I'm in grade 12 english and my idea of a photo essay on power point is that I memorize all the information and with each slide there will be one picture and one sentence and I will show off my knowledge by just talking and expanding on that one point.

But we're also getting marked on the actual presentation, written delivery of message, and biographical information so do you think I should point many points? Because then, wouldn't it seem like I don't know my stuff and that I'm reading off of the board?

Also, I'm focusing on a person who I inspire that had a double amputation but I want to gather the itnerest of classmates first so I thought I'ld introduce the topic of amputation in general. How would I say that? "Before introducing my inspirational person, I'd like to give you a general interest of the human body"? "Before introducing my person, I'd like to introduce the wide range of adversaries other people have faced as well"?

I think you guys can think of something better. Thanks! (I've never done this before so any tips would be greatly appreciated!)

Well first, if you are being graded based on the information on the power point, then by all means, put the information on it! You can show off your knowledge by NOT reading and NOT looking at it unless you need a reference. Just face your audience and talk and even add stuff in the power point doesn't say. That is better because if you just have one sentence you may miss something crucial during the actual presentation whether it be nerves, a distraction, or you are just trying to remember too much. This way you show off and really know what you are talking about.

Don't do the "before" part. Just stated a fact about amputation and go right into your information. It is direct and it is less likely to lose people's attention. The others honestly sound a bit awkward.

i heard a rumor that my parents are gonna get a divorce when igraduate, i believe them but i wish they wouldn't wait. they dont kiss, or even sleep in the same bed or room my mom sleeps in the same room and its irritating. ive actually got my dad to spill a little but i wish there was a way for me to0make them. next year im graduating but ill be tooooo busy.

I understand where you are coming from. The best thing for you to do is talk to them, even if you are feeling a bit uncomfortable about it.

Let them know that you understand that they may not be in love the way they once were and explain your attitude and emotions about the possibility of their divorce.

Most likely if they are waiting till graduation, it is because they don't want it to affect you as much, but if you feel otherwise, just explain it to them and let them know it is okay.

How do I get a popular girl to like me, she flirts with me all the time, but claims she doesnt like me, what should I do?

Pay attention to her and show her that your interested. Popular or not popular, a girl likes a guy's attention, especially if its positive. Just be confident and yourself. The key word is "Claims" she doesn't like you, but girls aren't always so out right with their emotions.

Your best bet is to show her that you are in to her. Talk to her, take her somewhere, flirt back, compliment her, anything. You will be surprised to see how much a little attention can get you.

Confidence is honestly the ultimate attractor. Be assertive and mean what you say, don't just say it to get her to like you. If you are worried about whether she will reject you, that's normal, but if you don't try then you may never find out.

Good Luck!
