Teen advice: How to tell if you're street smart

by Horace Dempsey

Created on: August 16, 2010   Last Updated: August 18, 2010

1. If you know there's certain places you should go and certain places you shouldn't for your own safety, you're street smart.

2. If someone can give you five dollars and you can go on the streets and make that five dollars into fifty, you're street smart.

3. If you can be dropped off in a part of town you've never been before and you can manage to still get home on your own merit, you're street smart.

4. If you can meet people you've never seen before and automatically befriend them and get them to trust you, you're street smart.

5. If you can do something wrong and talk your way out of the consequences, you're street smart.

6. If you know the difference from being put in a bad situation from walking in one, you're street smart.

7. If you can get people to follow your foot steps without any real reason, you're street smart.

8. If you know a bad person when you see them, you're street smart.

9. If you know times when you should leave a certain place, you're street smart.

10. If your reading this right now and your still thinking about  number two in this list, you're street smart.
