Don't pay it any attention. It's prolly another one of those shìt tests - it's not worth worrying about. Why do you flip out if she's playing hard to get? Ignore it like nothing happened OR do the same. You be the judge, but whatever you do - don't get upset and show that her test got to ya - do...

Jesus christ... found the article on the net. Is rap and the entire "Tha Hood" "gangsta" crap to blame? Or was he simply fvcked in the head?

If guys respect you, girls will too by default. But girls are not too mindful of violence. It's a guy thing, you know. But yes, popularity depends on how developed your social skill is. But it's very hard to develop both intelligence and social skills at the same time, unless you have an...

My first approach was a group of girls at the pool playing ball. I was doing laps, and the ball missed me by a hair, either by accident or on purpose :). It went on from there. While I never approached before, I thought it to be too perfect an opportunity to waste. I didn't get numbers, made a...

Yah, catholic school tends to make some guys celibate for a long time. I go to a normal high school, and have gone all the way. A lot of guys I know didn't, but the populars seem to have done it all. They have no reason not to.

For example, a captain of a physics club AND a chess club? Not socially inept, but not into the imbecilic crap majority of people are? I think charisma is a factor.

I did some mall approaches a bit ago, and I usually find that if it's a completely cold approach, chances of success are low to none (at least for me, and I'm not that good). However, if you are getting IOIs from her before you open the convo, go in there. I just happen to look good in a...

Just threten him to the point where he will stop harrassing you. Shoving and bumping is alright. It could be passed down as playfighting. Just don't beat the **** out of him if you have no reason to. But if he gives you one, its a go.

And I thought I d never get to see a thread with this title.

You really should. The stupid fvcks that make up 98% of the student body see prom as the major (and final) event in their lives. Most simply DO NOT see past graduation, and thus entering the adult world is foreign to them. No wonder everyone is starting to prepare now.

Yes, you are a flaming flamboyant homosexual :rolleyes: Seriously, how do you feel about it? Do you wanna do him? I kissed a guy (albeit on a cheek), but am a zealous heterosexual. Just shows that you are comfortable with your sexuality (sorry. The phrase is very overused, I know, but it...

--------------------------------------------------- Once again, I apologise for the length, but this is relevant to all high schoolers.

I just posted a relevant essay on high school life. A good read, though a bit long.

The mediocrity of American public schools has worse consequences than just making kids unhappy for six years. It breeds a rebelliousness that actively drives kids away from the things they're supposed to be learning. Like many nerds, probably, it was years after high school before I could...

Teenage kids used to have a more active role in society. In pre-industrial times, they were all apprentices of one sort or another, whether in shops or on farms or even on warships. They weren't left to create their own societies. They were junior members of adult societies. Teenagers seem to...

If I could go back and give my thirteen year old self some advice, the main thing I'd tell him would be to stick his head up and look around. I didn't really grasp it at the time, but the whole world we lived in was as fake as a Twinkie. Not just school, but the entire town. Why do people move...

For me the worst stretch was junior high, when kid culture was new and harsh, and the specialization that would later gradually separate the smarter kids had barely begun. Nearly everyone I've talked to agrees: the nadir is somewhere between eleven and fourteen. In our school it was eighth...

Alberti, arguably the archetype of the Renaissance Man, writes that "no art, however minor, demands less than total dedication if you want to excel in it." I wonder if anyone in the world works harder at anything than American school kids work at popularity. Navy SEALs and neurosurgery residents...

The following essay is taken from http://www.paulgraham.com/nerds.html, and is minimally a very good read. To some, however, this is of more relevance than to others. Forgive me for its length. ------------------------------------------------ When we were in junior high school, my friend...

I have to agree that prom is a retarded pile of stale horseshìt. At our school, however, we have the prom (grad), and then a (chem-free) aftergrad. There's gonna be breathcheck, so I can't get drunk. Besides, the hellhole where I live has a minimum drinking age of 19, instead of 18 like...
