Guled's 11 Rules to Life

I read on my friend's Facebook page the 11 Rules to Life (or something close to that) attributed to Bill Gates, but really written by a journalist named Sykes I think. In any event, because those 11 Rules are so blasted good, I sent an email to my 11 year old son to read those blastedly good 11 rules. Below is the email I got back from him today, spelling warts and all. I responded that if he would fix the spelling glitches, I'd give him some school credit (we virtual school now). So far, he hasn't been a taker. I attempted to paste a copy of his email here, but the small pictures and emoticons will not paste, making the gist of his email fall pretty flat I guess. I've interlineated some comments where pictures were:
