If you had to write an application essay about either bravery/courage to try new things, sisterhood/brotherhood, or respect for self or others, which ones would you choose? And why?

i want free tampons in public bathrooms in public schools in my county. who do i ask

I'm a rising Junior and I plan on taking the (new) SAT late this year for the first time. I really want to be able to get a 1550 (I am trying to aim for a 1600), but I am extremely discouraged and somehow cannot motivate myself to study. As of right now, I am enrolled in a summer SAT bootcamp and my most recent score is around a 1470 ish. I have about a 720 in Reading/Writing and a 750 in Math. Although I was pretty complacent with this score, I just feel overwhelmingly discouraged in comparison to other people from my area. This is because I live in a pretty competitive city with a really challenging curriculum at the high schools. I attended a high school in my district for freshman year, but for the 10th grade I transferred to a fine arts focused charter school in a different district. For my year there, I noticed a very drastic difference in the work load and my work ethic got a lot worse as well. I didn't think much of it, until I started attending this summer school with my friends (from my local high school from 9th grade) and noticing that they all are doing substantially better than I am. Not only that, but two years prior, when we used to go to the same school, I would almost always score higher than them. I feel absolutely terrible and I am starting to really regret my transferring once again. I wake up every day upset about how much dumber I've gotten and I am perpetually tired and unmotivated to study-- even though the SATs are on my mind 24/7.

esp food places, I've never had a job before but i want to work over the summer on weekends

do you think you act smarter/dumber than you actually are?

Around 10ish high school students and I plan to fundraise for the Water for Life project and we were wondering about the legal stuff that's tied to that. We hope to set up a stand kind of like a lemonade stand but for crafts, succulents, henna designs, etc. We were thinking like food centers or parks or something? Any advice will help! thanks

I'm in high school and I was wondering if anyone has participated in the CodeDay 24 hour conference! does anyone know how much it costs too?

I bought 10 henna cones from amazon and they were shipped to me yesterday. They are enclosed with tape and they each have a green nub on the end of it. I started using one of them and the results were really good (I have never used henna before so I do not know much about it). I stored them all in the refrigerator but after doing some online search, it seems that the fridge will only keep it fresh for 1-2 weeks? I bought these henna cones for a fundraiser event since I will be charging $1 or $2 for a henna design but that even will be happening a month from now. Should I freeze my henna cones? They were pre made and in paste form in the tube/cone things.

i'm a sophomore in high school 15y o (wow then why are you stressing out right now such a loser!?!?!?) but i am worried already because I can already tell I probably will end up at a mediocre college but that sucks because i want to go to a decent college like uc berkeley (my sister goes to uc berkeley). yea i am asian so the tangible odds from uc schools are bad for me but i come from upper middle class fam. sorry i don't make sense. aghhhghghh i have straight As this year but last year I got a B in Honors English 1!!!!!! My weighted gpa for this year is 4.2 but you might say well that's good but my friends already have like 4.5 gpa already because I am in Algebra 2 and not Pre Calc yet so my math is average. You might say well why are you bragging you are doing so well smh these azn peoples so azn but i am worried because I have 0 confidence (pretty obvious) and I have NO STRONG POINTS and I dont have any areas of interest!! I want to go to a really good school & I know I am doing okay right now in school but I want to be unique and I am so so so extremely average.... Boring grades boring extracurriculars (just a couple of clubs and local volunteering place).... agh sorry

how do people usually start learning programming? i'm 15 years old and I tried CS50 by edX and it was too hard to me (because I am dumb) and I'm the president of the Girls Who Code club at my school which all we do is look at khan academy's intro to javascript... I know barely anything

I have been listening to rain noise on my computer to help me sleep and usually it plays the entire night and I turn it off when I wake up. Is this bad for my ears?

I know reading comprehension and exposure to literature is really important (esp for the SAT and ACT), but does listening to audiobooks have a worse effect than traditional reading regarding comprehension, vocab, etc?

It's been a semester already at my new school (I'm 15) and I still don't feel adjusted. I live really close to my old school and I still get to see my old friends but I feel like I left my home since I grew up with all the people at my old school. I sit alone during lunch and I've become more antisocial. It used to bother me a lot more but now I have grown accustomed to being alone-- which is something I am ashamed to admit. I want to be more outgoing but I feel like I left a piece of me back with my old friends! Any tips or experiences to share? Thank you anyway

I'm in 10th grade and I want to start reading more to improve my writing/reading/vocabulary skills and also to explore different types of literary styles! Do you know of any books that are funny and show lots of personality from the characters? I tried reading books from the humor genre that are like satire and stuff, but I don't really like those types for some reason

Boo is my favorite booook everrr !!!! Do you guys know of any other good ones that have a similar character and/or sort of plot??

what is normal? what is life? what is love? how many people have had crushes on you and how many people have you had crushes on?

FIRST time I used omegle i'm so freaking scared what have I done!!?!? I know it's irrational because I didn't give any personal information away other than me being a girl but this person said that they were 25 and that scared me. Also that person said asl and according to urban dICTIONARY THAT PERSON IS GOING TO FIND ME AND KILL ME. I'm SO SCARED I DON'T KNOW WHY.

I m trying to make flower crowns to sell for this school fair thing and I am hot gluing faux flowers to a wire but they keep falling off!!! I don t know what kind of glue is best because I don t want it to be toxic

I m a sophomore in high school and I transferred to this art school by my own choice, leaving all my friends at my old school. I don t talk to a lot of them that much anymore, which makes me kind of sad because I love my old friend group and they are the best people I ve met. I still interact with some of my old friends through this community program but it makes me sad how those people are my best friends but I am not any of theirs. I don t fit in at my new school, but it s almost as if I don t WANT to fit in... They are just so different from my old peers; they have a different sense of humor, different culture, and they have a different path for school. I don t know if I want to change. At my new school, they call themselves "the school of the outcasts". (Because it s a charter school for fine arts and performing arts etc). That s so depressing! I ve made a few friends there who I talk to, but I feel like I only talk to them because I see them every day. I can t imagine any of these people to sustain a lifelong friendship with me. Are my standards just too high? Also, I am a relatively studious person and I aim for straight As and I m taking all AP and honors classes. But, I m not at this school just for education. I chose to come here because I thought that I could enjoy myself, not that I don t think that I can have a good time here anymore. I m not going to transfer back by the way; that will mess up everything I ve worked for. Well, sorry for this being so long.Thanks!
