So... if you liked this girl almost allll of the last school year, and knew she liked you back, but you both were in seventh grade and decided not to go out. So yeah you still flirted and talked and it was cute but you didn't really text her because you always lost your phone and just weren't really a texter in general, not that it mattered because you guys talked at school. You keep on liking her until school ends.
So then the summer goes by, you don't talk to her once. School's back, you have no classes together... you see her frequently in the halls but never talk. Then, one day, out of the blue she goes up and talks to you for a bit you SMILE AND ITS HELLA CUTE %26lt;3 while you're the type of guy who has hardly any friends who are girls and who hardly ever smiles... you give her this BIG HEARTMELTING SMILE. :] After this, you change your bike path so you're on the same as hers. A week goes by, and you don't talk, until the last school day you have before valentines day, she gives you a valentine. No biggie, she gave them to a lot of her friends but since you hadn't talked in a while it was a little unexpected. About five days later, over break, she texts you and you actually reply... she gets 21 messages from you in a 24 hour period, you get 19 from her. Now break's over, and you've been at school one day, she hasn't talked to you but it's only been one day.
1) if you were in this situation, would it be possible that you still liked her? (cuase i still like him but I didn't realize it until I spoke to him)
2) Would you think she liked you back? You're not what you would call a ladies man... you've never had a gf, and you aren't popular with the girls lol. Just cuz ur rude ;] (but you've always been so sweet to me! well almost always)
3) WHAT SHOULD I DO TO GET HIM TO LIKE ME?? Tomorrow is 8th graders open gym day were the 8th graders can go play b-ball... and I have to take pictures... I'm 100% sure he'll be there. Any suggestions? I already know what I'm wearing, lol. ALSO... I want to be able to talk to him in the halls more, at least say hi. How, and what do I say?
A question?? I love whoever answers ahah?
go do your homework..........
A question?? I love whoever answers ahah?
Why don't you just.. ask him if he likes you?
I don't get this whole %26quot;LOL DOES HE LIKE ME OH HE MIGHT NOT AHHH%26quot; thing. Just ask the boy.
Just talk to him like a friend, no biggie. He's probably confused and shy since he's not experiences talking to girls. Just treat him like a friend and he'll be comfortable around you.
This is ridiculous and far too long and very immature.

I have to write a 4-5 paper about this book rasing a secure child. can any body help me out and read my paper?
The author of Raising a secure child is Zeynep Biringen (2004). Biringen Background is that she is an “associate professor at Colorado state university and a licensed child psychologist.” She wrote the book to inspire the way parents relate to children. It is dedicated to “all the children and families who have participated over the years.” People who read this book will figure out the “strengths and weaknesses in their current parent child relationship and develop new ways of creating stronger, more nourishing emotional bonds with children of any age.”
Biringen explains how children show attachment through “a cluster of behaviors that brings physical closeness to adult caregiver, such as reaching, clinging, sucking.” In children attachment starts very young. I have seen that I have five nephews and two nieces. My two nephews Wyatt and Camden were more attach to my sister-in-law. When Camden was born he was clinging to my sister-in-law. Every time I would watch him we would have to put him in another room with some toys and she would have to sneak out. He is now six years old and he is getting much better, but once in a while he will ask where his mommy is and we would always say she will be home soon. When Wyatt was born he was the same way as Camden and still is. Wyatt is one years old and every time someone watches him he cries. He is so clinging to his mommy. He will probably grow out of it like his brother.
In the book the author talks about childhood attachment through divorce and loss of parent. At any age your parents can divorce or lose a parent. It is a hard feeling to face. A lot of children are attaching to the caretaker and it is hard for them to go through a divorce or loss of a parent. A lot of time when a parent divorce when child is older the child express more anger as suppose when they are younger. A lot of people are different to.
Two examples of how attachment goes through divorce and loss of parent. First example is while I was in eighth grade my parents went through a divorce. I was more attaching to my father than my mother. I would get angry at everybody for no reasons. I was upset, stress out, and I blame it on myself. When I was around my parents I felt like it was my fault and I was afraid to talk about how I felt to anyone. Basically I shut down emotionally, trying to block the anger. All the stress and hurt took a toll on my schooling as well. All that was happening made it hard to focus on my school work.
Second example is about a loss parent. Losing a parent at any age is the worst feeling. Through all the pain, grief, and confusion it can change your life around. I have seen that happen. One of my best friends in high school lost her dad at the age of 16. She was upset, shock, and fearful. It was hard for because her dad died suddenly. It took her awhile to get back on track. To lose someone that close to you and always there for you just don’t get over it in a day. You will never forget that someone close to you.
Biringen talks about Authoritative and Authoritarian and Permissive parenting in school performance. Also in class we talked about Authoritative and Authoritarian and Permissive parenting in discipline. Authoritative is high in warmth and high in confident. Authoritative children do very well in school, very strict, infancy, and self regulate. Also, is distraction, tired, furious and don’t follow behavior modeling and have good relationship. Authoritarian children also do well in school, but are low in warmth and high in control, less confident, low socially. They keep there distance and expect questions. Another one that we talk about in class was permissive. Permissive parents show little warmth, and little on discipline.
She talks about discipline in children. Most people who discipline their children are the way their parents discipline them when they were young. Every child is different even if a child is taught discipline early and develops a sense of right and wrong. A child taught discipline can still be an unruly and out of control. The type of discipline used on the child can help determine how the child will act. Say a child is disciplined in a more abusive manner they may turn out to cause more trouble and start more fights thinking that is how you deal with someone when you don’t like how they act. It can also work the other way. A child raised and disciplined understanding and removal of privileges rather the physical punishment can learn to deal with their problems in the same manner. They can learn to talk out their problems with others rather then resorting to physical or violent methods.
In conclusion most of all, it is about giving each other the gifts of love, trust, and happiness for you and your child. No matter what age you are you can become closer to your child by supporting them through difficult time.
I have to write a 4-5 paper about this book rasing a secure child. can any body help me out and read my paper?
Correct your grammar.
Correct your spelling.
Do not think that this is a four or five page paper.
You are off to a good start.
Now get to work and write an A plus paper.
As a former teacher, I would give you a C plus as is. A D for grammar and punctuation.
In other words, C minus.

What do ivy schools look for in me?
Do schools look at the high school you attend? how hard do they look upon that?
Also if you were to change your high school every year does it matter?
say i got to 2 different public school for 9th and 10th then go to private for the rest?
does that look bad?depending on the high school?
do private school look better than public school?
also if my grades are
pretty much b+ for my first semester than all A's and one B+ for my 2nd semester in my 9th grade year
does that start of bad for an ivy league school?
i plan on joining lots of clubs for next year and extracurricular's
but say i plan for a medical field (not sure yet what i want to do) not something simple tho
it doesnt have to be only ivy league but around those types of school?
also does math matter alot?
like say you
take
regular algebra
geomety honors
algebra 2 honors
then precal
is that so bad?
What do ivy schools look for in me?
You are not headed on an ivy track at all. Please refer to the other poster's comment on how to improve. In all, getting into an ivy league school sounds like a pipedream for you and you do not really even want it. Most people who post about ivy leagues are asking questions like %26quot;is this good enough%26quot; when they are in all AP/IB courses, and you are asking %26quot;is [this] so bad?%26quot; You have to aim higher if you want to get into these schools. You need to challenge yourself and stand out somehow. You do not stand out yet (does not even sound like you want to).
You have to realize just how big this country is. Thousands of applicants apply, they have to deny many many people every year, many of which are very qualified. It just does not seem like you understand how real the competition is. Most people do not get into these schools. So, you should not be asking yourself, %26quot;does this matter a lot?%26quot; you need to be asking yourself, how can I get all As in the hardest classes available. And, further, %26quot;what can I do to make me special enough to beat out the other thousand or so applicants%26quot;
What do ivy schools look for in me?
When I was applying for colleges, the ivy schools looked for students that challenged themselves. So if you went to a school where they offered calculus, and you didn't take it, you were worse off than a student who only took pre-cal at a school where that was the highest math offered. So, basically, take the best your school has to offer.
Also, it was better to have a couple extracurriculars you did a lot of stuff in than a whole bunch you barely participated in. The SAT/ACT grades were really important too. Some of the ivys have an unwritten %26quot;minimum%26quot; score. It also helps to sound motivated and interesting in the application essays. The school I went to required an interview.
Mostly remember that you're competing against a ton of other students for a small # of spaces, so getting in is about standing out against your fellow applicant. My friend worked in admissions and some of the people they rejected were qualified and would have been accepted another year, but the year they applied there were more applicants who beat them out.recipes for chicken alfredo howtogetevenwithyourex

I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
i'm a 14 y/o girl. and i really really want to start ballet. is it too late? it feels like it. i started before when i was 4 but only went for a few wekkes then stop. what do you think? i am already having a busy schedule here with school, school activities, piano lessons, art classes, sunday school. and i heard ballet lessons cost a lot, i'm not sure about my parents. and i'm 14!!! it going to be terrible. i'll have to work with the little kids of 4 to 6 and i'm going to be the only 14 year-old in class. so..... EMBARRASSING! abut oh dear, i really want to dance....
here are a few questions:
do you think i can try it? after all those problems up there?
how long do classes last, how many times a week?
how much do they cost?
how long do you need to change your shoes. i mean, how long does one pair last? and how much do they cost?
if i 'll start at grade one, then can i skip grades? like try to catch up with other 14 y/o's?
how will the exams be?
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GO FOR IT?
I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
There is another factor you did not consider...How big are you? (Height and weight) Most ballerina's are not very big. (Under 5'2%26quot; adult height) Anyone can learn to dance at any age ( and you will not be put in a class with 6 year olds, but in a teen or adult beginners class), but it takes years to become a pointe ballerina. Apparently Princess Diana wanted to pursue a career in dancing, but at 5'10%26quot; and 155 pounds, she was told that she was bigger than almost all male dancers, and was WAY too tall to ever be a ballerina.
They don't give exams in dancing school. Shoes are purchased either as you outgrow them or they are worn or you switch from soft to hard (pointe) shoes.
Lessons can range from $25 to $65 a class session (45 or 50 minutes)
I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
well.....i loved dance....and i miss it sooo much.......i had knee surgery and had to stop......but they lasted about 1-2 hours....longer when it got close to competition or recital time....its really hard to balance everything and keep your grades up.......and you probobly have a few classes every week......but they cost quite a bit.....but if you really want to......you really dont have to change your shoes that often.........but you probobly wont skip grades unless your like really good.......if you really want it you should go for it!
i was in your situation a few weeks ago i'm 14 too! i thought i would be with young children too but im not! i'm with people the year below me i don't mind because there really funny. starting ballet is fantastic, i love every lesson.it's not very expensive like 拢4 a lesson but it does vary. i am with people who have been doing it a long time, but there are some new ones too, i am picking it up quickly. START IT IT IS AMAZING!!!!
Totaly go for it when i did ballet for 2 years i was slightly older than everyone else dont be worried just aim for what u want go try if u dont like it u can easyly quit
Sabra Johnson.
its not to late! I didnt start til like I was 12 almost 13. Now im 14 and Im starting pointe this summer! Instead of starting with 4 to 6 year olds ask your studio if they have a 'teen' ballet class because thats what I did for my first season. Now im at a pre pointe level w/ girls like 11-14 ! Classes are usually an hour. Its up to you how many classes a week. If your serious about it and looking to get really good i'd say atleast 3 per week. If your just doing it as an extra fun thing then you can just take 1. GO FOR IT GIRL! :] lol hope I helped!
I think you should try it if you think you can do it. I mean, the other activities you have listed up there seem like a lot already but dance has been very rewarding and fun for me. I started at 13 so i think it is okay to start now. And you dont HAVE to work with the little kids. There should be other people just like you that want to dance now but are not 4-10 years old anymore. Check with the front desk and ask them what classes they have, also check the prices with your parents too.
If it is something that you love and you want to do all the time, then go for it. But you have to be very dedicated to dancing. I'm sure they will not put you in a level with kids 4-6. They will probably put you with your age, or a class below your age. (only since you are just starting dance)
Classes vary between academies, my ballet classes are about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Except on Saturday i am there till 10-12:30. And the cost also varies on the academy's.
Depending on what brand of ballet shoes you get they normally cost somewhere under $20. I would most defiantly get CANVAS SPLIT-SOLE ballet shoes. Do not buy the leather ballet shoes, they crack and are very UN-attractive. And do not get a full sole ballet shoe, it does not show off your arch at all.
I'm sure that if you work hard and try your best then you will move up very fast. (but I'm almost positive you will not be in the 4-6 year old class) Good Luck!!! :]
im 13 and started grade 2 ballet about 2 weeks ago and it costs 拢5.20 and i do one lesson i am with 7/8 year olds .
you do have quiet a busy schedual but just look for a place then ask your parents
shoes last ages if you dont do loads of lessons a week it pointe shoes that dont last bacause there the ones in which you go on your toes in and they get worn away easilly.
hope this help any more question just ask me and try learning some of the things on this website

What do you think of my letter against school uniforms?
Dear Brunswick County board of education
I am writing this letter to dispute school uniforms. They violate our freedom of speech and our parents rights. In example, a student chooses to wear an Obama T-shirt which clearly expresses their encourage and support for him. But under this dress code The student would not be able to wear the shirt therefore, taking away his/her right To Show support. Also, if a parent/guardian does not want to have their child in a uniform it is their right and personal decision to not put them in one.
You seem to think that uniforms will help academics and behavior. Wrong again. If a student was called ugly or fat before the uniforms will the uniforms really change anything?
Here is all the cons you probably didn’t even think about.
1. Violate a student's right to freedom of expression
2. Are just a “quick fix” to school bullying.
3. Parents pay taxes to run the school not you so they should be able to buy the clothes THEY want for their kids.
4. Are very difficult to get students to wear.
As copied from http://knol.google.com/k/gregory-aymond/dress-codes-uniforms-in-schools/1jc4p62u8o21w/2?locale=en#, “In school dress code cases, the United States Supreme Court has said that rights of students must be balanced against a justified %26quot;showing that the students' activities would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school.%26quot; Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969). In Tinker, the Supreme Court upheld the rights of students to wear black arm bands to protest the Vietnam War.

I really hope you will put some time and thought into changing your mindset on uniforms. They really upset us students and you should do a survey on us and see how we feel about it. Thanks in advance for you time

What do you think of my letter against school uniforms?
I think it's a great letter. That will for sure get a lot of attention. Especially all those signatures!
What do you think of my letter against school uniforms?
I am sure as a citizen of the US, you used your freedom of speech at the board meeting. Apparently , more than 135 people agreed with the board and decided in favor of having a uniform dress code. The majority rules in this country still. Next time, work on getting people to like and agree with U
umm the school will probably ingore this letter you can't change the rules only the school can so ur stuck with uniforms so i would just deal with it for now
I think your letter is awesome. It is very persuasive.
I think that one person's letter isn't going to change didly sqwat.
Okay, I will tell you right now.
SCHOOL UNIFORMS are better for the following reasons:
1. If you wake up late you don't have time to pick out something without wondering if your friends will like it.
2. I had to wear uniforms a while ago and I was completely against wearing them. At the time it seemed VERY bad and unfair. Now, I go to a non-uniform school and I am BEGGING my parents to find a uniform school.
3. Think of the other students! Some kids can not afford to buy clothes to fit the %26quot;Latest Style%26quot;. Some kids WILL be made fun of!!!!
I do admire your decision to figt the %26quot;man%26quot; though!
Try to get as many signatures as you can! It might also help if you got parents signatures to show that adults support this as well as kids. I think this is awesome because i made a letter like this for a student council when i was in 6th grade, and IT WORKED! just keep on working at it and get more signatures.
Sweetie, first and foremost, please take your personal info out (your name, school, age, etc), that's VERY unsafe internet practice.
Now, to your letter, it sounds pretty good. I like the information you put in there. I would change %26quot;in example%26quot; to %26quot;for example%26quot; and also check your punctuation and capitalization,
Good luck, I hope it works!
Don't send it yet. The grammar needs some more work. Also, uniforms don't violate your freedom of speech, don't say that or they'll just laugh at you. Say they violate your freedom of expression, because clothes are an extension of a person's character and personality...something along this line...say that freedom of expression is a vital component of America's democracy, and you want the freedom to express your political opinion...a right guaranteed by the US Constitution.
I personally am in favor of school uniforms. Saves a lot of hassle in my opinion. I live in London, England, and here, everyone wears a school uniform. If there wasn't a school uniform, parents would be forced to spend even more money on the children's clothes, as their kids would feel pressurized to wear only the best, and thus the kids will then pressurize the parents into buying the clothes. And we know how quickly fashion and other fads change. One minute it's in, the next, it becomes yesterday's news, and %26quot;so last season%26quot;.
So a school uniform would actually save parents a lot of money, they would look smart, be easily identifiable as to which school they attend, which can come in handy in many situations, i.e. if the little kids cause trouble etc.
Besides, i know it's not cool to say, but i've always thought uniforms give you a sense of pride.
Uniforms are worn not only to promote the school but to protect students, faculty and others. It also helps prepare us for the business world. Uniforms help us keep tidy and look business prepared. If you were to go to a job interview, would you walk in with jeans around your knees and a big white shirt that says OBAMA08? No. You'd walk in with a nice suit on and present yourself neatly and efficiently. We are to tuck in our shirts to help us with safety. Watch this video:

Freedom of speech is speech. not what you wear. If this was true with what you're saying, we would be allowed to run around naked and say it's freedom of speech/expression, because this is how God created us. They would then precede to smack on handcuffs and a towel on us and take us down town.
I am writing this letter to dispute school uniforms. They violate our freedom of speech and our parents rights. In example, a student chooses to wear an Obama T-shirt which clearly expresses their encourage and support for him. But under this dress code The student would not be able to wear the shirt therefore, taking away his/her right To Show support. Also, if a parent/guardian does not want to have their child in a uniform it is their right and personal decision to not put them in one.
You seem to think that uniforms will help academics and behavior. Wrong again. If a student was called ugly or fat before the uniforms will the uniforms really change anything?
Here is all the cons you probably didn’t even think about.
1. Violate a student's right to freedom of expression
2. Are just a “quick fix” to school bullying.
3. Parents pay taxes to run the school not you so they should be able to buy the clothes THEY want for their kids.
4. Are very difficult to get students to wear.

I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
i'm a 14 y/o girl. and i really really want to start ballet. is it too late? it feels like it. i started before when i was 4 but only went for a few wekkes then stop. what do you think? i am already having a busy schedule here with school, school activities, piano lessons, art classes, sunday school. and i heard ballet lessons cost a lot, i'm not sure about my parents. and i'm 14!!! it going to be terrible. i'll have to work with the little kids of 4 to 6 and i'm going to be the only 14 year-old in class. so..... EMBARRASSING! but oh dear, i really want to dance....
here are a few questions:
do you think i can try it? after all those problems up there?
how long do classes last, how many times a week?
how much do they cost?
how long do you need to change your shoes. i mean, how long does one pair last? and how much do they cost?
if i 'll start at grade one, then can i skip grades? like try to catch up with other 14 y/o's?
how will the exams be?
DO YOU THINK I SHOULD GO FOR IT?
I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?

I am 14 and i wish i can start ballet dancing?
As i say, it's never too late for anything. And of course you can do ballet. That's the reason some people even do ballet in the first place: to be flexible. And don't worry about it. Usually there are classes for girls with the same age as you. Also you get to choose your schedule. If you think you can do it, try it 5 times a week, the minimum in our school is 2 times a week. Also usually ballet shoes don't cost that much, and are usually used 3 months or more. Exams for us usually are written(spelling of the terms and their meaning) and physical(dancing). In our school you could skip up to 3 levels if you're really good. I think you should go for it. I'm 18 and started doing ballet since i was 5 and loved it ever since. Good Luck and i hope you like it as much as i do!! :D
heyy you go girl! i started ballet when i was 10 and i was in the class with a bunch of 5 year olds! you will move up quickly if you practice your moves and go to every class you can. I dance with to different studios and is about 15 dollars for a class and more for private lessons. my shoes haves lasted me for about a year so far and i dance 3 times a week but it really depends on how offten you dance. it might take a while to catch up with the other 14 year olds buttrusrt me it is all worth it!!!! i love ballet and i am sure you will too!!!
no its not too late
You go right ahead! It is never to later to dance. I knew a woman who started dancing when she was 30. It is never to late to start Ballet. Just do your best, and have fun.

How do you handle a person who used to be your best friend, but met another one of your BFFs & changed to much?
My friend (lets call her Sarah) has been a BFF since 3rd Grade! My other friend (lets call her Mandy) has been a BFF since 1st Grade! Mandy was out of school for 2nd and 3rd grade, so Mandy and Sarah never met. Then Mandy came back in 4th grade and I was in class with yet another BFF (lets call her Madison) and another (lets call her Marie.) So I was in class with Madison, who was BFF's with Marie. Mandy only knew me, and same with Sarah. When people meet Madison, they change and become bullies. So thats what happened to Sarah and Mandy. Marie actully stayed nice, and me...I am way to shy and I don't defend myself. Now, Sarah always says %26quot;Go away nobody wants you here.%26quot; So I ask Mandy, and she says %26quot;I don't care if your here%26quot; and Madison, was never mean to me. But Sarah is really mean to me now and I can't take it. I have no other friends!! And I made fun of Marie 1 time and she gets PO at me! When Sarah and Madison dis her like crazy every day. Please tell me how to defend myself, dis her, think of comebacks, make friends with the three people I want to be friends with, Grace, Taylor, and Lucy. Of course, Sarah and Mandy and Marie are their friends, but why not me. I used to be friends with Grace, and I think Lucy wants to be my friend, but idk about Taylor. Please help me! Sorry this is so long.
