Now, these are the Teen Commandments:

1. Stop and think before you drink.

2. Don't let your parents down; they brought you up.

3. Be humble enough to obey. You will be giving orders yourself someday.

4. At the first moment, turn away from unclean thinking - at the first
moment.

5. Don't show off driving. If you want to race, go to Indianapolis.

6. Choose a date who would make a good mate.

7. Go to church faithfully. The Creator gives you the week; give Him back an
hour.

8. Choose your companions carefully. You are what they are.

9. Avoid following the crowd. Be an engine, not a caboose.

10. Or even better - keep the original Ten Commandments.
