Your families are extremely proud of you. You can't imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing. This would be a most opportune time to ask for money.
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and this summer is not "summer vacation"...it's called unemployed.
Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Twenty years from now (heck, even in a year) you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So forget about your girl/boyfriend, forget about what people would think about you, and go do something worthwhile.
Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
You can buy 200 packs of Good Value brand ramen noodles for $20 (before tax)
Go to college single! Once you're labeled "taken", it will take you a long time to remove that label.
Keep a journal of some sorts, you will be amazed at where you have come from.
Take a semester to study abroad. You may never get another chance to spend months at a time in another culture.
Go to college. Even if you think you’re not the college type, one year will teach you a great deal about yourself. You have the rest of your life to work.
Though the offers will begin flooding in as soon as you hit college, do not get a credit card. You think you’ll use it only for emergencies, but soon you’ll feel that wanting a pizza at 2 a.m. is an emergency.
That isn't everything I learned from my first year of HS, but that should start you off pretty well.

Good luck w/ that. Try not to be losers, and get a REAL job. Oh yeah, don't be like the Pat and be drunk all the time.  |

Pat is not drunk all the time, just some of the time. Also, it is Whiskey that led Pat down the road to mastering the art of drinking at a young age.
