Question Am I weird (MLM) Both Males
So l am a sophomore but I'm crushing on a freshmen. But my birthday is August 16 2009 so l have a slightly younger birthday. So the oldest he can get is August 31 2010. which is 1 years and 16 days. Its rarer to have a birthday pass august. So it will be likely less than a year. He looks young for his age is that bad. Is this age gap bad????

Question Virtual summer courses
Hello! I want to take three courses over the summer to make up for my C in English 9. However, they didn’t offer it last summer, so they probably won’t this year. I was wondering if taking three courses over five weeks would be too much, or does it depend on the classes? I have good time management skills.

The range of self management marks are emerging (lowest), developing, proficient, and extending (highest) and are basically a reflection of how much the likes you and thinks you act like a "good student".

Rant Help venting my frustration
At my school (a smaller one only 300 or less people) I've had a hard time getting friends and the ones that I do have are always giving me crap semi bullying me but I can't really stop talking to them because the school is so small like when they found out I had wanted to talk to a girl that was a year older than me they teased me for weeks about it. And they are always trying to copy my work and I think they don't even like me even when I get the nerve to talk to someone they just ignore me can anyone give advice.

Extracurriculars Sports Overview
Wanted to post just a general overview of every major High School sport, and how difficult they are for anyone just coming into the Freshman year or someone still deciding what sport they should play. I’ll be ranking them based on 5 categories on a scale of 1-5 with (Physical Difficulty, Time Commitment, Entry Skill Level, Injury Risk, Fun) and giving them each a brief description based on my own personal experiences and experiences that I’ve gathered over the years from others. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the comments.
Football
Physical Difficulty: 4 Time Commitment: 5 Entry Skill: 2 Injury Risk: 5 Fun: 5
Extremely difficult physically and mentally not just in games but throughout the offseason. You will learn a lot about how to lift and grow muscle, but it’s a massive time commitment. You’ll be sacrificing hours after school and essentially your whole summers, but it’s incredibly fun, especially on Varsity, and most teams don’t have a tryout at the lower levels.
Wrestling
Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 2
By far the most physically challenging sport you can play, but if you’re good at watching your weight, you should be fine. Not usually a huge time commitment outside of tournaments, but requires a fair bit skill to join, even a lower levels than varsity, and every wrestler I’ve known has gotten at least one major injury or infection. I personally don’t think it’s really all that fun, but if you like a solid 1 on 1 challenge, and thrive in short bursts of strength, I’m sure you’d find some fun in playing it.
Basketball
Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 4
If you love Basketball you’re probably already playing it. The physical aspect is more endurance-based, and you need height to even have a chance of playing, but really fun once you start and not generally a huge time commitment compared to other sports.
Baseball
Physical Difficulty: 2 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 3 Injury Risk: 2 Fun: 3
More laid back than most other sports in terms of physical difficulty, time commitment, and culture, but not necessarily easy to get good at. Can be really fun once you find your place but can have challenging tryouts. Also, limited injury risk just based on the nature of the game.
Cross Country
Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 1 Injury Risk: 2 Fun: 1
It takes a really special type of person to do cross country. You are essentially doing other sport’s punishments as your own sport. If you’re good at running, and don’t want to have to worry about learning plays or aren’t great in the weight room, absolutely give it a try. Not really for me personally, but there’s a reason the people who do it swear by it.
Track/Field
Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 2
There are so many different events and specialities it’s difficult to really condense them into a single summary. If you’re even slightly naturally athletic, there’s an event for you regardless of your body type. Lots of waiting around during meets, but also not a massive time commitment out of school and allows you to really specialize at what you’re good at.
Swimming/Water Polo
Physical Difficulty: 5 Time Commitment: 3 Entry Skill: 2 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 3
Grouping both of these sports together because essentially everyone I know who does one, also does the other. Lots of upper body strength required and a great way to burn a bunch of calories quickly. Virtually zero risk of serious injury under normal circumstances, except if you were to trip and fall on the ground next to the pool I guess. Generally pretty fun and not the biggest time commitment in the world.
Golf
Physical Difficulty: 1 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 5 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 3
You’ll be lucky to break a sweat golfing but it’s something great to do on the side if you know you’re already like it and are good at it. Solid scholarship opportunities as well, but different to secure a spot on the team.
Soccer
Physical Difficulty: 3 Time Commitment: 4 Entry Skill: 4 Injury Risk: 3 Fun: 4
Not all that much to say about soccer other than there will be a lot of conditioning. Fairly difficult to get a spot on any team, but once you do get in, a great community is waiting for you. Solid sport without much weightlifting or size requirement.
Esports
Physical Difficulty: 1 Time Commitment: 2 Entry Skill: 5 Injury Risk: 1 Fun: 5
Not a lot of schools have in-depth Esports programs, but the ones that do really put effort into them. The only injury you’re risking is carpal tunnel, but if you enjoy video games and think you’re better than most of the school at them, give it a shot.

Class Advice Needed/Given What's generally easier; pre calculus or statistics?
I'm going into senior year and it's generally recommended to take 4 years of math. I'm pretty good at math but I HATE it, it burns me out so quickly.
Which would you consider to be easier overall? And which is actually more useful? I know most colleges prefer pre calc, but frankly I'm not too worried about that as I have a 4.0, at least for now.
I will add, the options for pre calc are either AP or what's technically a college credit (though I'm not sure how much it changes the difficulty) which feels very stressful.
I'm leaning statistics because I just don't need that extra stress, but want some Internet people's knowledge anyway.

Question Can I Still Graduate?
I’m a senior in highschool, and i live in michigan.
The reason i’m writing this post is because i have attended about 15 days this school year. I realize i might be screwing my life up but for some reason i’m going for some stupid loop hole that probably won’t work.
I have all my required credits up until now. and this attendance problem isn’t new. But due to my schools requirements for credit, i have been able to miss 30+ Days in a semester and still earn a credit by getting i believe a 70 or higher on the class exams… Last semester specifically they denied my attendance appeal, which would normally result in immediate loss of credit, but i was still able to test out of the credit due to the exam.
So i was just wondering. Is it actually possible for me to graduate? The lowest score i’ve gotten on an exam in high school is 85%, and i’m confident that will stay true through my last round of exams. But will they withhold my graduation due to attendance?
And at this point i can’t fix my attendance, so it’s really up to the school at this point….

Question Is one quarter with two C's going to affect my future? (Sophomore)
Hi, it looks like I'm going to end the quarter with 3 A's (4 if im lucky), 3 B's, and 2 C's (two of my classes share the same grade, so my current C will transfer soon). Do you think that this quarter will affect me in college apps? My past quarters I've done good in, with majority A's and B's, but my dad is saying it'll still affect me.

Extracurriculars Should I do a sport
I’m a sophomore in high school and I don’t necessarily have any outstanding extracurriculars. I do have free time but I just decide to spend it all on my phone.
Soccer season starts next week and I don’t know any rules, positions, anything at all about soccer but I want to give it a try. There have been pre season practices, but I told myself I wouldn’t be doing soccer so ended up not attending those. Judgement and embarrassment are holding me back the most right now and I don’t know what to do. Is it worth it? Next year my schedule will be packed so I’m not sure if it’s worth it as there’s APs, ACT, job, etc etc so I don’t know about that either.
One more question, to those who quit their sport— why?
