Growing Up

It's ignorant to tell a kid to have as much sex as possible while he's young. I understand, or hope, that some of yall were joking but give the kid some legitimate advice. He has enough people in the world telling him how to ruin his life without getting it here too after asking for advice.
get over yourself. this is a blind message board of Vol fans. Earnestly seeking advice here, especially of the nature of the post, warrants any ridiculous answer I can even think of.

For your edification, I'm gonna try hard to suck less so you'll approve.

If this young man stays away from drugs and hangs out with nice young ladies , he will learn alot by doing both !
As far as sex it's a part of growing up , you have to deal with it and different people deal with it differently !!

Choose your friends wisely

Do what your heart tells you ( but realize your brain can help )

Use the instincts that your parents have instilled in you

Respect everyone that you meet ( you never know the hand anyone has been dealt in life )

If you dont know something , ASK , someone else will know and probably enjoy helping you

Trust God

Trust your parents

Trust youself

For petes sake enjoy your youth because it will not allways be there

when did advising a kid to have a little fun with the females become such a bad thing?

Some good, and some interesting, advice on this thread!

If I can add anything, it's to try to always hold yourself accountable for your actions and choices. You may feel like a kid at times, but many of your decisions from now on will be subject to scrutiny.

If you have the opportunity to get a college education, value that gift and make the most of it.

When you find yourself in a relationship that seems like the real deal, step back and make sure. It's very easy to lose yourself when you think that you've found "the one," but it's very hard to deal with the consequences when you find out that you were mistaken.

Learn to avoid amassing a huge amount of debt, and if you can, learn to save early.

Enjoy life's little pleasures, and don't pay too much attention to what society, the media, and your peers say you should desire.

Accept immediately that certain decisions can never be undone. One moment of weakness can result in a DUI, pregnancy, infection with a life-threatening STD, or a fatal accident.

Finally, if you set goals, believe in yourself, surround yourself with positive people, and work everyday toward an end, there is very little that you can't achieve.

I'm 32, and most of the above come from either personal experiences or those of friends. Hope this helps!

All good advice, I have found that experience is something you get just right after you needed it.

Or you can do what I have done, refuse to grow up.

I told him to get his ass to Knoxville. What he does with females is his business. If he wants to get on as many as possible then kudos to him. If not then that's fine too.

Don't mistake lust for love

Save as much as you can as soon as you can

Be respectful to everyone

Those 3 things have helped me a lot

How bout this advice, stay up late, wake up early, and try not to miss out on stuff you find to be interesting. There is no instant replay and we're only here for a short while. Live life to the fullest.

Rock on kid and have a good birthday.

I assume you speak from 'sperience on that first one and adhere to the 2nd. I make the assumption because I know you follow the third. Good advice.

The saving mantra is probably the biggest favor you can do for yourself...live below your means and you sleep well at night.

Being respectful to everyone is essential......I have gotten a huge amount of mileage out of just being nice...plus it just makes things more pleasant.

Reciprocated love is a wonderful thing but so is reciprocated lust.

Looking back to when I was 16, I realize my Dad really did know more than I did. Always think first before you act and also before you speak.

Don't get caught up in the "rat race" it only stresses you out. Learn to enjoy the little things in life. Just because the "Jones'" have it doesn't necessarily mean you have to have it to be happy.

Enjoy each day you have and make the most of it. Our time here is short. Work smart not hard. If you do have the opportunity to attend college, use the education you receive. Put your education to work instead of your back.

In 2001 I had open heart surgery and ended up having a defibrillator implanted into my chest. I've been on permanent disability since. I'm 37 now and the biggest thing I've learned is contentment. Be content with what you have in life.

No matter how bad things get and they will.... remember it could always be worse. Trust God and put your faith in Him and you'll have peace that passes understanding. Good luck and don't sweat it, it's a great ride.

Remember this forever, the one food guaranteed to kill the sex drive in a woman is.....Wedding cake.

OK. Before we get any smartasses around here, I'll edit that and say that "My two sons would disagree."
You think that will preempt the smartasses? Exactly what are your two sons opinion of your wifes sex drive?
