Can Teens Give Advice To Adults?

Ladies and gentlemen, what can be better than a teenager giving advice to parents of their teenage son or daughter? Well, let’s speak with the truth, no one can. Answer me this, how many times haveyou heard that no one can understand what a person is going through unless you have gone through it too? I have heard it a lot. And it is true.

I ask her how she is in the different things that I know shehas trouble with.

I also tell her, that many of thethings that she tells me of her are normal of what she has. I can understand my friend, ‘cause in some way I am going through the same, so I get her. Let’s get real; if you have gone through the samesituation as another person, it is most likely for you to get how he or she feels. Giving advice is not an easy task for anybody. But, who can guess why I am, in some way, capacitated to give advice to...
