Advice to Alison Friedman @ Age Ten
1. Listen to your dad's advice Ð even though he's annoying, he has MUCH more life experience than you do. Even if he sounds crazy, he's probably right.
2. Savor those Saturday nights at home with your brothers and babysitter watching SNICK- you won't be able to do that when alcohol becomes the main focus of your weekend.
3. I know it is hard to get away from the TV., but try to be active. Go for more bike rides and play sports with your brothers, even if they kick your butt.
4. Don't take the tags off of your Beanie Babies; they won't be valuable without them and you won't really play with them. Keep them in a clean enclosed case. They don't really look that good as decoration in a living room, but if you pass them on to future generations in good shape there's a chance they will be able to sell them for a good amount of money
5. Don't get hung up in stupid fights over who stole who's boyfriend. Most of those boys are not worth the fight anyway. They will do stupid things in the future and get caught up in the wrong crowd. Besides, what's a boyfriend at 10 years old?
6. Avoid conflict with Diana; she is the only friend from elementary school who will stick by your side.
7. Take advantage of your fast metabolism and eat a lot, but don't just eat junk food. Eat a large variety of food.
8. Don't be so quick to give up things just because you're not the best. Continue with the gymnastics competition team. You'll learn the fundamentals of competition which you will encounter a lot in the future. Additionally, it will keep your body in good shape.
9. Try to become closer with your non-immediate family members; you'll regret it when future family occasions are awkward.
10. Don't be ashamed to still play with Barbie and other games, watch Barny and other children programs. Even though you can't wait to become mature and move on to middle school, your innocence still allows you to appreciate such things.
