Of course there are exceptions to everything, and some teenagers have the maturity to know when to listen to advice.<br /><br />Not many, but some. Keep listening to your mom, she's been around the block or two, made some mistakes and doesn't want you to repeat them. I did not listen to my parents as often as I should have, and made plenty of mistakes that, had I taken their advice, I could have avoided.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-75099266446833942822013-01-08T14:55:42.208-08:002013-01-08T14:55:42.208-08:00Fredd,

What made me want to post was the fact that you said teens don't listen to what the adults in their lives have to say, I disagree, though I do know where you are coming from. Alot of teens will only nod their heads to what their parents are saying to make them shut up (Most of my friends do this), but some of us do take what they have to say to heart. My mom and I are very close, and she talks to me all the time about this stuff. I think the difference is I respect my mother, we protect each other, and while I listen to what she says she also listens to me. It has to be a two way street. <br />Also I wanted to thank you for posting this it did bring something to my mind for writing that was complelety obvious, but I wouldn't have thought about it without reading this blog, so thanks. Happy new year! <br /><br />(Also with my name, I swear I'm not emo or anything like that, it's just a pin name I've been writing under for 3 years now)Embers Of Painnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-73050971841995265752012-12-29T17:10:53.400-08:002012-12-29T17:10:53.400-08:00Ok Fredd, Dagnabit, I admit it.

Well, Ok, He...Can't get by you is right Fredd.<br /><br />Well, Ok, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqK97av7I3s" rel="nofollow">Here is the theme song for 2013 thru at least 2016</a><br /><br />On Smoking. I started at 10. Folks smoked, most people smoked. Everyone I saw on TV who was cool smoked. And I grew up in a steel mill town. The Whole Town Smoked!<br /><br />I finally quit after 42 years. And it as simple. Used the patch for 6 weeks never looked back.<br /><br />Now I wonder all the relationships that might have been if I weren't a smoker. That goes both ways of course, but as I pass people in the store or wherever now, I sure notice the unpleasant odor.<br /><br />It's not worth anything and considering the expense these days, and you know obammycare is going to hit you up for smoking because the rest of the country on socialized medicine will demand it, (another thing to divide us btw) I can't imagine why anyone would be smoking these days. Free country tho.

Never did anything stronger than weed (though without my knowledge a few times it was cut with something else- not fun), but I am convinced it ruined my once photographic memory. And I have chunks of my life I have no recollection of. I try to tell this to kids I meet, but you're right they have to learn by their woeful selves. Gave up all of that in college. ciggies took a little longer to cut.<br /><br />Great advice, though.
