Fraz us right, he wants for not. He plays guitar, has been around the world a few times ( but not to Disney world) We’d rather show our kids the real deal than take them to some fake version of it. He is a certified soccer referee, so no allowance here, he buys his own stuff, and has a 3.5 GPA. We expect excellence not perfection. Honesty and accountablity are huge in our home. We parent the “old fashioned way”.

He will have hundreds of friends during his lifetime, but only one mom and dad-who, for the next few years, he will most likely come to despise. While sulking in his room, perhaps he’ll glance through this book and some random nugget will resonate with him. I’ll never know. It’s a helluva lot better than some bullshit “purpose driven life” or “how to talk with your parents” book, that kids are given these days. So, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You to all who have chimed in. Sarbal

Don’t burn a bridge as you may need to cross it again later on down the road.

Trust your intuition and feelings when decision making. If you make a mistake, log the feeling and use it when youre put in a similar situation in the future.

Worry about others feelings but don’t harp on them. Yours really are the most important.

It’s not gonna matter how “popular” you are in High School.

All the “popular” kids from my HS back in Philly now are exotic dancers, have 3 kids, or work at Wal-Mart.

I didn’t go to the prom, had bad social skills, and girls didn’t like me – and, ten years later, I received 11% of the vote in Pasadena and am its Most Electrifying Man.

The Proc says high school is its own dimension:
