If I could tell any young person one piece of advice it would be, don't be in a rush to be an adult. There is a period of time we think we are as grown as we will ever be. Some of us thought that as early as 12. When youconsider you might live until you are 80 there is so much time to be an adult and childhood is fleeting.

Young women, more than men, are looking for the one true love. Enjoy romance, and new love, but don't settle.The person you are at 18 is not the person you'll be at 25 or 30 ect. Enjoy your life. Travel with friends, enjoy having your own space before sharing that space with another. Don't rely on anyone else for your happiness.

I was married at 17 and a mom at 18. It was so hard! I had no friends anymore because I couldn't come and go. I wasn't mature enough, and I got so depressed. I was in such a hurry. Because I have my beautiful kids, and grandkids I have no regrets, but... I often wonder what if?? What if I had gotten a better education? Would our lives have been easier, less money troubles, more security ect?? I don't wish these thought on anyone.

Get an education, start a career, and be choosy.
