I decided that when I learn a lesson, I make advice out of it for myself. So, I'll put it out there for other people to know. I'm not the only one who deserves a break, so do you that way, you don't make my mistakes or you learn something new that will help you in life.

Todays advice is about taking things or people for granted:

Today, one of my classmates, as a prank, jumped over the railing of the commons in my high school. He hit the railing on the first floor, and then hit the ground. He cracked his head broke both arms and both legs from what i heard.

The thing that sucks overall is, I made fun of him over and over in seventh grade. I called him Mr.Mom and a girl, called him shorty, even cussed him out once.

Then, today occurred, and it hit me right then and there, people are taken for granted. It's not right, I mean yea we poke fun at people every once in a while not meaning harm. Yes that happens, but doing what I did and first thing you do is say "Hey Mr.Mom!" or greeting him in some profane way isn't right. You never know how long they have left or what might happen to them.

What I learned from all of this is, don't haze people or hurt them badly, its one thing if it was poking fun, its another if its seriously hurting someone and making them feel bad. I might have just made cooking class a living hell for him, but, I know now, that was wrong and next time I see him, I'm apologizing and I really hope he's okay.
