- When you have no plans because nothing anyone else is doing sounds good to you, and you get invited to a friend's house to watch Friday Night Lights, just KNOW that boys will show up and you will want to look cute and should wear something nicer next time. If it's Friday and you're going outside, DRESS UP, even if just going to the corner store.
- Any time you ask someone where they found the guys who are coming over and their answer is vague and involves "the mall" just know they'll be sketchy guys.
- Tasting six different types of beer DOES count as drinking, even if you had less than an entire one of any of them.
- If sketchy guys don't care that you're dressed like a slob, know that whatever compliments they're giving are just to get you to make out with them. Don't bother letting their compliments make you feel good.
- After making out with sketchy complimentor dude whose name you're not sure of, when he asks if you want to go for a walk, either don't go or pay attention to where you're walking. Or bring someone. Or bring money for a cab.
- When sketchy guy's friends magically show up saying they have to go to another party, don't think you can't ask for a ride back to your friend's house because "they seemed like they were in a rush" as that will sound lame to you when you remember your reasoning.
- After walking 14 blocks through the South Bronx with random people throwing glass bottles at your back to get home, do not blindly wipe off the back of your jeans before going inside - there will be glass embedded in your jeans that will slice up your hands and make you bleed.
- When you get home and take off your jeans, don't let them fall on the floor and leave them there because you're tired and in a bad mood. Your sister will step on them in the dark and then scream that something bit her, and then you will have to get up anyway to take glass out of her foot with tweezers. Then she will be mad at you.
- Try really hard not to be an asshole. Really, REALLY hard.

1. Good thought.
2. Um... now I'm concerned.
3. Yes it does count as drinking, and not a good idea when 'sketchy' guys are involved. Google "GHB" to see why.
4. Very insightful. However, I'm thinking you say this in hindsight, and not in forethought.
5. I choose 'don't go'
6. Now I'm REALLY concerned.
7. Throwing bottles? OMG!
8. Yeah, I get the "mad at you" part, but let's remember you were the one who endured #8.
9. After a night like Friday, that's a tough one.
Oh, I am so very, very sorry that guys are like we are. We're big time scumbags.
When I lived in Manhattan I had a few bottles thrown at me too when I stupidly ended up alone in the wrong neighborhood. I'm glad you learned for next time.
um yes, i'm a little conserned. but all sound like perfectly good advice and i trust you have perfect good sense not to do anything you don't want to do. take care, though. you got me worried.
