2) Parents are always available 24/7 to you when you want to talk or share something. It could be something funny, exciting, embarrassing, hurtful, painful, or troubling.
3) Don’t sign any type of contract until you read and understand everything. Consult someone with knowledge or with your parents first.

10) Leave all bad memories behind because it will give you a fresh start.
11) If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they do not.
