everyone gets a trophy
I'm special
There are no "best" friends
"No" is such a strong word

Another item is porn on the internet, my wifes a teacher and they have problems with the 12-14 year olds, both boys and girls watching that stuff.
If i was young and not had sex and thought that is what is done it would scare me to death to even ask a girl out.
