Well, Katie and I were discussing the the fact that people should have handbooks for handling life. And then I said, "We could have everyone on HWGA post their best bits of advice to share! And if anyone needed help with friends or crushs or school or anything, there'd be one place to post questions and get answers!"
So what does everyone think? Katie and I think it's a pretty darn good idea. Besides, I usually get most of my help from you guys anyways and now everyone can find the same advice if they're having the same problems. So first, we'd like everyone to post their general rule/best bit of advice for life! It can be anything; even fashion advice. Hope you guys like it!

p.s. Even if some people aren't going to use this handbook, I definitly am!

GIVING ADVICE:
friend of mine is feeling really down on his luck. his last boyfriend(he is gay) broke up with him and he's been feeling really lonely. he also has a lot of problems at home (or did) because his parents are crazy. and he just moved out to his bro's one town over. so on top of it all i think he's still a little homesick in adjustment to moving out two weeks ago. he texted me the other day and said, "if god is so great and all, why did he give me a life in hell?" so basically he was losing faith as well.
i don't know how many of you are christians or have ever come close to losing faith but i have and my answer for him was simple.
god has plans for everyone and he doesn't put us through hell for nothing. he know's you are strong enough to handle whatever life throws at you and he knows that you are determined enough to get back up when you fall down. he does everything for a reason and you have to believe that, because when god thinks the time is right to tell you whatever truths there may be it will make it all make sense and your life will start to fall into place. some people find these things out when they're fifteen others when they're ninety two. but god has a plan for you and he is watching over you, he is not giving you a life through hell he just wants the good things you have in life to mean more to you than they would to others.
after that he called me (i texted him that it took like 4 messages or something like that. ><) and he said thanks julia. i guess i needed to hear/read that because i didn't want to believe it myself anymore.
so yeah. i thought that was a little bit of inspiration that would fit in nicely here. =]
UMMMM. yeah.
i think things like this can go on the page too, what do you think?

I tend to be the go-to person for most my friends, do you think that really helped that much?

It probably did! It's really good advice. I know if someone were to tell me that, I'd feel a lot better if I was in the same situation.

Well I'm not really sure how to say this, but I've decided to post some of my advice..... Here is goes!
"Don't judge someone before you know them. They might turn out to be a really great friend." That actually happened to me. I thought this girl at my school was not super nice and not a good person to hang around with because one of my other friends said she wasn't. I got to know the girl better, and we're very good friends now.
"'Fake' is choosing the wrong friends for the wrong reasons." Once again, I've also had this happen to me. The whole freshman drama thing put me on the spot and made me choose who I wanted my friends to be. I realized that the only reason I wanted to be friends with my freshman friends was simply because I hadn't hung out with anyone else in a long time. That's not to say that I'm not still friends with some of them, I love one of them to DEATH, but all I'm saying is pick your friends because you love them, not because you don't hang out with anyone else.
And finally "Love the ones who love you as well." It's always a good idea to make sure that you're not setting yourself up for heartache when you choose your friends. Pick people who you truly love, and who will or already do love you. I think that might have been my mistake with some of my freshman friends.... please learn from these!
What do you think??? Not too horrid, I hope.
