4 Rule 2 The real world won ’ t care as much about your self-esteem as your school does. It ’ ll expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. Problem Advice Students expect that everyone cares about their feelings. Do something good to prove yourself Then you can win others ’ respect

5 Rule 3 Sorry, you won ’ t make $40,000 a year right out of high school. And you won ’ t be a vice-president or have a car phone either.

6 Matching Match the problems with the advice Pay attention to the key words

7 Rule 4 If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss.

8 Rule 5 Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.

9 Rule 6 It ’ s not your parents ’ fault. If you screw up, you are responsible.

10 Rule 7 Before you were born, your parents weren ’ t as boring as they are now. They got that way paying your bills, cleaning up your room and listening to you tell them how idealistic you are.

11 Rule 8 Your school may have done away with winners and losers. Life hasn ’ t.

12 Rule 9 Life is not divided into semesters, and you don ’ t get summers off. Not even Easter break. They expect you to show up every day. For eight hours. And you don ’ t get a new life every 10 weeks. It just goes on and on.
