Synopsis
Television personality Bill O'Reilly offers advice for children, grounding his observations in personal anecdotes and stories about friends. As far as alcohol is concerned, after several of his friends once disgusted him with their drunkenness, he swore off drinking for life. He also counsels against ingesting illicit drugs. In the informative sex section, O'Reilly divulges that he lost his virginity at the age of 20. O'Reilly refers to inappropriate teenage behavior as being something a "pinhead" would do, while more admirable courses are routinely chosen by a "smart operator." There is a co-writer, but O'Reilly's voice is evident throughout.
