2) Learn a musical instrument and pour your soul into writing songs.
3) Remind yourself daily that this is a pretty big world and the petty shit that transpires in school absolutely, positively will not matter the moment you graduate.
4) Listen. Don't wallow in your own thoughts while others speak, but condition yourself to be receptive to what others are saying at all times. The more you listen, the more you will empathize. The more you empathize, the greater your sense of purpose in the greater whole of society will be.
5) Spend less time online and more with real person-to-person interaction. But choose those people wisely.

I was in your shoes 20 years ago, in a time when doctors didn't hand out psychoactive drugs to minors like sweet tarts. I learned bona fide coping skills. Without revealing the intimate details of my life, the zit-faced, do-gooding 98-pound weakling who was terrorized by the cool kids for most of his grade school life is now a (knock on wood) successful businessman with a great home, a loving wife and child, a couple of satisfying hobbies, and time enough to hang here with you folks.

I don't think about my hometown much, nor do I dwell on my past. The day I left home for college, none of the crap was relevant any more. Only the academic and people skills I'd learned on the way.


wow thats some good advice, i could almost hear the song sunscreen in my mind when i was reading that. there is some good advice in that song too.

to sean, here are a few more things

1.Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
2.Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
3.Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.
4.Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults.

(all from the sunscreen song)

lol ric, i know where you comign from, but weed isnt grown using slave labour, on plantations in the 3rd world. people dont die making weed. i'm from BC the 'antzerdam' of Pot. i have seen grow-ops. if i were to go out and buy some weed, no one died in bringing that weed from the plant to my possesion.

anyway here take a look at this report its written by a PHd and though its pretty old it should still be look.

Weed facts/myths

a few things i said were wrong, pot smoke does have tar in it, and it is harmful. anyway take a look at some of the ideas presented in there.

it may be that if you buy some pot in brazil it was grown through rough labour and what not, and the money goes to big crime lords and what not. but that is not true world wide.

one interesting thing that i noticed in there was that marijuana smoke doesnt cause emphisema, unlike cigarette smoke. and one other good point that was brought up. you dont have to smoke weed to use it. doing things like baking it into muffins or using a water filler hucka, make doing weed, way less harmful then either achohol (because it doesnt distroy your kidneys and liver) and smoking cigarettes(cause using a water filter will greatly greatly reduce the effects of the carcinogens). it should also be pointed out that it hasnt been proven that marijuana causes cancer or anything, its only possible that it does.

overall marijuana is MUCH less harmful and addictive then things like meth/crack/or haroine, and therefore it shouldnt be classed among those. its better classed in the same league as alcohol and cigarettes, both of which could be considered more harmful cause they are more addictive, and both of which are legal.

same same arguement could have been made about alchol during prohibition. look at the world now. there is one key difference that sets pot aside from all outher hard drugs. and thatis that pot is no where near as harmful, to the body, nor is it as addictive. there are reasons why hard drugs are banned, i an agree with them 100% but pot isnt a hard drug. and all that aboutit killing brain cells. i go to UBC the 37th ranked university in the world. and i dont think i know someone who doesn smoke pot once in a while. its funny though cause if it were my choice i would rather ban cigarettes and allow pot, cause cigs are ALOT worse.

hahahaha oh well, i dont really find that OT is like TF.n cause i am usually the only one left to defend the PT here. it seems like OT.com and Tf.n are polar opposites. contrast those topic that were posted by CO and compare them to the onces we have here, people here are jsut as one sided as they seem to be over there, its just they are on the opposite side.

ic i can understand where your coming from with drugs, but things like pot are not so big. hahaha its funny here in BC pot is like a local thing, yes there are big people that make shit loads of it, this past year there was a huge bust in vancouver where they found $300 000 000 worth of pot in a ware house, but there are also alot of local people that grow it. i had a buddy who will remain nameless who did the following. he and his budy took out a loan of lirk 20 000. they then bought food and supplies to last them 3 months, they then rented a house in the boonies, and grew about 80 000 worth of pot. my buddy used tha tmoney to go the school and you support his family. you cant OD on weed. weed doesnt kill you, infact its been proven in many ways that week(though harmful) is less harmful the smoking cigarettes. there is no tar or nicotine in weed, that will fuck up your lungs or anything. adn weed is no where near as addictive and drinking, or smoking can be. i agree with you on all other drunks though, they are bad to the bone. and no i am not a stoner, however like 4 of my closest friends are. and so i know alot about the stuff. hahaha here is a funny stat i heard the other day, its an estimate made by some brocker. he said that, if the selling of weed, were made legal, and the production of if was brought under government control. it would but a multi-billion dollar industry in BC.

you guessed it, and i saw it coming too. but sometimes you have to do what you have to do, or else you'll always be kicking yourself, i wonder what would have happened if i had the guts to do this or that or what ever.

sometimes i really really hate the friend zone. sean i knwo exactly how you feel, i have been there and its a very big dilema, i am still trying to figure it out sorta. all i can say is start doing nice little things liek complementing her more and such, i sent my friend flowers on her bday, gave her a mini rose(white/red), on valintines. just things like that. all i can say is it takes a little time, and then after awhile she will notice, and thats when you ask her out or do something to relay your feelings.
