Do stupid things-flirt with death, enjoy the adrenalin, don't hold your breath, come home with the cops, make your parents jump, run through town naked, make your heart pump. Fall in love at your own speed, don't fall too fast, take pictures, write stories, remember your past. Ask questions, have answers, leave nothing unsaid, leave a legacy, you don't have to die when you're dead. Rebel against the system so people remember your name. Do your own thing, don't be the same. Sleep through class all day because you partied all night. Don't forget your morals, do what's right. Make someone disappointed and someone else proud. Don't sit in the corner, get up and be loud. Don't be silenced or intimidated and definitely don't be scared. Be the life of the party, take every dare. Be alone when you want, don't settle for less. Use the weekends as an escape, relieve all your stress. Everyone has problems so help all the needy, give money to the homeless and don't be greedy. Don't fake who you are, you'll only fool yourself and never make a decision based on someone else. You're never too old to dance in the rain. Don't bottle up your feelings, let go of your pain. Follow your heart but listen to your head too. Don't get good grades for anyone but you. Find something to believe in & don't be ashamed. Be there for your friends and never lay blame. Get wasted, get high, just don't get caught. Don't ever be selfish - respect what you've got. Have sex when you're ready. Don't trust people too much. Cherish your friends, never lose touch. Laugh, smile, cry, scream, shout. All of these things are what the teenage years are about....
