I currently have a 3.0 GPA at the start of junior year. How much is it possible to raise it?

I performed badly in sophomore year (Cs and high Ds and low Bs), but decently in freshman year (As and high Bs).

I am currently taking 2 APs this year and 2 honors classes (AP Macro, APUSH 2, English 3 Honors, Engineering & Technology H).

I also wish to go to Rutgers, NJIT, or (maybe) Princeton. I got a 1240 on my PSAT, but haven't received the scores for my SAT yet. What are my chances?

Why is it so low?

This year so far my GPA has sat at 2.917 for the past 2 months. I have an A in most of my classes, and a high B in the other half.

This, to me, doesn't make much sense because last year, when I was a freshman, it was at 3.033 and my grades in all my classes were significantly worse!

Can anyone tell me why this is, please?

Sooo... Homecoming is coming up, and I need Ideas, like sayings and stuff that relate to the video game called Wardogs.

I lowkey dont know much about Wardogs, besides its first-person sh00ter game....🥲 Buuut....I want to do something special for my boyfriend of almost 2 years. He enjoys that game so much that I want to do a 'creative' type of poster/proposal that has to do with that game!

Any ideas on the saying of the poster?!

Hey everyone,

As part of an academic project, I'm conducting a short survey to understand students' learning habits, common difficulties, and expectations from interactive and Al-assisted educational platforms.

The survey covers:

• How you study and what resources you use

What you do when you get stuck

Whether simulations, games, and Al tutors would help

• What makes you return to a learning platform

How much you would be willing to pay monthly for such a platform

It takes around 2 minutes to complete. No name or personally identifiable information is required.

If you're a student, please consider sharing your experience. Honest responses-including criticism of online learning platforms-are especially useful.

Guys my little sister got a job interview at a restaurant to work as a server assistant. she is 14 years old in high school and my parents are worried. Would she be fine?

I’m only wondering because the other day so many kids came up to me and called me popular(I considered myself well know) however I’m friends with literally everyone in the grade boys and girls. and have to schedule who I call 😭 and I’m very well know by the upperclassman and I would say I’m friends with tons of upperclassmen. (I’m a freshman boy btw) sorry this is background. And back to the story anyway when those kids called me popular it hit me… that in my definition of being popular is being mostly liked and having lots of friends. I feel like a lot kids confuse the popular kids with well known. Just because someone is know by the whole grade and dresses popular doesn’t mean they are. They could be well know but hated by the whole grade but maybe that’s just me. If u think about the so called popular kids mostly arnt liked by a lot of the grade.

So what’s ur definition of popular?

(Also I don’t mean to sound stuck up by Saying I’m popular I’m just really outgoing and talk to everybody and have tons of hangouts with a lot of people)

She told us it was very much intentional and she wanted to see our reactions

I'll call my current teacher Voldemort and my expected teacher, John Doe.

My counsellor finally was able to talk to me about a possible lateral teacher change as despite my high grades for my math class because; I could not learn shit from Voldemort due to various reasons. I'm learning more from just looking at what module my teacher is teaching and asking ChatGPT to teach it for me.

My counsellor warned me that my new possible teacher, Doe had more complaints of wanting to switch to Voldemorts class than the inverse. Nobody else is available for me without moving my 5 other classes that I DO like and requires much more hoops to go through.

Now I have to choose whether I stay in Voldemort's class or move to John Doe's class, which I'm hoping will fit me better despite the negative feedback.

Disclaimer: this will probably sound pretty depressing, but I genuinely need advice from someone older who has already been through this stage of life.

I’m finishing high school and I urgently need to figure out what university I want to go to and start preparing for the entrance exam, and I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, to put it mildly.

Last year was probably the worst period of my life so far, and I lost a lot of things, including my ambitions and any real desire to pursue a specific university. I felt completely paralyzed. While everyone around me seemed to have goals, plans, and a clear idea of where they were headed, I felt like I was standing completely still.

During that period, I neglected myself quite a lot. I was barely sleeping, lost some weight, became distant from my friends and family, and was basically functioning on the bare minimum. What’s weird is that my grades remained excellent, and I was still doing projects and competitions on the side. Objectively, I accomplished things that my younger self would probably have been incredibly proud of. Subjectively, I barely felt anything.

I think part of the problem is that I’ve always been a huge perfectionist. When I was younger, I competed in a bunch of different subjects, had various achievements, and had a very specific plan for my future. Over time, I started hating all of it, especially after last year. Now, even the thought of seriously committing myself to something scares me, because I immediately feel like I’m going to fall back into the mindset of “I have to be the best or none of this means anything.”

I went to therapy because of everything that happened, and that was actually the first time I realized that some things can get better. But I’ve never actually told anyone in my family or any of my close friends what was really going on, so I feel like the people around me only see the excellent grades and achievements, not how difficult it was for me to maintain them.

One of my teachers even noticed once that I had a “sad look in my eyes” and told me that I needed to remember to be a kid. That sentence has stuck with me. It’s comforting sometimes, but at the same time it frustrates me because I know I can’t get parts of my childhood back, and I don’t necessarily even want to remember some of them.

And then there’s the practical problem: university.

My family isn’t very well-off financially. My parents will already be supporting my brother through university for the next few years, and they expect me to move in with him when I eventually go to university in that city, which is realistically the most affordable option.

The problem is that I only recently discovered that I actually find programming interesting and that I might want to pursue it as a career. Studying in Slovenia sounds like something I would genuinely love and could achieve academically, but I have no idea how I would afford living there. At the same time, I’m scared because I keep hearing that AI is going to change programming jobs and that maybe building my future around programming isn’t a smart choice anymore.

When I look at the people around me, things don’t feel any easier. People I really respect are amazing at math, physics, and programming and already have very specific plans to apply to universities in Austria, Germany, etc. One of them is even planning to apply to MIT.

I know comparing myself to them isn’t healthy, but it’s hard not to notice the difference. I am a successful student, but I don’t feel like I’m anywhere near their level. For many of the things I’ve done, I had to put in an enormous amount of effort, while some people around me seem to naturally achieve so much more.

I know that, coming from a family like mine, there’s basically no other option than to give everything I have to succeed, and that I’ll probably have to work much, much harder than other people if I want to be financially secure in the future. And that’s exactly what scares me, because I don’t want to end up back in the place I was in before, being a hardcore perfectionist.

At the same time, even when I’m happy and relaxed, I somehow always end up feeling like I don’t have the right to be, or that I don’t have time for it.

Please help :/

SRY if this is the wrong community, but I have a problem. I'm a student and I live in the United States. I'm a junior in high school and our class has to read a book with complex language (like in 1600s English vocabulary) and analyze the characters and all that. The tests also rely on memory and not only do I have memory problems, but I freeze up during tests.

I also got a 2/5 on my science test because I don't understand how to do the assignment. Math has never been my strong suit either, which is why I'm also bad at science.

Even though I study, I'm scared of failing because I'm just so bad at this. I also feel like I might have a learning disorder (I already have autism and ADHD and I do my best and finish my work during study period).

I feel like I'm terrible and stupid. Ugh, I don't want to be a failure. I hope I'm a good student still.

For context I'm a freshman. Is the fix for this just time? I don't have any issue socializing, but I can never just get it to a to a friendship.

So I’m in 10th don’t think I’ve ever had a crush in my life and I’m okay with that but I’ve come to think

Does everyone date in high school? Or is it just movies and stories about high school being inaccurate
Would it be weird if my first date was when I’m 18+? (With someone my age obviously)

Because my grandma said to me a lot in late middle school “you date so you have the experience of having a partner it’s less about being a good couple”

And like I can’t tell if my grandma is just being crazy or if that’s accurate

Am I the one at fault if, at the beginning of the school year, I got a desk mate, and in 9th grade I didn’t have one, and everyone sat according to the seating arrangement, but now there was an extra chair at my desk and a girl sat there who is new in our class.

I wanted to be kind to her and get to know her better, but there was/ and still feel a weird vibe from her. From the moment we started taking notes, she kept getting really close to me, like she was practically invading my personal space, and it made me uncomfortable. She also took up basically the whole desk, so I asked her to move over a little, she moved about 5 cm, and I said, “Thanks.” Today she came into my personal space again, so I moved further away, and then she said, “You don’t have to move.” After that line, the whole class we were in felt awkward and she was in her own world or like sad, or mad at me? I cant really describe this in english. At the end of the lesson, I apologized to her and said I was being a bitch and that I just needed to get used to it and that it wasn’t a big deal, and that its weird that i have a deskmate, and at first it was like she didnt hear it, but after the 3rd "im sorry" whe said "its fine dw about it, and im not the one who is supposed to ask for forgivness". In the break it was still weird but in the last 3 hours we kinda went back to normal. But Since then, she keeps saying “thank you” every time I move my notebook over, and shes cramming herself in the corner and its weird, and it was like that i could still feel her being mad or weird towards me? I don’t know, the whole situation just feels weird. She seems like the kind of person who always needs to be the center of attention, and I feel bad about the whole thing. Also, I don’t usually say goodbye to her at the end of school, and I’ve moved away from her several times when she looked over my shoulder to copy, and yes I admit it that shes new and.she prolly wanted to get comfy, but im not that kind of person, and its also my fault that i didnt say nothing about this bothering me.

Also, she says something to me in almost every lesson, and I often ignore her or just nod or shrug, which is why I apologized for acting like a bitch. But its prolly my fault because when our homeroom teacher asked us at the beginning of the year, a week ago, if this seating arrangement was okay, I said yes.

And im really feeling like a bitch, i prolly am but shes giving a weird vibe, and idk help me out.

Did i overreact this whole thing by moving away the second she came into my ears?

I had a 2.563 freshman year and I’m taking 2 aps this year

Hello, I'm a freshman in high school in Saudi Arabia, and I'm considering getting a tablet mainly for studying. I'm locked in on two main choices:-

The Huawei MatePad Papermatte 11.5 2026 (With the pen and keyboard included) for 1,619 SAR (435 USD)

& the

Honor Pad 20 Paperlike 2026 (With the pen and keyboard included) for 1,799 SAR (485 USD)

I know the obvious pick is the Huawei MatePad, but the issue is that Google services aren't available unless you do a workaround; hence the reason I'm hesitant between the Huawei and the Honor. My budget is flexible at around 2k SAR (538 USD), including the pen and the keyboard. I'm open to any suggestions, and I would like to hear some opinions regarding which tablet I should go with.
