Rubbish. Kids of the general age group we are talking about here really
have nothing to bring to the table. That's why it's there job to shut up
and do nothing but listen and obey. Wish I had known this from the start.
If I knew then what I know now then my life would have been a lot easier.
I could have closed my trap and stucked up all the knowledge I could.
Unfortunately, I can't take my pittiful 24 years and give it to myself
from the ages of 1 to 23.
