Sometimes it takes time for the young folk to see that what their parents(or adult guardians) are telling them is to stop them from making the mistakes made by those parents/adult guardians.....we forget that the only mistakes that you learn from are those that you painfully make, and have to correct.....It doesn't stop us from trying to tell them what not to do though.
