So don’t screw up your future by being a screw up in the present. As a teenager you tend to think you’re invincible and your actions have no consequences. Let me tell you kids, you are not invincible and your actions (if stupid enough) will catch up to you. Try and think long term when making big decisions, especially if they are stupid ones.

Think, if I did this and it showed up on the New York Times, would I be okay with that? That’s usually a good barometer for knowing when something is good or bad.
