Share a lesson you have learned about earlier in life

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.   The importance of education.  The reason why I am saying this is because I would have graduated from high school on time; instead of 3 years late.  I will admit that I used to goof off and become truant from high school for a total of 3 years.   The reason why I didn't go to school because I used to be an alcoholic and addict for an extended period of time.   I also suffer from seizures at an early age as well as dealing with issues inside of a neighborhood that was not conducive towards my personal needs.  Some of the friends that I was hanging around with used me of my time and resources.   The women who I was hanging around with were female prostitutes at the time from 1981 through 1986.  The importance of maintaining a good attitude for me is to listen to my Grandparents and mother.   I had became mischievous and nonchalant.   The Juvenile Court Judge told me to my face that if a child didn't go to school they were mentally crazy.  The importance of maintaining a good attitude is to stay away from people who are attending church and school.  Another thing is that I have learned how to become responsible at an early age.  I want to mention that the importance of freedom is to stay away from street gangs myself.   I had to change my attitude from positive from a negative attitude because I was making bad decisions for myself because my Grandparents and mother decided to oust me from their houses because I was sleeping at the park until 4:00am in the morning because I was smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol with the people who were at the park.   The importance of health consists of taking care of myself a whole lot better than usual.   The importance of health is having a successful relationship with God and Jesus Christ.   I knew that I was a street child because I had refused to listen to God and Jesus Christ as well as my parents.   I really didn't dislike school.  I stayed away from school because I had too many enemies.   The importance of freedom is to stay away from alcoholics and addicts because they were going to get me into trouble all of the time.   I graduated from high school three years late because I wanted to do my own thing.   There are people who really wished that they have graduated from high school on time rather than getting into trouble with their friends.  Some of my friends literally used me just to get me locked up early in life.  Those who do not love you are those who want you to be where they are in life.  Some of the people who live inside of my apartment building are smoking marijuana and Fentaynl right now.   The women will use you without telling you to your face.  Anytime there is a prostitute there is chaos.  Some of these women are selling themselves to the highest bidder.   I know because I used to purchase sex from female prostitutes from 1986 through 2010.  This is the truth because I have been burnt 22 times from having sex with them.  Buying sex is not worth it.   Some of these women are HIV POSITIVE AND YOU WOULD NOT KNOW IT.  YOU CAN CATCH VD FROM ORAL SEX.  THIS IS THE TRUTH BECAUSE I USED TO HAVE GONORRHEA IN MY MOUTH FROM PERFORMING ORAL SEX ON MY EX WIFE.  SHE REFUSED TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT HERSELF UNTIL SHE HAD PELVIS INFLAMMATORY DISEASE HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WAS A FEMALE PROSTITUTE HERSELF.
