What is the best advice you can give to teenagers? - Lemmy.zip

Lemmy

Go to parties, because of course you will, but dont get fucked up on drink and drugs, and keep a small medical kit handy (bandages, steriliser, whatever else).

You can enjoy everyone’s company and you’ll definitely get the chance to be a hero one sesh.

You’re getting downvoted, but every party needs one at least soberish person when shit hits the fan.

  • Former teen who had to clear out the particularly wasted folks and direct emergency services to the party spot when some girl drank too much, rolled off a small cliff, and smacked her head on a rock. Sucked for me, but could’ve sucked much worse (popular line when she’d convulse a little after we got her up was ‘dude, she’s just faking it for attention’. Yeah, maybe - or maybe she just fucking dies surrounded by drunk dicks tossing Axe cans into campfires).
    -Parent of another former teen who, just as begrudgingly, has helped their friends avoid hospitals, jails, and the grave for reasons of adolescent stupidity.
