Okay, Pride, lecture time!

1) When your parents leave you alone in the house while they go out of town, that means they trust you and want to see you be mature and responsible.

2) Don't be afraid to be a dick. If someone suggests something or tries to pressure you into doing something that you don't want to do AND know it's a bad idea, don't be afraid to forcefully tell them to fuck off. If they are your friend, they'll shut the fuck up and drop it. If they continue, just tell them to fuck off and don't have anything to do with them for a while. They'll make themselves feel guilty and will be callingin a few days to apologize. Don't worry about that.

3) Stay away from people who do coke. Even if they seem nice. Even if you have known them for years. People who do lots of coke are fuck-ups and they will screw you over. But...you already found that out.

4) You're not gonna get arrested by the cops for anything. Anything you tell them about isn't serious enough for them bothering to arrest you. Tell the cops exactly what happened and make sure Pedro knows you did it *after* you tell the cops. Either way, the cops know EXACTLY what was going on at your place. They may be fucking asshole nazis, but they aren't stupid.

5) Don't be so upset you did coke. The important thing is you didn't like it. It's a stupid drug anyway- it costs a ton of money for a short buzz that really isn't all that great anyway. See it as something you tried and move on.

6) Try to patch shit up with your parents. And really mean it when you try. You know you fucked up, now do something nice for them. Treat them to their favorite restaurant- buy them tickets to a play- fucking something, dude. You're old man will really be happy, then.

7) Dropping the dime on that asshole cokehead is an option. Just know that he may decide to kick your ass if he gets busted. Does he remember where you live? Can you take him? If no and yes, then fuck it and do it. Just don't get too wrapped up in a stupid feud with that waste of space. He's gonna be a loser anyway- coke-dealing thief with a criminal record? Yeah, see, he's not going anywhere in life. Why fuck with him? It's like beating up a bum- no real accomplishment.

8) Don't decide to trust someone because they are "nice". I've done the same thing countless times, ignoring the warning signals a person gave off because they seemed "nice", "cool", or "smart". Without exception, those people have turned out to either fuck me over or held me back from me having a life. Same for you.

Man, I should write a book, huh?
