?
How could one possibly solve every problem that one might face in Highschool?
I realized it was possible, when I realized that high school life is very simple.
I think this new "thread" would be an excercise in futility! I can come up with an infinite amount of problems that I might face everyday. In MY highschool, with MY ethnic background, MY psyche, MY current situation. Does that give you any idea of how many POSSIBLE problems a thousand DIFFERENT kids might come up with?
All easily solvable. Remember it pertains only to high school life.
Anyway, even if you made this big, gigantic thread, who would read it? If i had a problem, I wouldnt want to read throught the 200 OTHER PEOPLES problems before mine! unless you were to include a "search" option within your thread, it would be pretty useless, since nobody in their right mind would spend a day reading a thread about problems.
I guess I can divide the qquestions into categories. like
Girls
Social life
personal
sports
etc
But you bring up a good point.
If you want to create a whole new website, using CGI or PHP, and create a search engine within the server of that website, then I could see it working more or less. Maybe you could convince allen to set up a new "search" feature just for your archive of problems?
Unlikely in the extreme, but I should be able to make this easy to navigate.
In other words, instead of you listening to what everyone tells you, and making a descision for them, you could make a thread to help a person go through a "problem solving process." That way, you could solve vrtually any problem that arises. It would be very difficult to come up with a formula, where you could just plug in factors, and have it spit out an answer. But if one thing I learned from algebra and geometry, is that its HELLA EASIER to come up with a formula so that you can just plug in numbers, then to go through every single number, and make a table containing all of the answers. If you tried that, you would never get from "0" to "1" (because of all the decimals).
We already have the HS DJ Bible for that.
I would be very interested in seeing you come up with a universal "formula" for a person to help solve a problem they might face.
Not possible.
If you are willing, then I would be happy to help with a rational approach of ONE TOPIC in your main thread, instead of a million topics. (the one topic being the formula to solve a problem)
I understand completely. I thought this would be impossible to do a while ago as well. But then I realized: If not me, then who? Who else in the HS forum is as commited as me to make successful, people-friendly threads? (aside from The Matrix, that's why I asked him to help!
) The answer is: I don't know, but this should be done, and who better that actively posts than The Matrix: Reloaded + me?
I swear I will devote my blood sweat and urine and sleep time to make this a success. Any skepticism will be blown out of the water. Matrix and I will see to that!
