All adults want to give advice. On everything. All the time.
As a teenager all I seem to get is advice, so much that I have started tuning
out when adults give me the same advice over something it seems I have heard a
million times. I know that adults are really trying to help and are being
sincere in their thoughts so sometimes I do try listen and sometime I do learn
something. The one piece of advice that I will always remember is something my
7th grade social studies teacher at SCAPA told me- "Be nice to everyone
because you don't know what kind of battle they are fighting." I don’t know
why this resonated with me but it did. After that whenever I was considering
saying that wasn’t the nicest, I would consider what kind of situation the
person might be going through. I found if I did this that I was generally a
nicer and happier person. Even though I don’t listen to many adults, for once I
did and it paid off.
