Ok so..... I like some others around here are going to be finished with secondary school for good in a few weeks. And will have to wake up and live in the real world...... Make our own mistakes and suffer the consequences.

So if you had to give one piece of advice to a leaving cert about the rest of their lives what would it be???

Learn to assess and think for oneself. Don't be lead around mentally like herded sheep.
...And NEVER judge a book by its cover.

Teyla Emmagan

Keep your principles high. Don't do anything that would make you ashamed of yourself.

Shenshen

Don't allow anyone to intimidate you.

Just because people are older and have been around more, doesn't mean they know more.
Stay polite, but stick with what you think is right.

Daroxtar

Don't Eat Yellow Snow

Live life as much as you can and help others and you'll live on after you're gone through these people's memories.

Treat everyone the same, regardless.
Don't fuck people over because it will come back on you.
Don't get drunk and profess your love for anyone.

Stay at home with mammy for as long as possible. She'll shelter you from the big bad world.

EverEvolving

Just remember - some days you'll be the statue and some days you'll be the pigeon.

Be nice to those on the way up as you could very well meet them on the way down.

Don't burn bridges.

Think about what you say before you say it.

Buy high quality stuff now, treat it well and you'll have a valuable antique/collectors item when you get old.

Likewise, plant a tree.

**** or get off the pot!:eek:

Remember that no matter what, you are independent of anything and everything. Don't judge your worth by mere association alone. Don't stress over artificially contrived office politics. Persistence is key.

Ally Dick

Try and get as many people into bed as possible. You'll regret it when you are married if you haven't

These were the two that I would have said... If you don't have your principles, you have nothing IMO.

Kevin Duffy

Don't pass up opportunities, particularily in relationships. It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do and you may run out of chances someday.

rosco p coltrane

Its better to know a little about a lot than a lot about a little.

Don't ever be afraid to ask for a second opinion when it comes to medical concerns.

StudentDad

Make your own decisions - don't let anyone else make them for you no matter how well intentioned - it's your life and you have to live with the consequences of your decisions - good and bad.

If you have people around you that you can trust and rely on when the **** hits the fan - great - if not trust your own instincts and do what's right for you.

SD

Spend less than you earn!

UsernameInUse

Abandon all hope if you get married.
