What is the complete list of high school stereotypes?

buy online school bags for kids image

osadestmel

No, I'm not trying to be a poser!
I had to do a research project about it and I looked every where.
But you know, people hate stereotypes or are trying to be posers.
So I can't find a straight answer. What is the complete list of high school stereotypes? What is popular or not? What do they wear or shop at? I need to know all details for my project please!!!

Answer
Well I haven't been in high school in a long time and most people stop using labels in their early to mid twenties. But I do remember the high school labels well, lol. After you realize that they are basically just an almost tribal method of accepting and discriminating against others without any real basis on character you stop using them.

Anyway, here is a list of high school stereotypes I remember and my completely shallow, unfair, judgmental, and superficial definitions of them.

Prep: Usually some type of clothing label whore, will often wear clothing that is considered chique, listens to top 40s pop and rock music, very concerned with the opinions of peers and popular people in general, not very capable of having an intellectually stimulating conversation, known for having bad (or at least bland) tastes in movies, music, television shows, etc., very judgmental towards people they consider inferior (goths, punks, nerd, etc.)

Nerd: Usually quiet, known for having a bizarre sense of humor, typically obsessed with some sort of niche entertainment medium (comics, computers, anime, drama, band, etc.), usually do well in school, have explosive anger problems when pushed (nerd rage), not popular with opposite (or same) sex, usually don't particularly care about fashion, socially awkward, dislike most sports.

Jock: Typically makes satisfactory grades, obsessed with image, known for getting away with a bit more than the average student, popular, total douche-bags, however they are generally pleasant, very active in dating (or whatever those two week mini-relationships are called), listen to very cliche power rock, have strict parents

Emo: generally think that the whole world is against them and/or there is no point in existence, depressed, find extreme ways of expressing themselves (hair, accessories, art, etc.), listen to bands that deal in depressing and bleak subject matter and fail to realize that those bands are so rich that they probably have no real problems and are just trying to sell records to poor depressed kids (linkin park, afi, boxcar racer, etc), purchases clothing from hot topic, dislikes authority figures, many parallels with "nerds", reclusive, typically have very "normal" home lives

Punk: Very outspoken, listens to a mix of semi-undeground punk/rockabilly/ska (addicts, operation ivy, tiger army, black flag, all, etc.), have a strong leaning toward a certain political position but usually can't defend/debate their possition very well, generally loaths hot topic, are quick to call others "poser", strongly dislike pop-punk bands (greenday, Blink 182, rise against, etc) although most punks will admit to liking at least one, into various counter-culture things (tattoos, facial piercings, veganism, extreme hairstyles, etc) solely for the sake of trying to upset the status quo, purchase most of clothing from concerts or internet, typically get involved in hard drugs at some point, more than likely in a band or trying to start a band

Goth: Usually snarky, generally angry, socially awkward, obsessed with anything that has a slight macabre asthetic, listens to a mix of synth-heavy music (industrial, neo-goth, 80s mix, Edm, etc), most likely smokes, expresses self through clothing/art, generally have a bleak outlook, however it is much less bleak that with the "emo" kid, might have a strange obsession with a slightly macabre book/movie like twilight or things related to tim burton or vasquez, usually buys cloths online or makes them, dresses similar to the emo kid but a bit more elaborate

Indie kid: Likes any type of music, film, fashion, etc. that is "indie" (being on an independant label), dislikes almost anything that could be considered mainstream, most likely involved in music or art, looks down on most popular people, generally aloof and carefree, inflated ego, strongly dislike being labeled, being an indie kid is the first step to becomeing a full on hipster (google it), because what is considered indie or unerground changes with the seasons it is hard to desscribe how they dress, most likely slightly frumpy

That one person everyone seems to like that doesn't really fit into a catagory: Everyone likes this person, he/she isn't really bothered by a whole lot of anything, usually into a wide variety of things and tries (often successfully) to get along with everyone, dresses moderately and usually has a good sense of humor, probably a bit conservative (against smoking, drinking, etc.)

Thug: listens exclusively to rap/hip hop or Hardcore/metal, tries to show peers how "hard" he is and is known for acting tough and fearless, tries often to intimidate others, is constantly trying to impress others, most likely is into something really nerdy or dangerous to image but fears telling others, bad self esteem, strong chance of failing at life in general but at least they got to be a tough guy in high school right?, could turn into one of the other steriotypes at any moment

Hope this is helpful. I'll add more later when I think of someting, but this is what's at the top of my head. Like I said earlier, these labels cease to be relevant after highschool for the most part and are completely obsolete after college. Hope your project turns out well!

What is the best way to get rid of saddle bags??

AlienX

I used to play soccer when I was in high school and have always been active and on a low fat diet, but they don't seem to go away. I have a tiny waist but always have to buy my pants two sizes bigger just to fit in the lower half. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Answer
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if youâre trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

Here are two articles on how to break through a weight loss plateau:
http://www.webmd.com/content/article/86/99147.htm
http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/18/102117.htm

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid âHigh Glycemic Load Carbsâ (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

What does Veterans Day personally mean to you?

school bags for boys in canada image

ilovepink2

I'm just curious.

Answer
Veterans are so incredible I cry when ever I see one, hear one or read about one. My father fought in WWII on the front lines in France and Germany and had many metals but would never talk about it until one year before his death my sister and I went to visit him and we told him we were going to make a book about him and that his grand kids will want to know what happened that he would get the metals. He hung his head, my sister and I glanced at each other and teared up as we knew it was so painful. Finally He started talking and went on for 15 minutes and then he stopped and said "I can't say any more, its just too much". We were thankful for what he did share and know that so many have given so much. I was in high school at the beginning of the Viet Nam war. I graduated in 1965 and moved to California and would go with co-workers to meet the sailors coming off the ships like the USS Hancock in Alameda. We would make regular visits to Oak Knoll hospital in Oakland with bags of cookies to visit guys our age who had been to Viet Nam and were convalescing. They would talk about their experiences and you need to know that the 60s were years of the greatest change in American history. If you get the chance to see the documentaries on the 60s on the History , Discovery or A&E channels, please watch them. There was an active mandatory draft for all boys turning 18 years old.at that time and many moved to Canada. I so honor all those who served and currently serving in the military. My auto license plates are personalized with the Air Force Emblem as my boy friend had joined the AF and went to Viet Nam and came back so traumatized he spent months in a psych hospital. I had to move on and met my husband who was a Vet. How do you say thanks to people who are willing to give their lives for our freedom?
Now to Veterans Day coming up on Nov. 11th I encourage teenagers to buy an American Flag and give it to their fathers or mothers in honor of their dedication to the branch of the military they served in and to contact the ROTC in their high school to participate in the half time of a football game close to that date. There is a web site
http://soldiersangels.com where you can join and do so much for our warriors on so many levels. Please let your friends know about this as it doesn't cost any money to join. Even writing a letter to a warrior that the people who run the web site have names and APO address for you to send letters or more to. It is a great feeling to know that you are an official Soldiers Angel.... please get together with others and join. Just in writing this I'm tearful.... these people deserve any thing we can do for them. Thank you so much for asking..... great question.

what is the title of the book about a swan or duck who plays a trumpet and inspiration is louis armstrong?

question

Answer
The Trumpet of the Swan is a children's novel by E.B. White published in 1970. It tells the story of Louis, a Trumpeter Swan born without a voice and trying to overcome it by learning to play a trumpet, always trying to impress a beautiful pen named Serena.

In Canada one spring, a male (cob) and female Trumpeter Swan build their summer nest on a small island in a pond. Sam Beaver, an 11-year-old boy on a camping trip, observes them, and saves the female from being attacked by a fox. The swans begin to trust him, and Sam gets to see their five eggs hatch. All of the cygnets chirp at Sam in greeting, except for the youngest, who can make no sound and pulls his shoelace instead.

The cygnets' parents are increasingly concerned about their youngest son, Louis, who turns out to be mute. They worry that when he grows up, he will not be able to find a mate if he cannot trumpet like all the other swans. Louis' father promises to find a way for him to communicate. At the end of summer, the swan family flies to the winter refuge, Red Rock Lakes in Montana. Louis decides he should learn to read and write in order to communicate, and flies away from the refuge. Because Sam Beaver lives nearby, he happily takes his swan friend to school with him the next morning. Louis turns out to be a natural at reading and writing, and Sam buys him a portable blackboard and chalk so he can communicate.

Unfortunately, because the other swans cannot read, Louis is still lonely when he returns to the Red Rock Lakes. He falls in love with a young swan, Serena, but cannot attract her attention. Louis's father flies to a music store in Billings, Montana, crashes through the window, and steals a brass trumpet on a cord to give to his son. Louis feels guilty about his father's theft, but accepts the instrument. Serena has migrated north, so Louis returns to Sam's ranch. Sam suggests that Louis get a job so he can pay the store for the trumpet and the damaged window, and Louis finds a position as camp bugler at Camp Kookooskoos, the boys' camp Sam attends.

Louis plays taps, reveille, and mess call, and composes a love song for Serena. He convinces Sam to split one of his webbed feet with a razor blade, making "fingers," so he can play more notes. He also rescues Applegate Skinner, an unpopular camper who nearly drowns. At the end of summer, Louis receives a medal for bravery, a waterproof money bag, and $100. Sam suggests that Louis get a job with the Swan Boats in Boston. He flies across country and becomes an instant success, with a salary of $100 per week. He even stays in the Ritz Hotel.

A Philadelphia nightclub offers Louis a higher salary, $500 per week. He leaves Boston and takes up residence at the Philadelphia Zoo. The zookeeper promises that Louis will not be pinioned (have a wing tip cut off to prevent escape) like all the other swans at the zoo. One windy night, Serena, blown off course, falls into Bird Lake. Louis serenades her with his trumpet, and she finally notices him. But when the zookeepers spot Serena, they try to clip her wings, and Louis attacks them. He convinces the Head Man to postpone the operation for a short while, and sends a telegram to Sam, asking for help. Sam goes to Philadelphia and strikes a deal with the Head Man: in every litter of cygnets there is always one that needs special care and protection, and if Louis is willing to donate an occasional cygnet to the zoo, the Head Man will let Louis and Serena go free.

Louis and Serena fly back to the Red Rock Lakes. Louis writes an apology on his slate and gives it and the moneybag to his father, who flies back to the music store in Billings. Afraid that the swan will destroy another window, the storekeeper shoots the old cob in the shoulder. The cob recovers and flies back to the Red Rock Lakes. In the spring, Louis and Serena fly north, back to the lake Louis was born at. Over the years, they raise many cygnets and travel around the

My boyfriend is graduating from law school and I want to get him a gift?

Jess

I was thinking of getting him a briefcase/computer bag for work because he doesn't have one. I want to get him a nice brand/looking one that has a shoulder strap but I don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money. Can someone give me suggestions? I don't really know what brand of bags is a good one.

Answer
If you don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money, it would probably be better to buy him a nice pen, or a couple of ties (lawyers wear a lot of suits).

A lawyer's work bag / briefcase needs to look elegant and professional, and a good one will cost you at least $100. You can get a good one for around $100, but a really "impressive" one will cost $300+; lawyers in firms sometimes spend up to $1000 on a good work bag. (On the other hand, lawyers working for the government, or for non-profits, often use canvas messenger bags similar to what students use, because they tend to make less money and don't want to waste it or look like a showoff. But lawyers working for law firms need expensive leather bags, especially if they will be taking the bags to court.) In my case I use a soft-sided leather briefcase (with strap) from Gucci, which I bought at a really good sale.

These days most young lawyers are wearing leather messenger-style bags with shoulder straps like you described, or soft-sided leather briefcases with a strap, rather than hard briefcases. (Older lawyers tend to like "real" hard briefcases with no strap.) But leather is key. Black leather is best, as it will match all different colors of suits/clothes, but brown leather is also appropriate if you know it will fit your boyfriend's wardrobe.

Here are some examples of what to look for. I'm linking to Amazon.com because they sell lots of different brands (via their partner companies) and offer some really good discounts, but you don't have to buy one of these. If you prefer to shop elsewhere or go to a store in the mall, just look for something in this style. (But if you go to a store in the mall, it will cost more, as they don't usually have discounts on these kinds of bags.)

Leather messenger bag, Kenneth Cole, $85:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FZA3V0?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001FZA3V0

Soft-sided briefcase, Tandi, $280
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001M6UVEG?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001M6UVEG

This soft-sided briefcase (with shoulder strap) from Kenneth Cole is a good deal at $110, because Amazon is selling it for over 50% off retail price. And of course, Kenneth Cole is a good brand.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V394G6?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001V394G6

Leather messenger bag, Moderm, $230:
http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=starbase280b&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=B002B0B6DC

If you want a cheaper one than what I listed above, this Samsonite hard-sided briefcase that also has a strap is a good deal at just $79, because Amazon is selling it at 70% off the retail price of $280. I think that $280 price is probably inflated. But it's a good deal at $79, and Samsonite is a very good brand. While I personally don't like the style of this one as much as the others above, it is still high quality enough for a lawyer.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LX0JNI?ie=UTF8&tag=starbase280b&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001LX0JNI

Now, if you really wanted a bag with "wow" factor, you could go for this one from Louis Vuitton--but that will require a ridiculous amount of money, more than you should spend right now.
http://www.louisvuitton.com/web/flash/index.jsp?direct1=cate&direct2=homme&direct3=cat10001&direct4=cat1410031&direct5=cat1410036&direct6=prod1380025&langue=en_US&buy=1
Maybe as a 10 year anniversary gift or something. :) For now, the bags I listed above are much more affordable and are all very good, professional bags/briefcases suitable for a lawyer.

Do NOT go to the "replica handbags" site recommended by the poster above. If you buy your boyfriend a replica bag (i.e. fake), his colleagues will eventually notice that it's fake, and some of them will think bad things.

What does it cost to get a private pilot's license?

Alberto Ci

I know there's ground school and I heard around 70 hours of flying. Can you tell me how much all this would cost for a small airplane like a Cessna 150?

Answer
The cost depends HEAVILY on the time you actually take to finish and the hourly costs for the aircraft and instructor. A Cessna 152 can rent from $59/hr at a flying club to over $70/hr at a pricey flight school.

Get C152 rental rates near you here- http://www.private2atp.com/ft_finder.php

An example cost break down if your training was completed in the FAA MINIMUM required time (40 hours not 44) with some averaged rental rates:

* Third Class Medical $65
* 40 hours C172 rental @ $62/hr = $2,480
* 30 hours Flight Instruction @ $30/hr = $900
* Misc pilot supplies (see list) $300
* FAA Computerized Written Exam Fee $70
* Examiner fee $250
_____________________
Private Pilot cost = $4,065


A student that finishes their training closer to the national average of 65 hours flight time will pay approximately

* Third Class Medical $65
* 65 hours C172 rental @ $62/hr = $4,030
* 55 hours Flight Instruction @ $30/hr = $1,650
* Misc pilot supplies $300
* FAA Computerized Written Exam Fee $70
* Examiner fee $250
_____________________
Private Pilot cost = $6,365

Many schools advertise a price for the PPL, but that only cover the 40 hour student. If they go over that, then it costs more. Some areas of the country or certain airport have very pricey rental rates. Shop around before you commit. Check into any flying clubs in your area as they are often less expensive as they have no staff or overhead to pay for.

Figure costs with your rental rates here- http://www.firstflight.com/features/cost...

Example supplies needed:
Jeppesen Private Pilot Manual $72
"FAR/AIM" book (regulations & operating rules) $19
Pilot logbook $13
Navigation Plotter $11
An "E6B" Flight Computer $13

What can kids do to help out the environment and their community if they don't live in a neighborhood?

STEVE

If the kids are around 12-14 what is the best jobs that they can do to help out in their community and environment if we don't live in or near a neighborhood?

Answer
You mean you live on a farm? You have no neighbors at all? The nearest town is miles away? And you are home schooled and therefore never interact with other kids?

I suspect not.

NetAid has programs specifically for students in North America who want to help in the developing world. NetAid is now a part of MeryCorps
http://www.netaid.org
Many kids get involved with NetAid as individuals, then start a group at school to get other kids involved.

TakingIT Global is another resource for young people in the USA who want to do something to affect the situation positively in developing countries
www.takingitglobal.org/

http://www.change.org can help you know what causes are out there and how you can get involved with them.

You can also type in your city or zip code into:
VolunteerMatch, http://www.volunteermatch.org
Idealist, http://www.idealist.org
CraigsList, http://www.craigslist.com
Network for Good, http://www.networkforgood.org
http://www.1-800-volunteer.org/
ServeNet, http://servenet.org/

You can also look for ways to change your own family's practices regarding the environment: do you compost? do you have a garden? do you use your own cloth bags when you go to the grocery or other shopping instead of paper or plastic? have you replaced some of your light bulbs with energy-saving ones? do you put on a sweater when you are cold instead of turning up the heat? do you turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth? do you ride your bike or walk or take mass transit instead of always riding in a car? do you turn off the TV when you aren't watching it? do you unplug things when they are not in use?

Bedroom ideas for 3 boys?

kids dinosaur backpacks for school image

J

My three sons are going to be sharing one bedroom. They are aged 6 1/2, 4 and 4. The bedroom that is going to be theirs is pretty large (14-4tf X 12ft) and has a bathroom and a large closet. Does anyone have any ideas on how to organize and arrange the three kids in one room? I would to give them some space away from each other. Any themes are appreciated as well. Thanks!
I'm going to put this question in the parenting section too, in case anyone has ever been in my situation.

Answer
I like the idea of two sets of twin bunk beds, also. In particular, this is better than:

-three separate beds eating all your floor space.
-a double on bottom, twin on top bunk that would sleep all of them now but they can't stay this way for long...how long can two boys sleep together in a double bed?
-a loft-type system that can be dangerous if you don't execute it properly, and expensive if you buy a kit or have it done professionally.
-PLUS you get room for a buddy to sleep over.
-AND you have room for the twins to be at ground level and your older son to be up top like the big boy he is. As they grow up and top bunk is more inconvenient than cool, and anyone can be up there safely, they can rotate the sleeping arrangements.

As for storage spaces, I would say like with the beds, you need to go up where you can. Just don't put things so high that kids can't safely reach and do for themselves. As they get taller and more coordinated you will have more freedom to build up.

I don't know how you feel about individuality and where you draw the lines. I think each kid should definitely be allowed his own things, and personality, of course this is true. But you might consider some things community property to be stored together and shared among them...some of their toys and books and media, more expensive stuff like their TV and game systems and maybe some sports equipment...

One thing I would do if I had three young boys that close in age is extend this principle to socks and maybe even underwear too. I would gather up every one of their current socks and toss them out...and replace them with 50-60 or so pairs of IDENTICAL cheap white socks for them all to share. Keep dirty in the bathroom in a big roughtote or maybe even a kitchen style wastebasket with a swinging lid, labelled boys whites...wash them all together once a week in hot with bleach to keep them sanitary and bright...dump them unfolded into another container for storage of clean. This eliminates the drama of pairing up socks and sorting among people, and the waste if any get ruined or go missing. You might keep another (smaller) collection of identical black dress socks. Clean out and replace everything every year, maybe in the spring when you are spring cleaning and organizing, and when you aren't already saddled with back to school expenses or holiday gifts. This might be a hundred dollars or so expense every year. A small price to pay for such convenience all year. I think you can get at least another five years out of the collective sock arrangement. You might have to abandon the underwear clause a little sooner hahahh.

As for decor, I would go with a larger theme for the room, and each kids personal things...their dresser, their desk, their backpack, can be done in a particular element of that theme to both express themselves and distinguish their stuff. A bit like color coding but a little more descriptive I guess.

Animal themes abound...could do the room in the big theme and each kid decorates their stuff with an animal...you could do farm (duck, goat, horse) pets (dog, cat, hamster) dinosaurs (bronto, stego, pterydactyl) bugs (grasshopper, spider, bee) zoo (zebra, elephant, giraffe) etc. You could do sports...do the room to look like a stadium or locker room or sportscasters studio, or hang jerseys and display sports equipment. Each kid gets a separate team...or same sport, each kid rocks pro-college-their school, or each kid decorates with a different sport. You could do music...album covers or music notes, etc...and each kid gets a different singer or band or rapper, or each kid gets a different instrument. You could do games...decorate with vintage game boards, and get lamps and furniture that resemble game pieces. Each kid could be cards, dominoes, and dice. You could do a cartoon room...each kid decorates with a different cartoon. Or do a Disney room and each kid gets a different character. You could do bright colors and everyone gets a different shape...circles, squares, triangles.

Schools in Korea questions?

Seung Gi

These are my questions:


1. I am not Korean and I am planning to study in Korea, is it hard to adjust?
2. Is that true that private schools in Korea are strict and most of the students stay at school until 11 PM?
3. I am 14 years old and turning 15 on October, what grade will I be in?
4. How many subjects do schools in Korea have and what are they?
5. Do schools in Korea have education about religions? I am Born-Again Christian.
6. When do school year start and end? June until March or August/September until May/June?
7. If Korea is known to be good in Science, Math and Reading, why most of the Koreans prefer to study in the Philippines? I've seen A LOT back then in the PH. Seriously!!!!!!!!!!!

And lastly.... Do you think I should pursue the plan of studying in Korea instead of studying in USA?

Please answer my questions.
PS: I don't know how to speak Korean! I don't understand Hangul, too. I am Filipino-Chinese. I am fluent in Filipino and English.

Answer
I don't want to sound discouraging or anything, but all I'll say will be the truth.

1. It will be possibly the hardest thing you will ever do. People complain about some material that is hard at school already, now try learning it in a language that is in no way similar to yours. A dictionary will have to follow you everywhere you go and scientific terms, higher level vocab will usually not show up. Concepts and formulas will also have to be understood in a language you do not speak. Try learning calculus (diffrential and integral), biology, organic chemistry, etc in a language you confess you do not know (watching some TV will not be enough...)

2. Korean students will go to ordinary school (typically around 7) to around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. They will go to various private academies (hagwons) afterwards, so you will be out of the house until around midnight. Kids often leave their house in the morning with breakfast in their mouth and lunch+dinner in their bags. Since you are paying to go to the private academies, you will be pressured from home to do well. Private schools are not very big in Korea, however private academies are and they are everywhere.

3. You'd be in the 8th or 9th grade (remember you'd be adding another year to your life b/c the Korean age system is different). However, I'd highly advise you to drop down a grade or so b/c unless you are Einstein's successor, you will not pass. Korean students do this when they go to the States b/c they cannot manage a workload in a language they don't know even though it is easier material.

4. It would depend on the school. Math, English, Chinese, Science, Korean, and History would all be subjects in school.

5. Schools will typically not have classes about theology or religion. That will have to be done by you on your own time, but there may be exceptions.

6. The Korean education calendar is a bit different from what you might be used to. School would start in the summer until December where students will have a 2 month break (December and January). When they come back, they will go to school until July or June where they would have another month off. So there is a 2 month winter break and a 1 month summer break in the school year from the summer until the summer. Exact months and days will vary.

7. Korea is known to be one the top countries in education by numerous international studies. Koreans do not move to Korea for math or science. They would typically study in the Philippines for the English education that is available there at a much lower cost. The warmer climate is also attractive and the Filipino government encourages immigrants from Korea for economic reasons.

8. If you know English fluently, then I highly advise you to study in the US. It will be much easier for you to do so. To be honest, you always hear from Korean immigrants talking about how much easier school in the States is compared to Korea. I have cousins that are three years younger than me and are in Korea who do subject material that is only a year behind me (I live in the States). The only time they're at home during school weeks are for sleep except for maybe 2 or 3 hours. And this will be months on end. You will essentially be going to school on the weekends as well through the private academies (they will basically last just as long). Also, this will sound absurd, you will attend these private academies over the breaks as well. Of course, since these are private academies, it's completely up to you on whether to attend them or not, however I can nearly guarantee you that you'll fall behind if you don't.

Good luck to you and I'm sorry if I sounded excessively pessimisstic, but this is based on my own experience and from what I hear all the time. If you study in the US for highschool, you may be able to attend a semester or two of college in Korea; however, with what you've told me so far, it will be very difficult for you to succeed in school in Korea (unless you are a frickin genius of course :P)

dont know what to do about my neighbour?

ben 10 school bags for kids image

diamond

Hi I am a single parent to my 2 children who are 5 and 3, My husband left when I was pregnant with my son so I had to move into a flat, I live above a hairdressing shop and my neighbor lives on the same floor, it is just me and him and we share a stairwell and a front door. He lives alone.

I have been leaving the downstairs down unlocked lately because I had deliveries for christmas coming between 7am and 6pm. I have lived here about 6 months longer than my neighbour and in that time I have never had a complaint and my old neighbour also let the door stairs down stay unlocked as we have very secure doors to our flats anyway and it was easier for post.

My neighbour has lived there for about 10 months and is now starting to complain about the door being left unlocked, he said it wakes him up and started to lock it so all my parcels have started to go to the hairdressing shop... He also called the post office and complained about them putting post through the door. He also called the grocery shop and complained that they used that door too. My flat is hard to find from the back the front is on the main road so it is easier to find and better to use, the back stair well is very steep and made of narrow concrete steps which I prefer not to walk my kids up and down so we use the front door to go to school and stuff... Also he is complaining about my buzzer being to loud and today I forgot my keys when I went on the school run, My Boyfriend was asleep during his split shift ( he doesn't live here) so my daughter rang the buzzer to wake him up and let us in. My neighbour complained about my buzzer being rung. He went down the stairs to the front down, locked it then shook it very hard, which terrified my kids, then he went to the back door of my flat and complained to me that the door should always be locked. I asked him why it was a problem and he told me that since he has no job he likes to stay up til 6am so he sleeps until 4pm and the door wakes him up. Mostly the door doesnt go until midday at the earliest. He smokes weed and I cant have my windows open because it makes my flat stink so now I have to bleach out mold. I have anxiety also and during the night he bangs so loud I wake up having anxiety attacks.

I would move but I can't afford it and I have used what little money I have left over to make this place really lovely for the kids, We live on a main road with shops and their school is only up the road, this is perfect for us I really dont want to move, what else can I do?? I tried to find out his letting agency but my letting agency do not know and there was not really any help they could offer me... any advice welcome x
thanks Leanha but unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees and I cant afford the deposit and 1st months rent for a new place right now. My tenancy doesn't run out for another 6 months either and I cant afford to buy myself out of it. I never had any problems for the whole time I've been here.
also I live in the south west which is over populated and is hard to find a property up to par and in my price range so moving isnt as easy as that x
haha marcus no i wish he did he might be quiet during the night then.. he plays heavy metal music through the night and plays his guitar.....

Answer
This guys a prick, watchh the Duplex with Ben stiller haha. I know i have a sleeping disorder and if someone wakes me up at 5am (which really is an unacceptable time) i cant go back to sleep and i still dont treat people this way.,

hes sleeping till 4pm(its not like he works a graveyard shift), and expects the world to orbit around his ridiculous sleeping schedule. Next time he pulls a stunt like violently shaking the door call the cops for disorderly conduct, with children involved they wont take it lightly. I know its a low blow, but hes a lazy scum bag, and obviously has no respect for you or your children.

Also avoid confrontation when alone with this guys, sounds like he has anger problems

I'm confsued about Wicked (1998)?

Ryan

I began watching Wicked on Lifetime, and then fell asleep about halfway through. I woke up and saw the murder of the main character (the creepy 14 year old) and then the whole thing with the mask and the little girl crying at the very end.

So, I'm confused. Is the little girl the murderer? and if so, why? I think I missed something :p

Answer
Here's actually how the whole story goes and this might make more since, 'cause I own the movie myself:
The 14 year old girl, Ellie (Julia Stiles) is obviously an outcast as she gets picked on at school, is rejected by the neighborhood kids and denied attention from both her parents. Her Mother is having an affair with the father and we immediately see ( within the first 10-15 minutes of the film) that Ellie knows all about it, due to the spying she does through the cemented wall between their houses. Since Ellie resents her Mother for her love affair, rigid nature, and complaint about everything she does, she kills her the same morning her Mother pushes one too many of her buttons by disapproving of her make-up that her own Dad had bought her. We, as an audience are tricked because of all Ellie's crying and false greif until near the end of the movie, it is made CLEAR than SHE murdered her Mother because near the end of the film, she opens her pink suitcase, in which she fantasized about using as a runaway accessory, and pulls out her Mother's wedding ring and Greek drama mask. You'll notice Ellie used the sad-face drama mask to muder her Mother, because her Mother put in in such depression and angst. Later after Ellie's father, Ben and Lena get married, Ellie's younger sister, Inger finds Ellie's pink suitcase and discovers the bloody mask inside, only to be in shock of what her sister has been hiding all these past months. Inger soon decides that she has had enough of Ellie's anger, selfishness and bratty nature and kills her to avenge her Mother's death when Ellie is momentarily disabled because of the glass shard impaled into her foot, this time using the happy-face drama mask, because according to Inger, getting rid of Ellie was a happy change and a drastic improvement in the family's life: no anger, hostility or teen chaos. Once Lena finds the mask in Inger's school bag hours later, she automatically realizes that Ben is now in danger, in which she will be too if she doesn't warn him in time about his next murderous daughter. Lena covers her mouth in incredible shock and the film just ends there, most likely because of how crazy poor Lena went after realizing she has ANOTHER wicked little girl on her plate. After all, it is strongly suggested that Inger inherited her now dead sister's evil and persistence to kill whenever and whoever when not getting her way.

I hope this helps!!!!<3

What would you do if a school shooting was at your school?

marinefish

Today in language arts we were talking about teen violence in and out of school. Me an my friend were talking about how we would escape and all that. Tell me how you would escape in every class period if some people started a school shooting as soon as they came to the front of your school.What defense do you carry with you every day and how would you feel? What kind of kids would start it?
The kids of a shooting 10 years ago were laughing a joking while they were shooting, saying things like peakaboo and then killing, like the joker

Answer
Oh wow, I have no idea what I would do...my friend Nick would know what to do. He'd be the guy to smack them over the head with some kind of metal object.

I would feel disgusted with myself if I escaped and others got hurt...like it seems as though everyone should stick together in that kind of situation. I don't carry any kind of defense with me...maybe I should though, jeesh, what a scary thought! Ah well I'm a chick so I always have an excuse to carry around pepper spray. Though that probably wouldn't do any good against a person armed with a gun. I dunno...

Well I guess the kind of kids who would start it would be the people who were so beaten down by everyone else that they felt they had no choice but revenge...I don't think there's anyone like that in my school, at least I hope not. Most of the "nerds" in my school have more friends than the popular kids, so I would like to think nothing like that would happen.

That's just sick, that someone could actually laugh while killing someone. Thanks for the interesting question...I think I'm gonna get me one of them bullet-proof backpacks.

How much do I spend on gift for 6 year old school birthday party?

school bags for kids on wheels image

sportbomin

My son was invited to one of his classmate's birthday party. Is it ok to spend $10-$15 on the kid's present?

Answer
I think that it is totally fine to have a limit of $10-$15 for a classmate. My daughter is 11 and for her "close" friends, we usually spend $20 max.

My 6 year old was invited to a party for a friend (not close) and he picked out a package of Hot Wheels for $4.97 and another car for $2.97.

I usually try (after Christmas) to pick up gift bags for 50% to 75% off the regular price. This year I bought solid blue, solid red, solid white bags for $.22 each. I also bought plain white tissue paper and striped tissue paper for $.50. I try to stock up on these types of items as well as the clearance toys to give as gifts throughout the year.

My kids make birthday cards instead of buying them. Kids don't really care about a store bought card, but they seem to like the home made cards best.

Goody bag ideas for a race-car themed birthday party?

ShareKnowl

I have boys and girls attending the party. Age range 2-12. Need ideas for cheap goody bags. Preferably a single item. No candies . Thanks a bunch.

Answer
I would get car themed coloring books/pages and print off internet to put in bag with crayola crayons usually .25 or 50 cents in back to school sales.

Why do goody bags? We never did.

Why not do a take home art project of make a car from boxes (free at grocery store), Cut cardboard wheels out, color with crayon or paint. Let them do a Fred Flintstone race by standing in their box, holding it up in the air and running. Cheap and entertaining and more memorable souvenir than a cheap goody bag. duct tape straps over the shoulder can help hold car up for small kids...

How does wearing a heavy backpack effect your back?

best backpacks for kids backs image

Insight

At school, I can my binders, 2-3 textbooks, and my note books all in my backpack. I use both shoulders, and someone told me that having all that in my bag will increase my chance of scolosis? Oh, it's about 20 lbs.

Answer
Carrying heavey wights can compress your disk and cause ruptured disk in your back. The small bone down your spine are seperated by disk. These disk have a center like mayo and an outside cover like leather. When you compress them too far the mayo stuff will push out into a bludge. This buldge can press against your spinal cord. Usually pressing against the nerves going down the legs causing a lot of pain if you life or move a certian way.
If you compress the disk too far the mayo stuff ruptures the cover of the disk and shoots into the spinal area. This mayo stuff will harded in a few week and be like crab meat rubbing constantly against the nerves. Here again usually the nevers that go down the legs all the way to the big toe.
Back operations are only 20% sucessful.
Tell you parents you do not want to hurt your back and have them call the school. I did this for my kids and they sent a set of books home for my sons to keep at home. He also has a set in his locker at school.
Remember once you hurt your back you are old for the rest of your life.
The pain is only the beginning for a back injury. The lack of sleep will nearly drive you crazy if your not careful.
I have had 8 back operations by the way.
Don't go see a Surgeon if you hurt your back!
Surgeons CUT! That is what they do, go see a regular doctor first. He will tell you to walk and keep weight down. Thats it.
So don't hurt your back.
There is nothing out there worth lifting, pulling or pushing that is wirth nearly a life time of pain and sleeplessness.
Got tell your principle that your back is hurting from the heavey load and you need help! If your parent won't call them for you.

How to act out a funny gym teacher character?

...

I'm going to nationals in speech and debate for humorous interp, which is where you basically act out an entire play yourself, including all the characters with no props. All you can use is body language and your voice, and actions of course. I have to use exactly whats in the script, no improv or extra words thrown in. My piece is about a little kid's first day of kindergarten and its super funny.. so basically my question is,

What are some things I can do to make my gym teacher character more distinct from other characters in my piece and at the same time make it funny?

Examples: One character (the nerd) is always holding the straps of an imaginary backpack
The "cool kid" is always slicking back his hair and adjusting an imaginary tie
The "crazy kid' speaks unevenly and twitches

I'm stuck on what to do with the gym teacher..

Answer
Easy.

Try a drill sargent.

A very bumbling, non-athletic type.

A very by-the-book with rules lawyer type, regulation and contract papers to fill out for insurance purposes and an accident prevention speech.

A germ-a-phobia type that really is afraid of kids and what they may carry.

An old timer, slow and even sleepy kind of over-the-hill and beyond retirement.

Or, the overbearing and self centered, 'Olympian'. Sports medicine graduate and career person.

Have at it.

What school supplies? I've read you should just bring Pencils, pens and a notebook the very first few days. Is this true?

What should I buy at the mall today?

funky school bags for kids image

xxCUTIE!xx

I'm going to the mall today...where should I go & what should I buy? I'm 14 and I like to shop at Hollister, Abercrombie Kids, and Abercrombie&Fitch. Only sometimes do I shop at Wet Seal and AE. I hate Aeropostale! What are some must haves for back to school? How many tees, jeans, hoodies... should I buy in all? Also, links would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
im 14 too !! ..

, shop for loose fitting tops with high waists and pair them with leggings or jeans. Or choose empire-waisted, roomy dresses with hemlines that come above the knee. Finish the look off with feminine flat shoes and her Back to School look is sweet, playful and modern.

the must haves r
jeans , Girls' Printed Puff-Sleeved Babydoll Top ( u can find it in old navy ) , a pair of funky boots , Charm Bracelet , cool hoody , fun dress ( limted too ) , jazzy bag (ebags.com ) , colorful outfit , colorful accessorise ( claires ) , make- up ( cover girl or u can find 'em at claires ) .

What should I wear on my first day of High School?

lorden411

I need help i have no idea what to wear! Please help.

Answer
Keep it simple!

The first day of schoolmeans it's a time for renewal in teen fashion (read: a time to find a great new look!).

The first day of school is the first appearance you have after three whole months - make it a good one, because first impressions matter.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your big debut ensemb:

Keep things simple and classic, nothing in-your-face or over the top.
It's okay to be a little trendy, but you have to adapt the trends to your personal style, or you'll end up looking like a major trend-chaser.
Put on the confidence! If you don't have it, fake it. When you aren't doubting yourself, no one else will doubt you or your clothing choices.

Create the Outfit

The idea behind a great first-day-of-school is a killer ensemble.

Just make sure you can back up your outfit and will keep your dressing pattern consistent - don't wear an ultra trendy, right-off-the-runway look and then turn around and wear simple jeans & a tee combo the rest of the year.

Look good, but nothing too dressy or attention-grabbing (only exception is if that's the look you're going for the whole school year!).

Here are several looks to consider for a first day style:

Chic & understated. Black tee with dark denim hipsters, black boots, low-slung black belt, plus an oversized eye-catching necklace in turquoise, silver, or coral. Tres chic!
One part western, one part sophisticated. Distressed bootcut jeans, fitted striped oxford (stay away from plaid to avoid a complete cowgirl look), fringed belt, and pointy-toe boots. Remember to coordinate shoes and belt!
Athletic-inspired. Although a too-cute track suit is absolutely perfect for any other school day, it's just too casual. Instead, wear a sleek, colorful hoodie in terry or velour with a sharp denim mini, fitted tank, and bright new sneaks.
Updated Gypsy. Change the vibe of serious chino trousers (low-rise, a little baggy, but still chic) with a hippie-esque embroidered peasant top. Throw on a few beaded bracelets and add a pair of semi-dressy kitten-heeled sandals.

Add the accessories

Accessories definitely make or break the clothing. The perfect shoe & belt combination, plus jewelry is required for any great look.

Here arethree things that you need to fully accessorize this school year:

Chandelier earrings. So elegant, yet so easy to pull off! These gorgeous jewels look just as great with an evening gown as they do with a feminine top and denim.
Trendy sneaks. Required both for those stylishly sporty and those just plain stylish. A great pair of sneaks can take you anywhere.
Boots. Whether you choose a sleek black or distressed brown leather style, the look will definitely be hot!

Important stuff

Your school necessities should be funky and fresh, just like your style.

Search for cool versions of old classics - denim or corduroy messenger bags, bright backpacks, cute notebooks, girlie pens. Look for femme backpacks at kid's clothing stores where there's lots of eye-catching pink, purple, green, orange, etc. Check stationary or office supply stores for stylish paper and pens.

Also try re-decorating certain things: decoupage notebooks (add glitter, stickers, ribbon, magazine pics, and other pretty items), cover a binder with Autumn-ish materials like corduroy, or girlify a backpack with ribbons, buttons and fabric paint.

The rest of the week

Okay, so you get the first day over with while wearing a completely fabulous outfit. but now you have the rest of the week to worry about!

Make a point that you don't get all dressy and cute the first day, and then every other day wear trainers and track pants.

I suggest that the whole week (although I normally plan the entire month of September. yeah, it's an obsession!) is planned out in outfits. That way you can focus on what school is really about - homework and important stuff (don't forget guys, friends, socializing.).

What do you prefer 2012 dodge charger rt awd or 2011 camaro ss convertible 10 points?

school bags 2012 for girls image

Sanchez

Im 18 single high school graduate, what should i go for? The reason i dont like the camaro its because it has no space at all and what i dont like about the charger is the front end, and does a cooler fit in the camaros trunk? What car would turn girls heads?

Answer
Well I've personally driven a 2012 Dodge Charger R/T Max with RWD and I've driven a 2012 charger R/T Max with AWD. I've never driven the Camaro SS but I've ridden in one a couple of times. I personally love the looks of the Dodge Charger and I liked the way the RWD one behaved more. I do know a lot of people think they are ugly though. No matter what you will turn heads with the 20" chrome rims whether they like the car or not. The Camaro SS is also a great car. A cooler (if it was a large one) wouldn't fit in the trunk with the top down though I don't think. It'll probably turn more heads but driving one kinda has that douche bag stigma. But girls would love it! I think that if you're right out of high school the Charger would be the better choice. It's way more practical, costs less, and probably has more features for the price plus you mentioned the AWD. You can't get that on the Camaro. Don't worry about the girls though, anyone 18 years old with a Charger R/T is going to get a lot of girl attention.

I can go into way further detail with either of these cars but I figured I would keep it simple. Good luck, You're lucky to get either of these cars.

Answer
I go Camaro all the way especially if its an ss convertible, definitely the most head-turning points.
The Charger, at least where I live, is associated with douche bags and cops because those are the only people who drive them, which I'm sure you wouldn't want to be associated with. I'm sure a cooler fits in a Camaro if I can fit one in my mercedes clk convertible.
Hope this helps :)

I need help with talking to my mom?

Yo!

I'm a college freshman, about to finish with my first semester. I go to a university close to home, and I frequently visit home as a result, bordering on almost every weekend.

I'm not doing well at uni. While I'm decently smart and could be a good student if I tried, I just can't bring myself to care about my classes. I frequently skip and, while I don't think I'm failing, my grades are subpar. And I don't care.

I want to talk to my mom about dropping out of uni and attending a cheaper and simpler community college with some online courses. The thing is, my mom is very stubborn and easy to anger if I bring up anything she doesn't agree with (such as DROPPING OUT OF COLLEGE) while I am kind of cowardly and easily upset, especially by her. I don't know how I would even start the conversation about it, let alone actually win...

I know degrees are necessary, so I don't want to stick to uni only to fail out next semester, and waste more of my mom's money and make her even more upset with me. I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice on how I could go about this? Thanks if you do.
oh my god...
School doesn't fit with me. So what? Everyone is different. It has nothing to do with me being lazy. And if you actually *read my question* (which i guess you did but you didn't get it??? sorry???) I'm actually trying to find a solution to this problem. If I were a lazy piece of trash I'd fail out then go mooch off of my parents for the rest of my life. I actually want to do something with my life, thank you, but it's not going to happen in uni and I'm trying to fix it.

Maybe the problem with this generation is people like you TELLING us we're awful? I mean friggin seriously? When I heard remarks like THAT it makes me not want to even try. We're not worthless, but YOU make us feel like we're worthless. It's a big self-fulfilling prophecy YOU'RE beginning, so shut up and don't be so judgmental.

Answer
It sounds like you're being fairly honest with yourself. That's always a plus.

What about a trade? Frequently overlooked, trades can provide satisfying employment at decent wages. Gaining trade skills vary by country, and I don't know where you live. If it's the US, 60 Minutes recently ran a spot about manufacturers who can't find skilled welders. Given how many people are out of work, that's kind of insane, isn't it? There is no reason a woman can't do this. If you're good with high school math (geometry especially) operating computer-controlled machines in manufacturing is another good choice. It may seem like everything is made in China these days, but it's not true, especially for industrial products and things used by the military or aerospace. Beware of scam trade schools in the US - you need to check thoroughly before giving any your money.

You understand intellectually that "degrees are necessary" but you don't feel it in your bones. At least not yet. There is nothing wrong with beginning studies at a later age, as long as you're motivated. But if you're not doing well, you're right, it's a waste of money right now.

If a trade doesn't appeal to you, get a cashier or waitressing job for a while. It's not uncommon to lack a strong sense of direction early on, but if you start to hate cashiering, it can be quite useful to think about what really does appeal as you scan cans of tuna and bag them. Not really sure why that works, but eventually it does. Who knows how long it takes?

Your Mom just wants you to be OK and able to support yourself. Having a plan such as trade school might calm her a bit. She might not like the cashier idea, but it's better in her eyes than doing nothing. Good luck.
