Lies OTH Taught Me

One Tree Hill (2003-2012): Two baby mamas of shared baby daddy bond together to open a cafe in this sleepy North Carolina town. Brought together, their children must learn to cope with their family situation while navigating the turmoils of high school weddings, teenage pregnancies, school shootings, brother-killing-brother scenarios and I-found-you-through-your-webcam stalkers. More importantly, can they win the state championship basketball game?
1. Nothing is sexier than a half-whisper, half-chain-smoker voice.

2. You should set up a web cam that is on 24/7 and just do all of your things in front of it. And your parents will think this is totally normal and buy you a higher-quality one so people can see your face better.

3. Parents and their teenage children have long, serious talks about their emotions and mutual dating lives. 

4. Children born to teenage parents never cry and are perfect angels. 

5. Children can lecture their parents and give them advice, and parents will take this seriously.

6. Incomprehensible conversations are really just too wrought with emotion to be comprehensible. They're understandable only through the language of love, with a heavy accent of hormones.  Brooke: We should do this more often. Lucas: What? Brooke: Be friends. Lucas: We are friends. Brooke: I know. But we should really be friends. Lucas: Yeah.
7. If you really love someone, wait until they give you a smoldering look and then say "And I love you for it." But never define what "it" is. Because that would take away the mystique that is integral to the sexual tension. 
8. You can have a school shooting, a stalker and an abduction where you end up escaping by killing someone in your basement and your dad STILL won't come home from his work trip. 

9. No one knocks. Or has locks on their doors.
