    Dear 12 year old RK,

    There will be an awesome up and coming band forming, Pearl Jam-get a fake ID and go see them as much as you can. (secret tip: you're gonna go see The Ramones-bask in the glory of their awesomeness)

    The friends you have now, won't be the same friends you have later in life-it's okay, it's all a part of growing up.

    Bitchy girls never change, and yes, all the popular girls *do* get fat...and ugly.

    Don't be afraid to speak your mind, people will respect you for that. If they don't they aren't worth your time.

    Don't lose yourself to conformity, be an individual and be proud of it.

    Most guys are nothing but trouble, don't cry over any of them.

    Don't cry over any chick friends either, they can be the worst backstabbers. If they can't respect you, then they never really were a true friend anyway.

    Enjoy your youth, have fun without the responsibility while you still can.

    rock on.



    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    (and so do the blokes) ;);))

    Always listen to your folks because they have the best advice for you.
    Dont have kids too early or too late in life and stick by them but dont let them rule you.
    Spend heaps of time with your grandparents they know everything and you wont have them for very long..
    However if you can escape becoming fat and unhealthy and in the public eye do it because people in life are truly judgmentive no matter how polite they are you need to be suitable or people will eat you alive...
    Dont get blind drunk every weekend and pay for it in mental illness in the future to come..
    Cigarettes are nice and addictive so keep away from them, take a cigar instead if need be..
    If you get a chance to fly take it because there's so much to see.
    ''Prove to your friends you lay your life as a trust for them..and do the same for your wife to be parents..''
    Never look at other girls while on a date with the one your mad about or you will pretty much only score a one night stand..
    Popularity does not make a man, truth, humility and bravery do..
    Its normal to want two or three girls at onces in your age but dont lie you have if you haven't..

    if you think you have a lot of friends, wait until something bad happens. the ones that are there for you then are your real friends. the ones who aren't, are suckas...

    - It's ok to listen advises and opinions but always remember that you are the master of your ship
    - Turn the TV and computer off. There's so much others things you can do.

    I could have said all of the above, and a lot more, but I don't think that at the age of 12 I would have listened to anyone's advice. Especially not given by a grown up... Cause puberty had hit and I was to mature to listen to any advice at all. Life is living in the moment, what you experiebce and the choices you make, determine the person you become...

    steal.

    steal as many things, in as many places, as you can possibly steal.

    it will be the rush of your life and lead to huge things for you down the road.
