What Is The Best Piece Of Advice You Could Give A Teenager?

[Gherkins]

Hello, I am doing okay with today's crossword. But, my Granddaughter has asked me for a lifetimes worth of advice so I have decided to ask you helpful folk.

All I could think to say was "Do what you want as long as no one is negatively affected by what you want to do, and try not to get too emotional about things".

How old is your Granddaughter?

[Gherkins]

She shall be 18 this year. She is the eldest of my Grandchildren.

[Mamyalynne]

Don't be afraid of aiming for a very high target, even if you don't quite reach it you'll have fun trying and learn some fabulous lessons and meet great people on the way.

I'd like to wish this young lady well and say she's great for asking for advice.x

treat people as she would like to be treated x

[Canary42]

Never trust a politician.

[Gherkins]

Thank you Mamyalynne. She is a wonderful character. One to be proud of.

[dannyk13]

I agree with Mally and be earnest in all your endeavours.Good luck for the future.

[Mamyalynne]

Just a tip for you Gherkins, a post like this would have been best in the 'Family' topic - it will slide off the page here soon.

But I doubt she needs much help from us, she has you and the rest of her family, she'll do well.x

[Gherkins]

Thank you Dannyk13. She does try her best in all walks of her life.

Enjoy each moment it never comes again, if you love love with your whole heart, and you will find some how you still have more to give. Take time not just to smell the roses but the manure that makes them grow.

[Gherkins]

Thank you Mamyalynne. I shall try to move my question. I have the crossword section bookmarked next to my The New York Times crossword puzzle bookmark so it took me straight here. I forget that there are other categories on this website.

Never be too scared to take up new things and opportunities.

You will never regret trying something, if it doesn't work out then at least you will know, but you will always regret not giving it a go and never knowing.

Don't bear grudges as they turn you into a bitter person.

Someone said to me recently 'Love is like water, if it's there it will find a way' and I think that's absolutely right. I think it's also fairly true of other things, if something is possible you can make it happen, just do it without harming anyone else, and as Mamya said shoot for the moon, the worse that can happen is you don't quite get there.

[Baldric]

Be true to yourself

(always worked for me ;o)

agree with SharonA, don't waste your life on personal feuds, tabloid outrages and so on

[jobjockey]

Make the most of it. enjoy every minute
you turn round twice and it'gone I can't
believe I will be 84 next Friday

[Gherkins]

Thank you to all. I agree with all of these life tips, I must remember to pass them on to her.

If you have the choice to sit it out or dance.. then dance.
Make every moment count and only regret the choices you didn't make and never regret the choices you did make.
