Starting high school tomorrow!!!?

MoSh PiT g

*Freshman* woohoo! Anything I should know? Well about MY high school. There are only 4 classes and they are about 130 mins each. And we start at 7:40 and end at 2:35. Abd 1:45 on Mondays. IDK why.

Answer
thats excatly how my school works! 4 classes each 130 mins...
these are tips that i've been giving freshmen lately...
TIPS:
- don't be scared/nervous/worried... high school is not that big of a deal
- get a map of the school so you don't get lost... but don't walk around the school with it in front of your face
- don't ask upperclassmen for help if you're lost (ask a teacher or friend) cuz they might point you in the wrong direction
- don't stop in the middle of the hallways
- join clubs/sports... trust me it's an easy way to make friends and it looks good on college applications
- don't run to lunch
- don't be intimidated by upperclassmen
- don't tell your boyfriend you 'love' him in the same week you started dating him.
- on the first day don't wear you hollister shirt, hollister pants, hollister flipflops, and carrying your hollister bag... you will have freshman written all over you and don't wear too much makeup/accesories... just wear something simple but cute :) and honestly nobody gives a crap about what you wear
- it is possible to fall UP the stairs... lol. but if this (or something like this) does happen don't be embarrassed... just laugh at yourself and walk away cuz its no big deal
- please don't be an immature freshman
- make good grades (don't screw it up freshman year cuz you WILL regret it)
- don't come to school on the first day with your huge backpack full of colored pencils, glue sticks, tissue boxes... you don't need all that crap you're in high school now. all you need for the first day is paper, pencils, and a folder
- there is no pool on top of the school
- if someone offers you an elevator pass.... don't buy it!!!
- don't be the annoying kid who always cracks immature jokes in class. teachers hate that. always be nice to the teachers cuz one day when you are a senior they will help you write college reccomendation letters and you will be glad that you behaved in their class.
- don't decorate your locker (nobody at my school decorates them)
- don't start talking to random uppperclassmen like they are your best friend
- don't talk about your UPPERCLASSMEN friends cuz you can tell someone is a freshman when they say "my SENIOR friend..... blah blah blah" it doesn't matter what grade they are in! all of your friends are PEOPLE.
- don't talk about how "cool" you think you are cuz your finally in high school
- upperclassmen have other things to worry about and they could care less about freshmen.... if people do pick on you they will most likely be sophomores: they think they have the right to pick on you cuz they're not freshman anymore..... but i think if a sophomore picks on you that is pathetic cuz they are only a year older than you.
- be prepared for freshman friday!!!! nahhh i'm just kidding it doesn't exist.... and any rumors you hear are all FAKE! nothing scary happens... and high school is nothing like the movies.

good luck tomorrow :)

class of 2010!

High School bag/backpack!?

When I was looking for a backpack for school I looked at all those stores too... and then some. I FINALLY found a really cool backpack at yesstyle.com. If you don't want to go online for a backpack; an unexpected place that I found cool rucksack type backpacks was at Target. I even saw some at JCPenny.
Good Luck =)

How do you prepare kids for school?

Nicnac

all ages. detailed answers please.

Answer
When my son started preschool, I let him go with me to pick out school stuff. He picked a few outfits, his new shoes, a backpack, and a lunch box. Letting him pick his school supplies gave him a sense of control and independence when it came to school. We read books about preschool and also visited on orientation day. At the same time, we didn't obsess over school - we simply talked about it occasionally over the first few weeks before school. I also started some back - to - school traditions. We have a special dinner the night before, and my son gets to pick the menu. The same goes with breakfast on the first day (as long as it's healthy - you don't want them sugar high on the first day!) and I packed him a special lunch. On the night before school, I packed his backpack with a few surprises for him to open after dinner. I put in a new pair of pajamas, a copy of Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go, and a little boys' digital watch so that he would know when Mommy was coming to pick him up. I have decided to keep doing such things every year.

Do kids need to bring anything with them to preschool?

Q. my child is starting preschool soon and I want to know if kids usually bring things with them. I am guessing they are too young to need a back pack, since it's not like they will have a lot of books or homework. Just curious.

Answer
Well, go ahead and get him a backpack anyway. It will help get him into the "school" mode, and help to make him feel like a big kid.

You can pack extra clothes, diapers or Pull-Ups (if he still uses them), a favorite item, etc; and the teachers can use it to send home notes, drawings, etc. You should also check to see if they require him to bring a blanket, any crayons or other accoutrement's, etc; but more than likely they have this already.

The very most importenest thing he can bring, and don't forget to tell him, is his curiosity and imagination. Welcome to your first step into a much bigger world, and good luck with school!

Where can you get decent priced school bags that are stylish and large (ish) in the uk?

Q. I need a decent school bag for school next year, I am going into year 8. Nothing more than £30 though. I need it by the time school starts which is WEDNESDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER 2012 xoxo

Answer
Although some of it is stupidly expensive, and many of the bags will not be big enough, TK Max has some good ones. I got one for £27 that's nice and big, and looks pretty too :). You've just got to be prepared to dig around a little bit.

Q. Could you suggest me a good bag for school? (Price not more than 400$)

Answer
I honestly don't know why you would you spend $400 on a school bag when some of the best are only like $60-$90. The best ones I find are from sporting good stores. They have real book bags for school. If you want something more cute, something more for fashion, I suggest going to Forever 21. I don't suggest one-shoulder bags becuase they're really uncomfortable.

Fashionable School bag?

Q. I'm looking for a fashionable tote bag to carry my books and laptop in around campus next year. I need something durable and strong, as I'm living off campus of my university and I'll be travelling to and from my house frequently. I'd prefer something with both handles and a shoulder strap. It also has to be able to hold quite a bit of stuff, because I usually go to the gym between classes (gym shoes, tshirt, water bottle, etc). Anyone know where I can get something like this?? (Canada only please!!!)

Answer
I live in the U.S so Im not sure what stores are also up in Canada. Check Target and department stores in the mall.

This website, I LOVE their bags and they take the money they get from the bags to feed & stop hunger in poor countries

Oh and do check Victoria's Secret. Their bags are big and sooo prettty!

Of course! It's a trend in college. It doesn't matter the size or style. Just get the bag you like!

Do i need a bag for tennis at high school? and do you have any suggestions on a bag?

unknown

im in 9th grade and this is my first year in high school, and well i do want to get a tennis bag, cause i might end up carrying around a second racquet, but in middle school nobody really used a tennis bag, they had the ones that held one racquet, which i thought was kinda dumb since thats all they had in it so i didnt use anything and i just kept my racquet in my locker :P

anyway, i want a bag, that will still fit in my locker, i was wondering if i should get a 3 bag? or do people not use bags either in high school? it just confuses me :(

i was looking at this bag http://www.tennisexpress.com/WILSON-Pro-⦠its small and doesn't really look like it will get in the way, and i hope it will fit in my locker since i dont wanna carry it around all day, anyway, anyone wanna help me with this one? :P

is that a good one if i need one? and if not does anyone have any other suggestions? and also, what else do you think i can fit in that bag if i only have one racquet? like water, food, and extra tennis balls and stuff? thanks :)

Answer
A lot of the bags I've seen players carrying around are too big to fit in the lockers I've seen in public American high schools. If you carry a big, flashy tennis bag to school with you, other kids will surely notice, including *thieves.* This goes for anything you take to high school.

If you have a good size backpack, that should be OK.

If you absolutely MUST have a big tennis bag like your stars on TV, shop around for deals: Internet, local sporting good stores, other stores that sell duffle bags, too. Think about getting one with wheels on it so you can take it on planes with you when you start playing the Futures, Challengers, and then finally, traveling with the top dogs on the ATP World Tour. Best wishes :-)

Little kid backpacks for teens?

Sandie

Okay so why is it that the latest style in HIGH SCHOOL, yes I said HIGH SCHOOL - is Dora the Explorer, Spongebob, Elmo, etc. backpacks? Guys mostly, I don't think I've seen girls do this but it's incredibly stupid. Why is this the newest fashion trend and when will it end?

Answer
haha lol. i know what u mean, im one of them kids with a disney cards bag and im 14. its because most backpacks for our age are just like nike or adidas and really dull. although lil kids ones are bright and oringinal. also because most tv programs designed for our age are RUBBISH! CBBC have a laugh. so it probably wont end until bags brighten up or tv programs et better and start making gear. :)

Have you ever "backpacked" through Europe?

Q. And if so, what cities did you visit, how'd you get around, and what hotels/hostels did you stay in? I would love to, but haven't the slightest clue as to the best way to see Europe .

Answer
I actually was living in the UK and travelled when I could, so technically I didn't do it in one big go...just lots of little goes.

What I can say is I KNOW how overwhelming it seems. I remember getting there and trying to figure out where I would go first...I literally felt like a kid in a candy shop! I decided on Paris!

What I would also say, after having the experience of travelling around is it is better to see FEWER places and more thoroughly than seeing lots of places really quickly. Reasons why is that you spend a LOT of your time travelling from A to B to C etc ( things like travelling, waiting for trains/buses/planes) not including delays, waiting times to catch connecting, getting to and from your accommodiaiotn. It really adds up.

It depends on how long you are staying as well. You can do things to get you started like doing one of those bus companies that have a circuit and you get on and off where you want and find your own accommodation. It maybe an option. Otherwise look for a specific route you can take that gives you an actual plan and something you can work with.

Websties for accommdaiotn are www.hostels.com, ww.hostelworld.com, www.hostelbookers.com and www.lonelyplanet.com. What you can do is lok thru them to see options and costs for places. Some places will be more pricey than others eg I found Florence ( Italy) quite exepnsive and stayed in a campground ( in a cabin) 15km out of Florence. It was cheaper, but took up to 50mins by bus to get into town and cost over 4 euro per journey. so you weigh up distance from centre and cost of accommodaiotn...places closer are usually more expensive but agaisnt time to get to and from it, cost of transport sometimes its better to go more central. The websites have ratings for accommodation as well!

To get started maybe make a list of places you REALLY want to see. Look on a map for a possible route...its generally pretty easy to get from one place to another by whatever transport ( note a good website for european flights is www.skyscanner.net) so that is usually not a problem.

There are also places that are amazing that you may not have considered. Eg I had never thought of going to Croatia, Slovenia and Czech Republic, but they rate up there as my favourite places ( AND are cheaper than other places)....Prague is REALLY worth a look.
As a single female who travelled by myself for the majority of my trips, I liked the freedom of travelling by myself, but you can easily pick up people to go around with and meet up agian with in hostels....
I went to France ...Paris and central France ( around Figiac/Cahors in the Dordogne region....lovely
Italy.....HEAPS to offer here and can recommend all the places I went to..Verona, Venice, Sienna, Rome, Florence and Bologna.
Czech Republic.Prague and Cesky Krumulov
Slovenia: Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj
Croatia: Zargreb, Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar
Amsterdam...only comment.It was the ONLY place I stayed where I felt I have overdone it..I was there for 3 nights, 2 too many in my opinion.
Belgium: Brussels, Bruges/Brugge
Ireland: Dublin, Kilkenny, Tralee, Limerick
Wales and England...I actually didn't see as much in England as I should have considering I was living there for nearly 2 years, but travel is expensive here, even for people living and earning the pound!!!!

So I would chose some places, ask for opinions to help narrow the search and for "extra" places you may not have considered. My sister always said if 3 different people tell you about a place....seriously consider it as a place to go!!!
Have fun!

traveling with kids?

sarahnsqui

we're going to be camping in Colorado for a family vacation with my husbands siblings/dad/etc...there will be a 14 month old and my baby who is 3 months...what are some ideas for activities?

Answer
14 mo old - We bought a child carrier backpack for my first son and that sures makes nature oriented stuff easier. My son loved the pack, and so if we went on a hike he just road along in the pack, the sites alone will keep them entertained for the most part.

At 3 months you can get a front carrier, and tote that one along.

Wherever you camp, scout out the area very well before you let the 14 mo old wander around, make sure there are not any dangerous critters or bushes or whatnot. Have a big tent so they can also just use the tent as a playarea.

Buy a few new toys (don't go overboard) and give them a new toy when you first get there, when they bore of that one, give them another new toy.... depends on the attention span of your child how long this will or if it will work at all. (my 16 mo old this would never work, his attention span is like 3 minutes.)

Is it possible for children under 18 to be in jail?

Q. There is this big problem in class.

Our classmate, Paulo decided to sell food secretly in school, which breaks the school policy.

He earned 303 QR from that.

And now, the money is gone.

Paulo claimed that he just placed it right there on his bag. He also told the prefect about this.

Having the Prefect know about his secret food business, she warned Paulo about it and if he ever did that again, his clearance won't be signed.

The prefect also helped to look for the missing wallet with money.

And days later, they found the wallet near another classroom.

The wallet was empty.

Now, Paulo threatens to call the police.

He is serious.

I even overheard his father say so.

Paulo told us that he would give whoever stole his wallet five days to return it.

And if that person doesn't, our class is in serious trouble with the police.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it's really unfair. In the first place, he shouldn't have broke school rules by selling food without permission. My whole class is accused. Even the innocents are to be blamed.

But 303 QR is a lot of money and even though he didn't do the right thing on getting that, he still worked hard to earn it.

Well, back to the question, is it possible for children under 18 to be in jail?
(Most of my classmates are 13-14 year olds)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there any way to find the culprit if there is any culprit at all?
QR is Qatari Riyals, Qatar's currency. Me and my classmates are studying in Qatar.

Answer
There is a juvenile justice system for everyone in Qatar who is under 16 years of age. Anyone who is suspected of breaking the law can be held in a juvenile prison for 3-4 days to be questioned. Anyone found to have broken the law can be punished in a juvenile prison just as if they were an adult.

That said, any threat the boy makes against the entire class are empty threats. There must be some reason to suspect one or more of your classmates of the theft before action can be taken.

And that said, you'd be surprised at how easy it can be to solve one of these cases. People who take that kind of money often talk about it, and word gets around. Also, if someone suddenly shows up with expensive purchases that their parents didn't make for them, that could be a giveaway.

My boyfriend said he needs time alone?

Q. He said: I hope you will understand but I just need some time alone.
We were texting about his parents.
His parents dont allow me to talk to him and Ive never met them tho Ive seen them once.
What happened was in the beginning of June, I was caught with alcoholic empty beverages in my bag. I live in a islamic country (Qatar) and they were nice enough to not deport me out of the country or kick me out of the school.
His parents were afraid that they were gonna lose their jobs and be deported since my bf brought the alcohol to school and gave it to me.
I know its bad so dont waste your time saying that I shouldnt be doing these things at this age or that im unmature.
I know I am..
Point is, he went to Europe for a vacation and sent me a text before he left from his fathers phone. His dad's phone stopped working but managed to fix it from the settings. When they came back from Europe, the phone wasnt working adnd his father thinks that my mother blocked his phone and/or made a complaint.

And they dont have internet but they fixed it and he was on the internet (i didnt know) and his stepmom woke up and thought that he was talking to me about ways to put his father in jail..
Thats fckin nonsense.
We barley communicate anyways since its Summer.
Its all really confusing, weve been together since the beginning of March. I know one thing for sure that hes not breaking up with me because he aways promises that he would never break up with me. And when he came back from Europe, he was in a bad mood and was upset because his parents are not your average "good" parents.

All I can say is help?

Answer
its staying with the boyfriend worth all the parentaal drama?

and if so then you need to speak to his praents and tell them how you feel about this becasue it is not fairr..

School lunches?? H E L P ! !?

Mommytothr

When I send my Twins off to 1st grade I will be sending lunches, Can anyone give me good ideas for variety.

Answer
Make sure you have a small freezer pack in the bag to keep things cold, and ALWAYS send along your own plastic cutlery!!!

Tortilla shells - coat them with stuff the kids like (i.e. ham/cheese, cream cheese with jam or with drained fruit cocktail or banana - then roll them up and slice.
Cold leftover pizza.
Hummus with bagel chips.
Make your own "Lunchable" with healthy alternatives - real sliced leftover roast beef or chicken, cubes/slices of real cheddar cheese, crackers and a cup of washed individual grapes. Vegetable sticks are always welcome by kids, especially if you include a small container of their favorite low-fat dip.
Yogurt is a favorite of most kids and great for school lunches. Children also like cold rice, pasta, and couscous, which can be sent in a container and kept cold.
They love string cheese.
Try wrapping thin slices of lean deli roast beef around short bread sticks.
Cubes of lean ham or turkey breast are also good for kids along with a little packet of mustard or ketchup from a fast food restaurant - for dipping.
Try different pita breads or tortilla wrappings filled with a favorite sandwich meat (NOT a processed meat) or salad, meat and cheese kabobs, or a macaroni salad.
Salsa and chips, assorted pickles, or veggie sticks and slices with dip.
Choose fruits that are easy to eat and not messy. Be sure to peel fruits that need it, and cut them into finger-size pieces for younger children.
Vary the bread offerings from plain sliced bread to raisin bread, pita pockets, dinner rolls, flour tortillas, or mini-bagels.
Rice cakes are a fun addition. Pack tuna salad, peanut butter or cheese spread in a separate container to be spooned on at lunchtime so the cakes don't get soggy.
Mix cream cheese with raisins and a dash of honey to spread on graham crackers.
An old favorite is Ants on a Log. Fill celery sticks with cream cheese, sprinkle with grated carrot, and push in raisons for ants.
If you make chicken breasts, prepare an extra serving and slice it for sandwiches the next day instead of purchasing deli lunch meat.
While youâre making dinner, boil a few eggs. Pack the eggs whole, make deviled eggs, or use them in egg salad.
Make an extra baked potato and pack it with nutritious toppings.
Try some of these sandwich fillings in whole-wheat pocket bread, on whole-grain bread, bagels, crackers, English muffins, rice cakes or rolls, or try filling and rolling tortillas or lavash flat bread.
Cheese, avocado, and sprouts
Grilled cheese with cucumber or sprouts
Leftover grilled vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini) with sliced cheese, goat cheese, or pesto sauce
Cheddar or mozzarella cheese with apple slices
Brie cheese with mustard and sprouts
Cheese, tomato, sprouts or lettuce, and pesto sauce
Leftover turkey loaf with tomatoes, and lettuce or sprouts
Sliced leftover chicken or turkey, cranberry sauce, and lettuce
Sliced leftover chicken or turkey, honey mustard, tomatoes, and lettuce or sprouts
Sliced leftover beef with mayonnaise or horseradish, sliced tomato and cucumbers
Chicken salad made with celery, lettuce, and tomato
Tuna/cucumber/green pepper salad with tomato
Salmon salad with lettuce or sprouts
Shrimp salad with lettuce or sprouts
Lowfat cream cheese, and smoked salmon (with tomato, and red onion)
Mix a container of lowfat strawberry yogurt and 1 cup reduced-fat frozen whipped topping (thawed) to make a yogurt dipping sauce for berries; or core an apple and fill it with peanut butter (sprinkle the apple with orange or lemon juice to prevent discoloration); toss a few nuts and M&M's or chocolate chips into a dried fruit mixture to make a healthful snack or dessert.
Here are good veggie/fruit choices - remember to send at least 2 servings: baby carrots (they come packaged plain or with ranch dip); celery sticks (add peanut butter and raisins); julienned, strip-cut or zigzag-cut carrots, zucchini, sweet peppers, cucumbers and summer squash (presentation, presentation!); lettuce and tomato slices (pack separately to put onto a sandwich); grape tomatoes; cubed or cut melon; orange wedges; kiwi slices; pineapple cubes (fresh or juice-packed); berries; apples; and dried fruit such as apricots, raisins, sweetened dried cranberries and cherries.

totes for school???!!!?

Q. i'm a 13 year old 8th grader that goes to this really small country school and for next year my teachers are trying this new thing that we are not allowed to go to our lockers in btw classes so we have to carry all of our books with us..... so do you think i should get a tote to carry my books... and if so what should i look like????

Answer
If your school will allow you to do it, the rolling suitcases or totes on wheels are a healthier way to move a heavy load. In recent years doctors have seen a significant rise in back problems in kids your age or a little older, and it seems connected to carrying lots of heavy books. If your school won't allow you to pull your books, use a proper backpack (and show your teachers the article below). Sorry to say, tote bags are the cutest solution but also the one that's the worst for you. Save them just for lightweight stuff.
