Words For My Son On His Fifiteenth Birthday

2. You Deserve (And Need) Good People In Your Life

All of your friends are doing the same work of trying to figure out what kind of people they want to be. Sometimes they're going to act like fifteen year-old dipshits. That's to be expected, and it doesn't make them shitty people. However, some of the friends you'll make are going to be actual shitty people. They won't really care about you as a person. They'll get you into trouble, and they won't be there for you when trouble eventually lands. You don't deserve that. And what's more, you'll need good people who have your back to help you get through the weird shit that life has in store. Give people chances to be good friends, but if they can't be good friends then let them be bad friends somewhere else.
