spent some time recently just reading over a few of my fellow classmates blogs and realized that i was missing one post. so here, it is the delayed parental advice from the perspective of an 18 year old guy. not to undermine the opinion of anyone based on age, but moreso the lack of experience in a particular field, as i have no children as of yet. but i guess my best advice to give, speaking from my experience as "the child" and my attempts to entertain the perspectives of my parents here after... would be to tell/ advise them of whats best but to ultimately let them do what they want to (as long as the repercussions aren't all too great: death, long term imprisonment, assassination). its through these "learning the hard way" experiences that lessons a ingrained deeper and a respect is gained for the wisdom of a parent. There have been many instances of "brandon dont do..." or "brandon dont go..."and let me say that i remember most of the outcomes (unless resulting in a mild concussion) of me being rebellious. And yea, sure there are times where ive benefited from moving at my own speed and doing my own thing, even against my parents will, but for the most part... theyre still winning with that count. that whole independence and self judgment is a priceless thing to teach, because as loving as you may be as a parent- you wont be here forever.
- a good teacher tells you where to look, not what to see.
