I was wondering if it would be possible for me. I want to do a foreign exchange year during my junior year to go to Germany, so I need to ask my counselor about whether or not I can obtain any credits over there. I want to take German the other 3 years of highschool while here, and honors English all three years. A half a semester of geometry, full year of algebra 2, full year of pre-calc (if I can't take it in Germany), honors history all 3 years, biology, chemistry, etc., and AP German and AP English. I'm going to take forensics and speech/drama as my two main electives. Would I be able to attend college over there? What tests would I need to take? What requirements? Would bring a foreign exchange student during junior year in high school possibly help me into college over there? Any tests that would give me a higher chance of being accepted? Should I do the foreign exchange year at all? I want to know as much as possible before contacting whichever university I'm interested in about what exactly id have to do. Also, which colleges should I attend? I'm considering either going to a theatrical university or maybe studying to be a teacher. And, eventually, what steps would I have to do to apply for citizenship in Germany? Can I do it while I'm in college or would I have to wait?

So if I go in the elliptical for 30 minutes every day, then do 20-30 minutes of strength training, how long will it be till I see results?? I've been doing about 30 minutes of excersises a day for about 2 weeks- planks, push ups, chest flys, wall sits, jumping jacks, crunches... And a break day on Saturdays. I also drink a lot more water (at least 10 cups a day) and eat smaller meals. However, the main thing I want to do is tone up. How many weeks/ months will it take to see results??? Should I add in anything else?? Again, I do a break day on Saturdays.

Specifically England or Scotland. I understand that i would need to take an AP course and/or acquire an IB diploma, get a student visa, and apply for scholarships. However, I'm going to attend a very small town high school this year and I'm unsure as to whether or not they would offer courses like these. I was wondering if they have these courses online and if I would have to show them to my counseler or something. Also, how long would they take? I know that UK students stop secondary school (i think that's what it's called) and then take the AP courses for what they want to study. I'm considering education, some sort of writing (I'm considering being an author or journalist,) or dramatic arts. I don't know what colleges would be best for any of these three.

I also don't know what i would need to do to get an IB diploma, since no one has really exlpained it to me.

Also, i do not yet have my passport but i should be getting it soon. How do i get my visa, where, and how long/ when should i apply for it?

What tests should i take to get into a UK university? How do i take them? When should i?

How do i exactly apply for University's there? What information do i need?

How should i apply for scholarships? I also am in custody of a single mother, so would that offer more scholarships as well?

What about jobs while being a student?

How much does average tuiton cost to attend a good University?

When should i start sending in my applications? Also, what about citizenship?

Okay... This is awkward but I'm gonna ask it anyway. So there's this guy in my English class and I barely know him but school just started a couple days ago, but I occasionally I catch him staring at me... Well a lot... And I haven't been able to get him out of my head. I've never felt like this towards anyone before and I know I barely know him but I WANT to get to know him. The problem is... He's like a rich sorta guy, the ones that went Cotillions and all that stuff. I mean I'm not poor, i have decent clothes but my house isn't the greatest, I'm not a part of the country club and I've never done anything formal in my life. I mean he's not snotty or anything but I feel like I wouldn't have a chance, like he would rather date girls from unbroken families and that live in beautiful houses...

I guess my question is, do middle to upper class guys ever consider going for a lower class girl? Please answer, I'm scared going after him...

I am so tired of people looking at me like I'm satan when I tell the truth.

Let's get this straight. My mom never loved me, okay? She even said she hates me. When my dad left, she just...dumped everything on my shoulders and went into depressive mode. She said it was my fault he left, and she hits me, too.

The other reason is that my family loathes me and I have like one friend in the whole world whom I barely trust. I grew up as an only child, and I only had adults in my family who constantly told me what to do...

It's gotten to the point where I'm depressive myself. Pathetic, isn't it? That just because I'm not loved I'm just as bad as her?

Seriously. She started neglecting me when I was ten. It's gotten worse since then. I try to talk to people about it, but they always ignore me, telling them I should love her, but I CANT. I've tried to force myself for God sakes, and it won't work. They keep saying "she's depressed" or "you shouldn't treat your Mother like that"

Anyway, am I seriously I bad person for not loving my mother? I've even tried taking to a councilor about it, and they said that there must be something abnormally wrong with me... And they called my mom and I got a beating... Yeah...

Seriously though. I WANT to be a good person, I really do, I want to love and be loved back and I want to find loyalty and trust and friendship...but is everyone I talked to right? Am I really a bad person? Am I crazy or something?

Please give your honest answer...

Okay. I started reading this series at 12 and at first I liked it. As I matured, I started disliking it more and more and started obsessing with the mortal instruments, hunger games, etc.

Let me tell you why. I'm sick of people looking at me weird; I LIKE the plot. I just dislike about half of the characters and, OH GOD, THE ******* CRAZY FANS.

In the first book, I liked Annabeth. She was a cool, steady character with a lot of intelligence

But, as the series progressed, I grew to dislike her. I think she's a Mary Sue. I mean, c'mon "smart, strong body, beautiful"?! She does EVERYTHING perfectly. The only flaw she has is pride, and she never shows it AT ALL.

I think another reason I grew to dislike her is THE PERCABETH FANS OMFG. They are ******* physos and they act as though there's no other ship in the world! I don't see what's so great about it!

I feel like Percy is a Ron Weasley in Harry Potters body.

The Percy Jackson series copied Harry potter, I'm sorry, but it did.

Let's see, three Heroes, in an urban area with the smart girl, the loyal best friend, and the hero.

The hero having personal ties to the evil guy?!

I feel like Annabeth is the "improved" version of Hermione Granger. Hermione stood for that, intelligence is what counts, not physical strength or beauty. When Rick created Annabeth he took that concept, stomped on it, and danced on its grave.

I dislike him too. He CANNOT MEK ANY FEMALE CHARACTERS AT ALL. I like Piper and Hazel and Reyna at first...

I don't understand. You complain about her being whiny and selfish, yet she GAVE UP THE WORLD FOR JACE. You also forget that she grew up as a human, because her mom literally took away her memories, causing mistrust. Clary can be stubborn and I'll admit a little overreacting sometimes, but people still seem to forget she grew up as a mundane. She made amends with Alec, supported him and Magnus, and did her best to stop the war. Just because she isn't some "gorgeous, genius heroine" like Tris, Annabeth, Hermione, Katniss, etc., doesn't mean she isn't brave or has a good heart. Her mother TOOK AWAY HER MEMORIES yet she STILL tried her best to find her; I know most people would have just said hell with it. I don't remember her being bossy, as I've just finished the series. Is it like a grudge against reckless redheads or something??? Like seriously, people hate Ginny too! They hate Rachel E. dare as well, yet they love everyone else. Do people literally just hate artistic redheads that are actually INDEPENDENT?! Please explain.

Okay. Before you start with the usual "your not alone God is with you" crap; you should know I no longer believe in God. I stopped years ago... My dad left when I was three and ever sense then my mom blames me for his leaving. She's cruel and hits me, then she starts crying, saying i should do better in school because she's "depressed." And the rest of my family hates me. I can't tell them anything because they always take her side. I have no close friends whatsoever. My mom never let's me do anything outside the house. I literally feel like I'm suffocating most days. And with her constantly being so. cruel... I literally want to kill myself. But I feel like that would give her a benefit, considering I'm a "waste of space" and whatnot. No one loves me. And you wanna know when I realized this? I was 5. FIVE. Right now I'm 13 years old. My mom repeatedly says she hates me and I don't know how much longer I can last. I'm not good with making friends because she never let me get out when I was younger. I just don't know what to do. I can't even love anyone myself... And I feel so bad for it. What should I do? When I'm older, I'm planning on going to college far away and cutting contact with her completely, but I know the real world, and I know it's highly unlikely..... I'm not calling social services, nor will I EVER trust a counceler. Please help...

Ok, so basically "smart, independent woman" or "stay at home slut"

I hate it when country people think their better. I've lived in both places and I can see why all the guys go for the country whores; they cook, and open their legs for anyone. I don't get it though. They don't talk in proper grammar, have no hygiene, an annoying accent, and narrow minded. I've found that city girls are way more independent and intelligent, brave, and daring to go out in the world. The only thing a country girl is good for is cooking and sex. They make up for the missing brain cells with "muscle", and flirt with EVERYONE. They don't even have any open minds whatsoever. They're afraid to go out of their little bubble. Yet, since their "good ole down to earth people who go to church on Sunday and know everyone" that means their better. I've also worked on farms; yes, it's tough, but is getting drunk afterwards really necessary? That simply shows that they have weak minds and are lenient. City girls actually rarely get drunk and are tougher than you think. People think city girls are girly and fake. Actually, I've noticed that country whores are the ones taking hours to put on makeup and are fake *** sluts. City girls, on the other hand, care about their career and grades. They know how the world works and actually have some INTELLIGENCE, unlike the "pretty little southern girls" who are simply whores who know how to cook, and that's about it.
