A couple weeks ago, me and a couple of friends founded an Asian Club at our school to have some fun and spread culture. As we were brainstorming of ideas on what to do for the club, we decided we wanted to do something food related. However, since we wanted to do something simple, someone came up with the idea of just bringing some rice. As an activity, we also thought about doing a rice eating competition to see who could eat a bowl of rice fastest. I know that this is absurd, but today, me and 4 other Asians who help run the club get called down to the principal's office over how the rice eating competition is perpetuating stereotypes and is somehow offensive. Keep in mind that this principal is white and he's talking to 6 asians about what's offensive and what's not for Asians. None of us Asians as well as our parents believe anything about a rice eating competition is racist at all. Personally, I think that rice is a staple of Asian culture, and I don't see how perpetuating the stereotype of rice for Asians is harmful at all. After all, literally 90% of all rice in the world is eaten in Asia, food also means "rice" in many Asian languages, and there are literal freaking rice gods in Asian culture.

Obviously, us 5 Asians plus our parents don't represent all Asians, but I feel like there's nothing offensive about what we did. I'd love to hear any input on this situation from other people so please feel free bash me in the comments if you disagree.

This happened earlier when I was going to school. I was already in line during bag checking and the guard completely stopped me from getting in because I was wearing a class shirt and some baggy pants and like I explained it to her that I had p.e earlier and she just said that I should've changed (I really didn't have p.e but we still could go inside when the shirt is school, class, club related) like bruh my house was a bit far away so I just stood outside the gate and my other classmates who were wearing long sleeves, and the same class shirt as me also couldn't go in like I was getting mad fr like a ton of students couldn't go but some are inside wearing class shirts and colored shirts like we asked and complain bout that and like the guard wouldn't listen she kept repeating that it's Monday and a "strict white day" like wtf this wasn't announced to us which makes it more frustrating because even students wearing white shirts with a small print couldn't go in....worse was they didn't let in Muslim students who were dressing to cover up but it was white but still it ain't "valid" and now I checked the student handbook and remember that we could wear shirts with print as long as its not a provocative message or image. But I managed to get in from borrowing a shirt from my classmate who got in like bruh they never announced about how Monday is "strict day" or that in the student handbook it said nothing about it.

Greetings.

I'm a girl and I sit next to a boy who has a fat crush on me in maths class. Keep in mind I do NOT have a crush on him for all excisting factors.

He smells. He smells horrible. It's like he was sweaty and than put on cologne and than became even more sweaty? Or like two rotting cow heart where blended with dior savage? Besides my horrible description, it is unbearable. I cannot breathe without coughing or even gagging. When he raises his hand, I almost puke. I cannot focus anymore and I'm going insane. PLEASE HELP ME. Also we will not be changing seating charts for the rest of the year.

I hate the poster for spirit werk themes cuz its just ai slop but thats not the point. I know memes i guess but like i dont want it to be too niche but i dont want it to be everyone someone else does. Also im not really on the meme side of tiktok so i dont know any popular ones rn 😭
Maybe ill be toothpaste trump

One of my classmates from IB Language Arts bragged about using his phone to his friends in class, My language arts teacher heard and she quietly called security. When a security officer showed up to take my classmate‘s phone, He was in shock. He looked like Patrick and SpongeBob when they saw a red fish get eaten by a giant eel in The first SpongeBob movie. I laughed at his reaction because what the fuck did he expect was gonna happen? Did he actually expect to get away with that? No way he genuinely thought my language arts teacher was that stupid?. This jackass makes me look smart which is saying something.

i don’t know what to add to the flair and i don’t know the meaning of some flair. it felt like a horror movie
(the liquid is chocolate milk or coffee not blood) (some context: I was taking a nap at school, and I woke up to screaming. My classroom had been turned into a dark room, and I didn’t even know what had happened.)

​

Did it got all the requirements on that side to be cyptolic language analyst. Still gotta take the DVAB but Air Force here I come baby!

also I want to transfer to cia after 6 years and do counterint (SO I CAN BE A SPY) Ik it sounds childish but its actually realistic and I would def enjoy it so wish me luck my friends!

I just dont know what to do anymore. I try so hard to be friends with people and they just dont stick around for very long, and i feel like i have no friends rn and I wish I could go to another highschool but I honestly can't. I dont know how to really hold a conversation or make conversation with people I've never talked to. Please help! I dont want to have no friends all throughout highschool.

Hit me up if you can help

So im a sophomore in high school and I have been taking algebra 2 for over a month and a half. However, I have not been able to pick up anything whatsoever so im basically behind a whole month worth of units and topics. My class is loud and whenever I look at it I just blank. I have ADHD and I have high functioning autism. I do have exemplary grades in history and ELA (AP Seminar is a 95 and AP US Gov is a 97.5) and even chemistry which is a STEM class I have an 84 in and my grade is still increasing! How can I focus more in math, for my neurodivergence you may say get medicated but that is off the table as my mom refuses it for me. I'm open to any help. It also does not help that I want to go to a prestigious school for economics and that my math foundation is shaky. (Forgive me if I used the wrong flair)

Just found out all of my classmate didnt invite me to their students only groupchat. Its only me and one of other friend in a class consists of 35 people. I dont freaking know why they are so mean to me. I dont know if it because I’m boring, or maybe not good at academics or I’m too skinny or ugly or what, idk. But at the same time I’m honestly doesnt care if there is another groupchat without me but I’m just kinda dissapointed. I just thinking what is my problem bruh, am I that badd?? I’ve been so lonely in my new high school and I dont think I have any real friends, all people have their closer friend while I’m not and I’m truly hate when the teacher make groups projects because I know I will be left out. Also my grades are worse in high school. Kinda sick with this situation but at same time I dont want to leave this school because my high school is one of thes best in my country. I just wish I could graduate already but sadly I have 2 more years and stuck with this fuckass all boys school, they said they have ‘brotherhood’ value but for me its just bullshit.

In World History, classmates were groaning and moaning because they had to write 3-4 sentences. As simple reasoning for evidence and a claim. Literally 6th grade stuff. I wanted to see their reactions when they realized what we had to do in English 11.

If anything, I'm grateful 3-4 sentences is all I have to do to be officially qualified to have a complete assignment I can turn in with pride.

Laziness, much? Or reverse Flynn Effect?

I've never once felt so content and elated in MY LIFE BEFORE. It's so refreshing and relieving to know that our isolation will soon cease. Even if I end up being a loner in college, I'm 100% confident it'll be better than high school because at least I won't be confined to a building for 7 consecutive hours 🙃

Physics test, why do I have to explicitly state that the answer is less than 40 km/h??? Why do I have to round it??? AND WHY DO I HAVE TO SHOW WHAT NUMBERS ARE a, b, AND c??? I LITERALLY WROTE IT CORRECTLY??? I AM SHOWING WORK AND ITS NOT ENOUGH???
ffs be fucking competent at your job then tell me what the fuck to do
17.5/18, and before you all say that its only 0.5 off, think about how competitive universites are. 97 in physics is not enough

My favorite pen recently ran out of ink (rip) and the reason I loved it was because it didn't smudge or anything when I would put my hand over it or highlight something so I'm looking for a replacement. I don't remember where I got the original one from.

I'm also left handed, if that helps anything.

So i took advanced functions in gr 11, and so far i have been getting low 90s all of my courses. I know that it is a good mark, however, I need an average that is atleast above 95. I redo the homework, do the reveiws twice, I actually try to understand the material. But for some reason I did better in my IB SL functions course than this class, even though the material is easier. Pls help I genuinely don't know what to do. Am I overstudying or should I just accept my fate????

Hello reddit.
I'm here because I am gravely conflicted. There's this girl in my class that I've known for many years (we're seniors and she's a year older than me) and I find her rather cute.
I've asked her to a formal and she seemed very excited and happy that I asked her.
I've confirmed the "green line theory" in our photos and it's glaringly obvious.
I've asked her older brother )who does not attend the school) on whether he would approve of me asking her out.
He has respectfully denied me.
Now I wouldn't care about this denial..
but he also happens to be one of the two authentic comrades I've ever had.
We're very close and we respect each other.
The idea was that if the formal went well, I would be making the attempt to ask her out for a real date not entwined in the confines of school.
However with this denial, I do not know what to do, and am unsure that if I proceed with asking her out, if that is considered a betrayal to my comrade.
I must say I do believe that if I were to ask her, she would say yes and we could eventually land a dating stage.
Her parents would not be a concern to me since I know them well and they think highly of me.
I plan on making an appeal to him soon.

Hi everyone! I'm part of CENTS (Campaign for Early Numeracy, Teaching, and Savings), a youth-led initiative focused on advancing financial education before ninth grade.

We're working to research how states and school districts approach K–8 financial education, using official policies, education standards, and public documentation.

We're hoping to connect with high school students interested in education policy, financial literacy, research, or advocacy who might want to contribute to this work. It's remote and unpaid, and you don't need prior policy experience.

You can learn more about the initiative at https://www.centscampaign.org/.

At the moment i am averaging a 30% in science and a 30% in math. I keep telling myself ill lock in every week and am just unable to find the motivation to lock in. I do not want to fail and take summer school and a g10 course in g11. Looking for some advice.

give me ideas on what color to paint my nails next :)

for some context, im currently a junior in high school. ive had a crush on this girl since freshman year. last year, we would sit together during lunch, but we wouldn't really talk much. this year, we're on the same bus, and on the first day of school, she asked if we could sit next to each other, which i found kind of weird since we dont rlly talk despite seeing each other every day, but it ofc like made my month. ever since then, weve been sitting next to each other, but we rarely talk, its kind of awkward. we see each other for a few hours in the morning, but we rarely talk too.

id say its mostly my fault we dont talk, she initiates by saying hi sometimes but all i say is hi and i dont really say anything else. i want to talk to her but im honestly scared, i dont even know why, i guess im scared she doesnt feel the same way. id say im shy with everyone in general and always have trouble keeping up with conversations but with her its intensified.

sometimes i feel like she sort of likes me back, but idk even just typing that feels weird and i worry im just being egotistical or something. when she asked me if we could sit together (it was on ig) i remember her note said something like "im scared", and when i said yes she changed her note to a love song. cant tell if its all in my head and im being delusional or what.

so i just wanted to know if anyone else can relate with having literally no social skills and has had trouble with talking to their crush. i always try to hype myself up and say im gonna talk to her but the moment im actually with her my mind just goes blank. literally any help could save me atp
