Is my french classroom haunted?

iamcool — Sun, 11 May 2008 00:36:22 -0700

There's this classroom in my school, where I have french class, and I'm always really cold in there, sometimes shivering. This has even happened during summer! No-one else I know has this reaction to this room, and this has never happened in any other room I've been in. This has been going on for over a year, so I'm not getting the flu, and there's no air-con in the room, so I have come to the conclusion that it is haunted. What do you think?

Is getting a university degree the only way?

tinkpixi18 — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:03:15 -0700

Ok my question is why do people say that graduating and getting degrees is the only way to set your life?My dad did all of that and was a college honor student and the best paying job he actually got was 26 $ an hour!With everything he went through he should have a way better job.Than his job told him to lift something really heavy like 350 lbs and he did b/c he boss threatened to fire him and so he messed up his back permanantly and that was six years ago.He got a new lawyer and the judge dug up some dirt on the LNI and seen that they forged signatues and tried to pay him off on 5000$ so now the judge is suing the state LNI and his previous job.So that said doing all of that doesn't get you the best job b/c you never know when something will happen.And people who dropped out have gotten jobs that pay 26$ plus too so you really don't need to graduate unless you're going for being a doc or nurse or stuff like that.All you need to do is know people.Am I right?

Like im crying myself to sleep some nights.

How do people in your school stereotype others?

the_anti_prep — Fri, 02 May 2008 15:33:53 -0700

Jsut wondering... Whats your school "system" like At my school were classified into four divsions and multiple subdivisions like Preps 1) super preps aropastale wearing freaks ok. Blondes, dumbness, freaquent use of the word like all the time basically like the stuff you see in movies. Most would think these people are at the top of the food chain. There more in the middle. 2) jocks. (oddly enough none of these guys dont really play sports) they are a combination of country kids, morons and wiggers( white guys trying to be black). There all dudes btw. Lower mid 3) party hoppers kids that have too good of a life to be on the darkside but yet there really nice people and are pretty cool. So they kinda filp around they basically have the best circumstances of both. These are the people that are at the top. 4) prep losers, these are the wannabe preps they get along with everyone but there not all that cool or whatever so they basically hang amoung there own kind and act like they don't care about what other people think but they do. There at the upper bottom of the prymid. After the dark side losers. Dark side 1) the superpowers,( I have no idea why we got that name) the super powers are the really cool people amoungst the dark side they are just below the party hoppers. There either really hot, really funny, or really awsome basically ( this is my postion of power just me and 10-15 others, yah it's awsome) 2) after wipes, the aw's are the people who are second to the sp's there the people who will do us our little favors, our dirty work, but the reason why there so high up on the pryimid is becouse they tend to know everyone really well, and give good advice but there not quite there. 3) scuz- serious problems there really emo really scary and really dangeorus knife brining pot smoking scary.( I went out with one, man it was fun!!!) 4) f#cking losers, you have to say f#ck it is soo loserish it's crazy, these are the wierdest people, (they talk to plants, I know I've seen it!!!) they have no friends luckally there arn't that many. 5) losers, these people are everyones freinds but they look ugly and there personallity is sorta wack, but there descent enough. Then there are the sustandard groups there are two of them these two groups typically hang amoung there own kind and it depends on the individual whether of not there preps or darksiders. And yes they are racial groups 1) anyone that can speak spanish, looks spanish porterican what have you, latinos basically. 2) african americans. And that is my school "system" I'm just wondering what the schools are like in other places.

There was a whole situation that went on with my teacher.

How can I avoid being bullied for no reason?

funadvice — Thu, 01 May 2008 06:54:36 -0700

I asked a question before about what to do about these two bullies. And most people said to ignore them and not talk to them. But sometimes I don't even say anything or do anything to them, I just sit there and they call me a tomboy because I like basketball or a nerd because I like to read. I didn't ever do anything to them but they call me names anyway. And I'm in the same class as them, so I can't avoid them. They're making me really depressed and unhappy. But if I tell on them they won't stop, and will just add tattletale to the list of names they call me. What do you think I should do?? Or do I just have to live with it?
