10. "Your family is the people who love you."- Most people realize this, because we don't like people who don't like us. We hang around with people who do, and we consider them our family. STOP TEACHING THIS!!!

9. "People only make fun of you because they're jealous of you."- This is false. People envy those they are jealous of, and they make fun of people who are different. I know, just read my bio.

8. "Never say that you're home-free because if you do, you won't be."- I know this isn't a lesson you can apply to everyday life, and it's never clearly stated. But I don't care. It's an overtaught lesson.

7. "Someone always sneezes when they're hiding from danger."- This one has been clearly stated, but it's still not applicable to everyday life. But, again, I don't care.

6. "Being different is a wonderful thing."- Yeah, it sure is... This is the real reason people make fun of you. The only time it's wonderful is when you're a he-man and everyone else is a 98 lb. weakling. Or if you're a guy and everyone else is a girl.

5. "The real beauty is on the inside."- No one can see your inside. This is something not-so-attractive people say to make other not-so-attractive people feel better. It makes me feel better.

4. "Drugs are bad."- Everyone knows this now. The odd part about the whole thing is the DARE program. I know several people who went through it who never even thought of using drugs that are now addicts.

3. "Never underestimate the power of the mind."- This is a no-no, unless if your opponent is really stupid and weak. Or you have telepathic powers.

2. "A watched pot never boils."- This is true. And it applies to all things: "A watched car never comes; A watched phone never rings..."

1. "Never leave home without clean underware."- Yeah... okay. But how dirty does underware have to be to not be considered "clean"?
