ok so i'm going to be a sophmore and we're currently making our schedules for next year.
first question: i'm in frnech 1 and am planning on taking french 2 but the teacher isn't good. like she teaches us words but not how to put them into sentences and stuff and i'm not learning anything really. so is it ok to take like 2 years of french and then two years of chinese? like is that good for colleges or should i stick with french?
another thing what types of after school activities and such look good or college?
colleges would prefer that you take several years (like three... two at minimum) of the same foreign language. i think it would be better if you stuck with french. as for after school activities, look for leadership and volunteer opportunities. it's always good to be involved in uil activities- like sports, music, and uil academics. and if you join a club that has officers, run for officer! it can't hurt you, and it looks great on an application. honestly, do as many essay contests (or the like) as you can. it may seem stupid, but if you win an award then that is impressive too. my school offers all these little contests and stuff, and because nobody really participates, you have a better likelihood of winning something if you turn something in.
i hate the winter. but i love the summer.
and i want to go to a college located somewhere were its as hott as it can get in the winter (in the us).
like, california, florida, etc.
got any more places?
& some GOOD colleges located somewhere hot.?
i agree with nova- texas a&m is a good college and it's rarely ever actually cold there. basically any texas university is never going to be cold- university of texas at austin, baylor university, texas tech, etc. you might want to look into other colleges in the deep south, like in alabama or mississippi.
the name bob.Why do people think its such a weird/funny/goony/idotic name for?
it's a common name, and if you say it enough it sounds weird. other than that, most people have name stereotypes- a lot of people think that names like brittany, courtney, or lindsey are preppy names. kind of the same deal.
This is a really random question, but what's up with new inventions starting with an I? I-pod, I-home, I-dog, I-parent, I-grade, I-quiz, I-walk, etc. These are not all made by apple, so that can't be it. Anyone know?
the ipod came first (though there's no telling where they got that name), so since it's so popular other companies want to basically infringe copyright and try to make their product as popular as the ipod. it's because they can't come up with awesome marketing ideas like apple can, so they just leech off of other companies.
In the movie "Yours, mine, and ours" what is the song they play when the kids have that party. I think the song goes "All the girls and the boys and people makin noise" or somthing like that. Thanks to whoever answers.
that's hawk nelson- bring 'em out. funny story... i didn't realize that they were actually in the movie until i ended up running lights at one of their concerts and recognized the song.
I always always get bored while cleaning what can i do to not get so bored???
listen to music! or have your family withhold food until your room is clean.

I am in 8th grade and go to a year round school. The first trimester I had a 1.8 and 2nd trimester I had a 2.6. I think we need a 6 point something to pass and go to high school. So I have no idea what to do. I did very bad in first trimester. I think you need to add the GPA up and then divide it by 6 right? So if I have the GPA I have now then will I pass? I am going to try and get them up again but I just want to know what it will be. I don't know for sure if I have to divide by 6 but I'm not sure. Oh by the way I have brought my grades up but I am struggling when tests come, I stink at studying. I always put it off. So does anyone have have any study tips. I talk to my teachers alot about it. I just need help. Thanks!
I am not sure about figuring the GPA for a year-round school because my school year only has two semesters. If you go to your school guidance counselor, they should help you with that, definitely. As for study tips, here are some helpful ones that have really made my life a lot easier:

hey, i just want to know if there's anyone who's asked their good guy friend out,or if you've had feelings for them and just straight out told them. i dunno anyone who's done that and what the best/worst is that can happen,as in how often the friendship still remains after that is said. so if you can tell me what happened after you told your best guy friend please let me know! thank you!
hey. yeah, my best guy friend and i have been really good friends for about four years. all through then, it was like we both knew that we liked each other but we didn't want to act on it and risk ruining our friendship. there were times when we did talk about our feelings, and we just had to decide to just be friends. and in my situation, it's better that way because i really do value my friendship with him. and now we don't really feel the same- we're just friends. on another note, it was the right decision because now he is dating a wonderful girl and i couldn't be happier for both of them. and by the way, the girl that he is dating is also one of his best friends and they decided to start dating after being great friends for a few years. you just have to talk about it and choose which route would be best. the worst that can happen is that things might be weird for a while, but if your relationship is strong enough you will be fine in the end. the best that can happen is that you will live happily ever after, no matter the outcome. truthfully, things have only been weird with us once, and it was only for like two days. so go for it. i think the best decision is to at least tell him how you feel, and then you can decide what you want to do. there are cases where you should date somebody, and there are cases where it's best not to. i'm very happy with my decision to just stay friends with him because i'm happy and he's happy and his girlfriend (who is one of my good friends) is also happy. i'm not telling you to make him date somebody else or anything, but discuss the situation with him and decide what you want to do. i hope i helped :)
k so i met this kid this past summer. and i just started talking to him again. he saw pics of me and says im alot hotter since the summer. and wants to hook up. im thinking about it. ive never hooked up before and im kind of nervous. but im in 10th grade. and havent yet. like. i wanna do it, but its ganna be so akward and whatnot. helpp on like how to, whats expected, etc. should i?! thanks
don't hook up just for the sake of hooking up.
if you do have feelings for him, and if he has feelings for you (other than complete and total lust), then i think it would be fine to pursue something.
warning: "he says i'm a lot hotter since the summer"... i believe he just used a pickup line on you.
i think he sounds like a douche, no matter how attractive he is. you deserve somebody who is going to respect you and not pressure you into anything.
but it's your choice.
ok...so, like, i was thinking the other day, when your cherry is popped does that mean your virginity is gone?
and i dont mean gone by sex. like maybe by tampons or masterbating or fingering? like if its popped because a tampon did it or something and someone says "are you a virgin?" do you say "no, because i have never had sex." or do you say "yes, because my hymen is gone?"
im a very random person and this has been annoying me, so yeah.
if you have never had sexual intercourse, you are a virgin.
if your hymen is gone/broken/whatever, it does not play into the virginity thing. you can still be a virgin if your hymen is damaged, like from a tampon. if your hymen is damaged by a male reproductive organ, then that would be different.
so here's an example scenario:
person A has never had sex but uses tampons and may possibly have a damaged hymen.
person B says, "are you a virgin?"
person A says, "yes, because i have never had sexual intercourse. however, my hymen is damaged, which is actually more information than i should ever tell anybody in casual conversation."
I dont understand why so many people have issues with immigrants coming here illegally. i mean what happened to the good ol american saying that its the land of the free? i mean if you lived a crap life in mexico and you were just looking for a better life in america.. doesnt it make sense to try and come here? i mean when people get granted to come here.. its not that easy. you could be told "no". then what are you gonna do? live a crap life there? NO. try to imagine life from their POV. with the border being built up thats gay.. i mean who are we to say how many people can inhabit america? i mean this is a country friggen based on IMMIGRANTS. the closest anyone can call themselves to a real american is if they have a long line of native americans in their family. and what about a long time ago when columbus came and took land away from the native americans? what if they called them illegal immigrants cause they didnt call to come say hello, and uh steal their land and kill their people while they're at it. with hillary clinton she says she doesnt wanna be involved with the building of that humongous border, but thank god obama has some sense. super tuesday was really close.. i was pretty pissed that obama came a close second. bet its just racist old people, since a lot of the younger generation wants obama. like in school (btw 8th grade) we had a poll out of my entire team and obama was clearly the winner. hillary had like 1/4 of the votes and very few were for mccain. and i live in new jersey.. which mostly favored hillary, obama coming second. thats just plain weird that the kids would have diff opinions like that. obama appeals to everybody. there are some people like me that.. like idk why but thers something about hillary i dont like. but with obama.. it just seems so different, so right. with him i actually feel that change will come to our country. anyways, with obama hes gonna try to get the mexicans that come over for day jobs licenses.. so that they know the rules of america and stuff.. cause they need to know them or they can be a danger to the people here, and well themselves as well. cause thinking that a little border is gonna stop people from making outlandish schemes to get over it, is bullshit. not gunna happen. its not right for the racist people around mexico (in america.. like above mexico) go around shooting people they see crossing over. who the hell would give these old coots the right to SHOOT SOMEBODY? for doing what? trying to get a better life! that is totall bullcrap so remember to vote for obama, once again. and yea building that border is not gonna be cheap.. and people complain about the tax prices now.. heh well its not getting better with that border, hunny. money should go to better things. as well with the border surrounding canada which is more ridiciously hilarious.. look at a man of North America and i wont have to explain. k end rant. opinions? please dont like remove this.. i really want to know opinions.. in a way i guess thats sort of like answers right? like advice to me. yeah. or if its wrong like tell me why how this isnt an advice question and how i could make it one. kthanks mods.
First of all, you're in the eighth grade. I can't tell you how many of my friends' opinions have changed since then. It's unbelievable. And I'm not looking to argue with you.
As for immigration, you have good points and I respect that. Let's talk about when you are old enough to pay taxes. Public schools (independent school districts) operate on property tax. People who live in apartments don't pay property tax- the property tax gets paid, but there are a lot of people living in a smaller space than say, a house. When illegal immigrants come to America, there's no way they can pay taxes without getting caught by the I.R.S. and forced back to their homeland. Therefore, there are many kids (a lot at my school) whose parents are illegal immigrants who don't pay property taxes. So what does that mean? That means that that child goes to school completely free. Yes, public school is "free," but your parents pay property tax- which goes to the school. A child whose parents don't pay property tax literally does go to school for free- which is bad for the school because how are they supposed to support extra students without financial support? Besides that, many illegal immigrants don't speak English, which means that obviously standardized testing will not be awesome which means even less money from the state for the public school. And that's just one aspect of it.
And if you live anywhere near the South, you know that immigration is a joke anyway. I learn more Spanish when I'm going about my daily business in town than I have in any Spanish class.
I don't have a problem with people immigrating here. I do have a problem with people living here illegally and not paying taxes, however (and those who are here illegally and depend on the government for welfare). Our tax dollars at work... supporting people who don't pay taxes.
Yes, I agree that younger generations root for Obama. However, the outcome of the vote of your eighth grade class does not really mean anything. I'm not undermining your opinion (and in fact I'm glad that you're not apathetic like many students), but you are not old enough to actually vote.
Obama doesn't appeal to everybody... obviously, or Mike Huckabee would have dropped out a long time ago.
Here's some info you might like.
When Bill Clinton left office, he had reduced our national debt to about 2 trillion dollars. At this point, our national debt is back up to over 9 trillion dollars.
Over 36 million Americans are living in poverty.
Forty-seven million are uninsured.
Our consumer credit debt is 12.8 trillion dollars.
Only 32 percent of Americans view our current President favorably.
Sixty percent of our fuel is imported.
And if you've heard anything about the "rebate checks"... you might want to read this part too. The government is expecting people to go out and spend this money to give back to our economy, so to speak. Undoubtedly, a large portion of this money will go to Wal*Mart, a super-corporation notorious for its lack of employee benefits. The reason that Wal*Mart is able to keep its prices so low is because it sends its labor elsewhere- ie, Mexico, Thailand, China, Japan, Malaysia, et cetera. The people there have to work very cheaply to even provide for their families. In other news, Wal*Mart is taking advantage of them. So basically, we are sending even more of our money overseas, while treating the rest of the world like crap and eliminating the use of Americans in the workforce.
And as far as "No Child Left Behind"... catering those who have no motivation to amount to anything only harms those who can achieve.
I hope you appreciate this because I should be reading "Pride and Prejudice" right now.
I support Hillary Clinton.
I need some help of finding a prom dress. I live in a town w/nothing in it. I want to have something no one will have. Are there are good stores? Websites? Preferbly I want a short dress. Not even a prom dress. More like party dress. Thankkyooouuu
google "prom dresses"... it worked for me.
so i was just searching around the web and came across this lemonade diet and you just drink lemonade for at least 10 days and you lose weight.. i know they will probably gain the weight back.. but is there an actual diet that wont make you gain the weight back if you just eat a certain kind of food/drink?
just drinking lemonade? that's got to be the most unhealthy thing ever. no, there's not a diet that really works where you just eat weird stuff for a week or however long. the best way to lost weight and keep it off is to have a healthy, balanced diet and to exercise. basically, just take care of your body as a lifestyle choice, not as a fad diet.
a girl who have 15 partner, differnt guy to have sex with, is that considering as a whore?
yes.
ok well for valentines day i have like NO money to spend so i was thinking of maybe getting my bf a fake rose and putting a little note in there sayin my love for him will last as long as this flower or something else we will have been dating for 6 months on valentines and and are very much in love and he is a halfway emothional guy do you think he will like it becaus ehe's doing TONS of stuff for me that idk about yet because the are surprises and i want to atleast get him something.
if you were going for original, that's pretty cliche. just about everybody has heard that story about the fake rose or whatever. anyway, since he is a halfway emotional guy, you could always write him a poem, or burn him a cd with cute songs, or burn him a cd with one song and write the lyrics on a sheet of pretty paper (like the song "l.o.v.e." by nat king cole). i like the idea of finding a cute love poem and writing it on a piece of paper. make a homemade card or something too.

which channel is the superbowl on and when does it come on? thanks!
er, well, i didn't see this until after the superbowl ended, but it was on fox and the game started at 5. haha, sorry.
My computer mouse isn't working and I have no idea how to get it. Yes; it's plugged in, I'm not an idiot. It took me about 20 minutes just to figure out how to get the internet open and it takes forever using the keyboard to get everything to work. I've only ever had this problem once before and we realized the mouse wasn't even plugged in which is why I knew to look this time.
My dad says we'll probably have to get a new computer but because this is MY computer I'd have to pay for the new one. I'm the youngest and everyone else has laptops. I graduate in June and we were going to wait until then and my parents were going to get me a laptop for when I go to college but since they can't afford to buy one for me now I'd have to buy the laptop and all of the programs. My mom said she'd pay for half or a $350 maximum depending on the price I get. I'd really rather wait 5 more months so my parents can pay for it than have to buy one now.
My question is - if it seems that the only problem is my mouse not working could I just need a new mouse? My dad is really stubborn and he says we have to just get a new computer. I know that I can afford one myself because I have $4,000 in the bank but I'm paying for college myself and I don't want to have to waste any money on a laptop unless it's absolutely necessary.
Oh, and just so you know, I've already let the computer stay shut down for a while and I've just left it alone for a few hours. Obviously the computer is working just fine - it seems that the mouse is my only problem.
Can getting another mouse work? If so, how much should that cost?
Or should I listen to my dad and just by my own laptop and get it now?
I'm sorry for the length. Oh, and if it helps, we've have the computer for about four years now and we were planning on getting rid of it once I got my laptop (which was supposed to be in mid-June). Thanks in advance. =]
Oh wow, you definitely don't need to buy a new computer! Just go to Wal-Mart or Best Buy and get a ten dollar mouse instead of emptying out your savings. Actually, a lot of people have random mouses (mice?) around their house from an old computer, so if you think one of your friends might have an extra then just borrow it from them. I've had this problem too and a new/different mouse fixed the problem. Before you go buy anything, you might want to make sure there's not any dust in the mouse connector thing or in the mouse port on your computer because that could be the problem too. Anyway, don't go buy a new computer when you can just get a crappy ten dollar mouse (especially if you're going to be getting a new computer in June).
whats so great about the superbowl?
i personally like the commercials. it costs like millions of dollars to get a thirty second commercial during the superbowl. if you go to a superbowl party, the food is good too.
