I don't have children, and wouldn't presume to give someone else's children advice. But I am an observer, so here are my thoughts... Always think about the possible consequences of your actions. Some consequences are painfully hard to recover from, and can change the course of your life. Always think first. What could happen if I do such-and-such, coupled with some bad luck? What if I drive drunk and cause myself or someone else serious injury? What if I get arrested and convicted of a crime? What if I marry someone I know isn't really right for me? What if I cheat? What will happen to my life? So many, many lives have been ruined by bad decisions.

Good thoughts, Laurel. Think before you act. I believe we all make mistakes along the way, some with small consequences that give us the opportunity to learn, and other that can change the course of our personal history and the history of others. Thanks for sharing this.
