So, for all you parents of soon to be teenagers, hell for all you parents with newborns, you might want to jot these tidbits down

And my answers will give some on these boards an idea of the kind of teenager I was.

For male students in a Catholic High school

1) Do not get caught reading a porn magazine in biology class by a nun.
2) Do not tell the mother superior it was for extra research
3) Do not operate any kind of business out of your locker (which actually applies to public schools as well) because nuns do not see the experiment in selective market capitalism as a good idea.
>>>> My mother was asked to enroll me in public school not so much for the Hustler in biology but because I was selling smokes, condoms and liquor out of my locker, as well as renting 8mm stag films (yep, this was pre vhs)

For students in ALL high schools
1) on prank day, do not, regardless of how good it sounds, wax the school floors with petroleum jelly.
>>>>do not lock a calf in the principle's office over a weekend with food and water. Even if the floors are not carpeted, the stains and the smell WILL not soon dissipate.
2) Putting tempera paint powder in the girls shower heads may sound like a great idea, but remember hell hath no fury like a teenage girl painted orange (or any other color for that matter, that shit does not wash off.)
3) IF you have a teacher that drives the old school vw bug, it is a very good idea to rent a cherry picker and place said car on the gym roof, providing you leave enough money to rent another one to get it off said roof.
4) It is never a good idea to bark tires in four gears leaving the school parking lot (unless the alternative parking area is relatively close by.)
5) Your school rival's practice field is NOT for turning donuts with your 4x4's. Their principle complains to your principle who tells your coach and you end up running laps in full pads for a week.
6) IF your new teacher (dont matter what class) fresh from college complains about the lack of decent dating prospects, do not send her a 14' dildo with a years supply of batteries as a solution.

Now, I confess to being guilty of all things that dealt with the Catholic school, and I admit I had an ulterior motive. I wanted to play football and the pacifist ass Monk who was the coach said I played to mean and therefore cut me from the team. So it was all part of a scheme to get kicked out, since my sainted Catholic mom was having no part of my voluntarily transferring to a school that could appreciate my skills as a linebacker.

As for the rest, I either helped plan, commit or aided and abetted the carrying out of such things as a part of the conspiracy.

And I knew that the professional tempera paint would stain the skin and not wash off, I just opted to keep that bit of information to myself.

Oh, and one last thing, if you cannot read the worksheet for a chemistry experiment for whatever reason (in my day, they used a mimeograph machine and sometimes they were about as legible as doctor's hand writing or cuneiform) and the result was all the windows in the chemistry lab going away from the building. Thankfully no one was hurt.

I would tell any kids today, that don't let any adults belittle you on what you can do and acheive as a kid.

Anything that an Adult tell you that you are too young to do or too inexperienced to do, prove them wrong. You are never too young or too inexperienced.

EVERYBODY starts from scratch when trying to achieve something. Even adults. And along the way, you will make alot of mistakes which is normal being inexperience. Don't let any adult tell you, "They told you so!" Pick yourself up and keep making it happen.

And when adults try to tell you they are wiser than you just because they got more life experience. Again, don't take it as the bible truth.

It's most of the time not true. Judge their reasoning carefully for yourself. Their experiences may also cloud their judgement.

Like if they had a bad experience, they try to tell you that the same thing could happen to you too, but 99% of the time, it is not true. Different people can attempt the same things and achieve different outcomes.

Don't feel limited by your age. The truth is, the younger you are, the more you want to do something that seem like only possible for adults, it is actually an impressive thing. You make your plan, you execute it, you share it with adults who will listen. There will be those who will be impressed and help you too. And there will be those who will bang you down. Ignore those.

You can do anything at any age.

Don't spit into the wind.
Be kind to people you pass while going up. You'll want them to be kind to you on your way down.

It doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear or house you live in. It will matter that you made a difference to the life of a child.
