2 days ago we had a moving up ceremony, and the speaker said that the secret to a successful life is "Honor your parents and Honor God". That advice wouldn't apply to everyone...
When I wanted to cut back on my drinking: "Just don't buy it."
Look, it's great that you've never been addicted to anything, but it also means that you're in no position to be offering addiction advice.

Idk man, I've never gotten married and it's been fine for me. My girlfriend and I have been together for 14 years, have 2 kids, and our family is all that has kept me going through this shitty world. Never married though, so many there is some truth to the advice.

"Just be yourself and you'll make lots of friends at your new school."
Four years of constant bullying and loneliness later: I have one acquaintance that would eventually become my friend after a few more years. I also have basically no self-confidence, and my social development is set back half a decade as I'm still looking for friends to have sleepovers with when everyone else has moved on to normal teenager stuff.
