You have the world by the balls like so many young people who laugh at life and in spite of it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this world is yours for the taking. Take what you want from it, you have no fear and that in and of itself is golden.
Yeah... because that's what pays the bills, laughs and giggles. Why aren't so many more teenagers successful? You want to sugar coat reality? Go for it. But hard work and perseverance is what prevails. Not a free spirit. And if you think telling someone to get a degree is bad advice, what do you call your overly vague and cliche' "You can do whatever you want to do if you put your mind to it" philosophy?
Hate to have to go here....Let's clarify just for the sake of reaity....
Your above comment was directed at me following my shared thoughts to
someone else. Believie me after posting on two older threads of yours, I have no interest in having any discussion with you whatsoever. The stay away from any Ballistic thread box has been checked.
Taking exception to my reponse back to you later based on the chronoglogy of exchanges on this thread is sort of too late, and to be brutally honest, since you inferred this more recently; unless your two kids are in their mid to late 20's, then yes, I do indeed think you don't have the experience to know what its like to raise HS aged children and guide them, suport them, and encourage them. Point being you have to assume the risk when implying you are on equal footing with somone that actually has put the extended years in child rearing and has accomplished the goals in that original plan.
