Re:"youth is wasted on the young" (Score 1)

I agree. Even if someone had told me all this information when I was coming out of high schoool I would have probably blown it off until I came around to realize these same ideas. Perhaps slowly with advice being hammered into our head we may start to accept some of it as truth without having to prove to ourselves the follies of the choices we make. My example, Your mother told you the stove was hot. Did you listen? Probably not. Then once you touched the stove you realized, hey that was pretty hot! I shouldn't touch that!
