Ok everyone lets keep this simple. My name is Chris, I am an 18 year old guy. I am also a senior in HS. I am a good listener and even better at giving advice because I have had to deal with a lot of adversity. Anyway, so here is my advice column...

okay theres a girl in my class whos really anoying i hate her and i know this is imature but wishs she would die. she likes me and im afraid that shes going to ask me to dance with her. (we have this stupid rule that sais you are not alowed to reject someone to slowdance) give me some good ideas of how to avoid her. thanks

I know that I am probably not going to get a high rating for this but here is my advice. You have a few options. I personally have had a situation that was JUST like this. When I was in the 8th grade this girl (who is now a friend of mine) asked me early at the dance to slow dance, I didn't want to but I panicked and said "yes". All during the night it was fast dancing so I just danced with other girls and everybody. When the slow dance part came I saw her before she saw me so I went into the bathroom and hid because I didn't want to dance with her. I waited until the very last song, came out of the bathroom and pretended to be looking for her I even asked people where she was just to make it looked like I was trying to find her. Needless to say I did find her but the last song was over. Years later we are friends now but she told me how much she wished I had found her sooner. It hurts a lot knowing that I avoided her on purpose. I did slow dance with her this year at our dance just as friends and it wasn't a big deal at all. I think what you should do is give this girl that one dance and know that you did something really nice for someone else. Or if you absolutely can't do that then I would suggest talking to her before the dance and tell her how you have feelings for someone else and you don't want to hurt her feelings. One more idea is to find a girl you like as a friend or whatever and ask her to the dance, stick with her that night and maybe the other girl will get the idea. Best of luck dude!

Hey. I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade at the moment. Right now I'm registering for high school classes for next year. I'm definitely taking Latin 1. Since there aren't very many honors classes for freshmans, I think I want to take Spanish 1 also (it's not a honors class. I want to take it because I think I can use it a lot in the real world or w/e). My question is, do you think I should take 2 languages?

Thanks.

Let me just start off with this note. Don't take any class "just because its Honors" its the worst idea that there is. 99 times out of 100 you will hate a class if that’s the only reason why you take it. If you want to take both languages do it because you have a passion for both and are interesting in learning both. I took Latin and let me just say that it was EXTEREMLY helpful for the SAT's and by using what I learned from Latin I am able to make an educated guess about the meanings of words I don't know. However, I decided that Latin wasn’t for me so I stopped taking it. I ended up taking Japanese (which I love and am really passionate about but that’s not the point.) Taking two languages isn't easy (but isn’t impossible) and it isn't for everyone, but if you like both languages and are willing to work hard. I say that you take it. (I have a friend who takes 2 and studies other languages on her own. So it’s definitely doable.) On a side note, Latin will be really helpful with not only English but your Spanish too, because a lot of words are derived from Latin roots. Best of luck with your choice!
