fences.
2. Don't throw bottles at friends playing in your yard. Especially glass ones.
3. Don't tell your best friend's mother that your mother thinks she's an idiot.
4. Don't make people cry just to make their eyes change color, even if that color is really neat.
5. Don't put your siblings in the dryer.
6. Don't go swimming at high tide the day after someone drowns.

1. Don't skateboard down a hill with a busy street at the bottom and lacking the knowledge of 'breaking'.
2. Don't write your name in gasoline and light it on fire...in your parent's bedroom.
3. Don't try and hide a broken foot, even if there is a family trip to a water park the next day
4. Don't string the inside of a golf ball across the street and wait for cars

-If you are drinking, make sure you have a somewhat sober buddy to prevent you from throwing the cans at traffic. One of those cars just might be an unmarked police car.

And tack to the end of this the OPPOSITE of any moral opinion Katielynn might suggest, as well as all of AH's exploits with a disclaimer "Do Not Try This At Home" :)

dont bother getting good grades until high school (even then they are optional). if i knew how little my elementary and middle school grades counted (being not at all, assuming they arent low enough to justify holding you back a year) there is *no* way i would have tried for more than D's in all my classes.

drinking at school, as fun and/or stress relieving as it may sound, is not a good idea.

when your girlfriend reminds you that some meaningless anniversary (EX: only 3 days until 4.78 months since we started dating) is coming up and then says "unless you ***** something up" it is *NOT* a good idea for the very next thing to come out of your mouth to be "i think you're fat, <insert best friends name" no matter how funny a joke you think it will be. trust me, it will not be well recieved.

Never steal the car your dad drag races in and take it to the neighboring high school (because that's where your boyfriend goes to school) to show off by burning rubber down the main road, forcing older women into the ditch.

I had my fair share of stupid things.

1. Never keep a secret from your best friend when his girlfriend confesses to you that she's cheating on him.

2. If your friend likes wrestling, do not let him get drunk and attempt to do wrestling moves that involve landing on the back of your neck. Like the Magistral pin.

3. If you fall in love with someone, don't block out your family and friends. And if they tell you, "She's not right for you" or "She's a piece of crap" or "She told me she likes me" then its a 90% chance they are right.

4. Do not allow MMORPG consume your life. Or you money.

5. Never spit in the wind.

6. If you got kicked in the balls, don't rub Icey Hot on them.

7. If you begin to shake after drinking alot of Jack and coke, that means you got alcohol poisening.Thankfully I had mine with diet pepsi twist. It was easier to have reason to vomit.

8. Never Agree to paying rent if the roomate's girlfriend lives there for free. For reasons unknown, you get less privalages and rights.

9. Never play a paper based RPG when one of the players are dating the DM or GM. More often or not they get more XP or uber items. In some cases they are your roomate's girlfriend too, so you are not aloud to complain or you'd get nerfed or have to get shafted.

10. Never take things for granted, and always cherish each second of your life and the lives of those around you.

That's pretty much it. Have a happy new year cause thi year will be fun and great for everyone!

1. Never, even in the interest of "science", take a large quantity of over the counter drugs just to see what it will do to you. Especially caffine pills. Ugh.

2. Never get married just because it seems like the next logical step in the relationship.

3. Don't finally tell your mother you're a lesbian just to take her attention away from the fact that you stayed out all night.

4. Climbing over barb wire topped fences when it's dark and you're drunk = not a good idea.

Hmm.. Wish I thought of that one.

Actually, my mom was probably too lenient when it came to staying out. I'd have to call her to let her know if I'm staying the night, and if I wasn't going to stay the night, I'd have to be home by 3am or so.
