I was faced with the same probelm just last year and ended up taking French because my sister was taking it and she could help me. But I think I should have taken Spanish because I will use it more. Hope this helped : )

i have actually heard that french is harder. i used to take spanish and now am in french. i believe its easier. but yet again i could never get a spanish dialect right.
in the US spanish is more common, but in europe and in canada french is more common.
hope this helps.

that's true, french is easier, but spanish is more interesting and keeps you awake, it really depends which really interest you more though. if you take frech and you're lucky, you'll get chocolate Croissants :)

After five years in Spanish, I highly reccomend it. I've had to use my feeble Spanish skills on many occasions, it's much more useful. If there's more work in Spanish than French, it's definitely worth it :)

If you live in the United States, learning Spanish in high school will probably help you more later in life than learning French will.
Bot are challenging, yet fun languages to learn.
Personally, I took Spanish because I believe that, one day, Spanish will probably be the universal language in the US.
Also, if you plan on having a career in business, being bilingual, especially with a very popular language, will help you in the business world.
French is a great language to learn if you ever plan on traveling to France or Canada.
In the end, if you live in the US, Spanish is the practical foreign language to take.
My personal opinion:
Try taking them both. In my high school, you only need 2 classes in the same foreign language. You have 4 years... if you don't need more than 2 years, take both! Yes, it will be challenging. Once you take one, though, it won't be as difficult to learn the other. Spanish and French may not be that much alike, but if you know one, it will be easier to learn the other. Being trilingual is even better than bilingual :)
