I'm going out to dinner and a movie with my friends for my birthday. There are 2 people who always hang out with us because my friends are friends with them. One guy I find annoying but I try to act nice to him. One girl I just don't really talk to that much. I wouldn't want to make them feel bad if they find out I didn't invite them, but I don't really want them there either. What should I do?

I'm getting a new phone for my birthday, and I've always really wanted an iphone. But I've been doing some research and it seems like the Galaxy S4 has more features, bigger memory, and better battery life. But almost everyone I know has the iphone, I'm always being left out of group messaging since all my friends have iphones, and it just seems like a cooler phone to have. What should I do?

So I'm in college and I feel so out of the loop with what's cool to wear. My closet basically consists of just Nike, DC, and Puma t-shirts, and cargo shorts. I mostly buy my clothes at Marshalls or JC Penny. Where do most guys shop and what's in style today?

Sorry if this question sounds dumb. I've showered with liquid soap my whole life and I use a bath sponge with it. Whenever I go on vacation, I use the bar soaps they have in hotels and I can never get the hang of it. It's hard for me to keep the soap from falling and having to pick it back up like every 5 seconds. Is there a trick to learn to keep this from happening or does this happen to you too?

I'm starting to choose my classes for college next year, and I need some help. I'm stuck between Introductory Biological Science, Physical Geography, and Survey of Oceanography. I'm not really a science person, so I'm looking for the simplest/easiest class to pick. Thank you.

My older brother's girlfriend added me on facebook when they were going out, but they broke up 2 years ago. After they broke up she was acting a little stalker-ish, but she's been fine for awhile now and has a new boyfriend. My brother got engaged recently, and I don't think she knows. I'm in an awkward spot because she's always been nice to me, and I don't want to be rude by deleting her. But I also don't think I should stay friends with her on facebook forever. This may sound dumb to some of you, but do you have any suggestions?

I have to give a eulogy for a dead celebrity in my speech class. It's a high school class so I need somebody that they'll be familiar with, somebody that won't be "awkward" to do. It can basically be anybody who's dead, but I haven't found anyone good. Any suggestions?

Okay, so I'm stuck with what I should take as my math and science classes for next year.

With math, I'm between AP and honors calculus. Math doesn't necessarily come naturally to me, but I work hard so I get good grades. I'm not really sure which one I should take though, because I would like to keep an A.

With science, I'm between honors chemistry and AP physics. I don't really like chemistry, but I haven't taken it and I know it would be beneficial. The only thing is that I'm afraid the class might be filled with sophomores and juniors :( And with AP physics, I heard the class was easy, but the teacher isn't great so no one normally passes the AP exam. Anyone know if it would it look bad if I don't have chemistry in my high school curriculum?

I want to get into a good college so this is really important to me. I'm really stuck, so any help is appreciated. If you're wondering, I'm interested in studying something in the business field.

In a group of 15 people, 6 are left-handed and the rest are right-handed. If 7 people are selected at random from this group, find the probability that

a) 3 are left-handed and 4 are right-handed

b) all are right-handed

c) Jim and John, two of the left-handers, are selected

A week ago I went to the collegeboard website, where it says "My SAT" and placed the order to send my 4 free SAT score reports. I printed my order invoice, and I thought everything went through correctly. But today I received an email telling me "Congratulations on taking the SAT®! We noticed you still haven't taken the important step of sending your scores to colleges and scholarship programs." When I go back to the "My SAT" section of the website, it tells me I can still make changes to my order, and I can go through the process of ordering again. I did order again, but it still looks as if it didn't go through. Am I doing something wrong, or will my scores be sent?

Okay, so I'll be a junior next year. I've had straight A's as a freshman and sophomore. I took physical science as a freshman and biology honors as a sophomore. I plan on taking environmental science honors as a junior and AP physics as a senior. I'm already taking 3 AP classes next year, and adding on chem will make it more difficult for me than environmental. Do you think not having chemistry will matter to a university I apply to? I'm not planning on majoring in a medical or science field in college, by the way.

I'm currently a sophomore in geometry (honors). Next year I'm supposed to be taking Algebra 2, but everyone tells me the teacher doesn't know what she's doing and she gives a ridiculously hard project in the beginning of the year. So I'm thinking about taking that online, starting in the summer through the fall, and move up to pre-calculus as my actual school course at the same time. Do you think I should just stick to algebra 2 or advance? I get straight A's but I need to work very hard for them.

Spirit week starts next Monday at my school, and the first theme is dead celebrities. I don't really want to come with something over the top, just anything that's pretty simple. I know that there's going to be a bunch of Michael Jacksons, so please spare that suggestion. I'm white with dark brown hair, if that helps. Anything would be appreciated!

I accidentally pushed a button and now the text and pictures on my internet screen are smaller than usual. The page itself is maximized, but everything on the page is so small. How do I fix this?
