here's the passage
"8 Rule 1: Life is not fair — get used to it!
9 Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to

13 Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn
from them.
14 Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that

thought you are. So before you save the rainforest from the parasites of your parent’s
generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
17 Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop

18 Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one"
