Whats the worse advice you've ever received from your parents?

Finish everything that's on your plate. " I know our parents always heard that, since they were raised by depression-era parents, but it's terrible advice. It creates habits that are really hard to break, since you need to reprogram your brain and your body to not necessarily see whatever is on your plate as a serving.It's been really hard for me to try to teach myself to pay attention to feeling full and to stop eating when I'm not quite full (you'll feel full after you stop eating and let your brain catch up).

I wish I had grown up doing that all along. It would make things much easier now. Other than that, my parents generally gave good advice :).

I'm sure there's a really good answer in my brain somewhere, but I can't come up with it right now. My parents are generally risk averse, and I've lived my life by taking huge risks backed up by lots of research in order to beat the odds. I guess "play it safe" can be bad advice if you want to get ahead and know what you're doing.

Honestly I wish they would have given more advice. I was on my own after turning 14. I wish they would have convinced me to go to college after school, to not marry my first husband, and to warn me about personal finances.

If they had given more and better advice, I would have avoided alot of headaches.

To go to dental school. I started College pre-med and even though I had the grades I couldn't picture myself with my hands in people's mouths for the rest of my life. I was always more business oriented and glad I followed that path.

Plus I would never have the patience for the pain in the a. S patients.

TThe one piece of advice that I would consider bad is when I was pregnant with my first child. She kept telling me to eat up you're eating for two! Which we all know is not the case.It resulted in my gaining way to much weight and made my delivery more difficult.

Don't have children until you finish college. " It took me ten years to finish college. I never did have children.

:(.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
