    "respect yourself or you'll lose it to a scum bag" - mom

    My parents told me to listen to that little voice inside that I'd hear/feel when trying to make a decision. If it made me feel hopeful, excited etc. then it was probably the right choice to make (as long as it wasn't illegal, immoral or life threatening). If it gave me a feeling of "I don't know if I should do this... Then it was most likely not the thing to do. Often I'd ignore my inner voice and learn an unpleasant lesson.

    One thing I'd tell my children, "If it's illegal, immoral or life threatening, stay away from it."

    To finish school and don't depend on someone to take care of you.

    My mom was brought up that a man should the one to take care of you which i believe that also.

    If i had a daughter (or ever do) i will tell her to not depend on a man for nothing.

    The main thing though was to be happy
