Hi, I was listening to Jordan Peterson speech and he said:
"One of the things you have to be careful of if you agreeable is not to be exploited, because you line up to be exploited and I thing the reason for that is because you're wired to be exploited by infants"
What is "exploited by infants" means?

Sorry for asking about those words but i need to know
First of all, sorry for asking about inappropriate word, but I really have to know so I don't make the mistake again.
Q1) My friend told me that : "You suck" has the same sexual meaning as "Suck it" .What I understand is "You suck" is just a rude way of saying "You are stupid" or you did something wrong ,am I right ?. What I want to know is what a native speaker will understand when he reads or hears : "You suck" ?
Q2) what is more inappropriate : saying "This company is suck" or "This company is shit" ?
(( I'm really sorry for those inappropriate words , I know they don't use them in the formal language & I rarely use them but want to know about them anyway ))

Eternal homesick
I returned home with some coins from New Zealand , those coins will never be used again ,I believe they miss being in their environment and miss the movement between kiwi hands, maybe they now feel homesick like I did ,but now we’ve changed the roles and it's eternal for them .Maybe they now talk to each other about old days ,how they made a child happy after buying an ice-cream in a sunny day ,how they were hero of many scenarios and how people respected and kept them in secure place.
...but not anymore!

adolescents and parents
Adolescence is believed to be a time of heightened self-consciousness ,stress and depression as well as conflict between independence and reliance on others.Those behavioral problems can be reduced if not solved by parents guidance to their children . but this is easier said than done , since a considerable number of parents are not well educated nor have enough knowledge about this specific age . It might goes worst when parents keep treating their sons and daughters in this age as kids and keep ordering them and choose on their behalf .

I lost my wallet
It was the Halloween day, I finished my school day, and took a bus to my homestay , when the bus arrived to my place I couldn’t find my snapper card, I told the driver to keep going to next stop so I can check my pockets , after few seconds I found it , and I left the bus. A lot of children were in the street walking wearing scary cloth and costumes I started take pictures for the children, it was my first time to be in counter that do Halloween. Sometime I set down to be in the same level of the children to take better pictures ,
and after few hours I return to my homestay , after about half hour I recognized that my wallet is not in my pocket ! The first think I thought about it is I dropped it when I was taking pictures for the children, I return to the same street to check , but unfortunately I could not find anything ..
I went to the police station to make a report about what happen , and maybe someone found it and bring it back to them.
In the morning I went to police station again just in case there is any update even though they had my phone number, they told me nothing new , but you can go to bus station from 9 am to 4 pm to check if you dropped it the bus , and I decided to go there tomorrow because I don’t want to be absent in the school, that day in the institute i could not be concentrate all the time , and some students notices that - thanks for them :) - I didn’t want to talk about it because I want to concentrate in anything else . From tomorrow I went to the bus station, the good news was they found my wallet ! but the bad news the money is gone !
* Lessons from want happen:
- I believe what happened to me is supposed to happen even before I borned, what I need now is to learn from it . We can’t rewind the clock so no benefits from feeling angry all the day.
- I need to be more relax and not feel anxious and nervose because of it I lost my wallet in the bus
- Keep the cash in your wallet as less as possible.
- What happened can be worst and worst if the person who took the wallet used the visa cards , so I should to be grateful :)
- When I see homeless people and who don’t have any money , patients in the hospital with a lot of pains or people with no family and friend , I realise that what happened to me is much less than what happened to them so I should stay Thankful and happy I still have family , friends and have good health.

Childrens and foreign languages
Learning a foreign language is a common thing nowadays.
In some countries they learn there children a foreign language in school , there are some debate about this issue , some parents agree with it and some don't .
In the one hand , some parent disagree about learn a foreign to there children in the school , and they think it's not important to them in this age, and they would rather make there children focus in other subjects .
And in the other hand , they found it very useful to them, because as a child you can learn fast , and it will help them in the future when they want to study abroad and when they go to travel as well . In my opinion I agree with them ,that learning a foreign language as a kid - specially English - will help them in the future , and it will open a lot of closed door to them , as we know a lot of resources and research in the internet are in English language.
In conclusion, it is debatable whether learning a foreign language is required or not , and I found it really quite useful and I recommend it .
