Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Charlie Sykes, once again, proves that common sense isn't completely dead.
A few examples:
Rule #1: Life is not fair. Get use to it.
Rule #9: Your school may have done away with winners and losers. Life hasn't.
Rule #14: Looking like a slut does not empower you.
Rule #30: Zero tolerance=zero common sense.
Rule #35: If your butt has its own zip code, it's not because McDonald's forced you to eat all those Big Macs. If you smoke, it's not Joe Camel's fault.
Rule #36: You are not immortal.
Some simple truisms that could benefit both kids, and adults!

Charles J. Sykesoffers life lessons that are not included in the curriculum for most children today: honest advice about what they will encounter in the "real world" post-schooling and how their parents can help them best prepare--not with cushy self-esteem talks, but rather with honest challenges. His 50 lessons are frank, sometimes harsh, and often hilarious, including:#1 Life is not fair. Get used to it.
