I don’t know about this guy…

Is this guy flirting with me or am I overthinking?

There'sthis guy in my English class who sits right next to me. We‘re kinda friends, and he’s pretty popular. His older sister is well-known at school, so he goes to a lot of parties and stuff.

The thing is, he jokes around a lot, but he’s also pretty touchy? Like one time, he saw the ring on my finger and asked if he could try it on. Another time, he compared our hand sizes. If he were just a straight guy, I‘d probably assume he was flirting, but he‘s bi, so now I have no idea if he actually likes me or if he’s just being friendly.

Also, I’m kinda awkward- I usually watch game streaming before first period, and I’m bad at making conversation. And plus I’m so bad at listening so I always end up going, ”What?“ “Sorry?“a lot. What if he thinks I’m ignoring him??

Oh, and another thing- he seems really happy to see me in the mornings, but when we hang out at lunch with a mutual friend, he gets kinda awkward? I don’t know if that means anything.

Does it sound like he’s into me, or am I just writing another high-teen romance novel?

Someone really “loved” their English regents

I remember last year I was taking my last regents exam and we were taking our English regents exam it was us (11th grade) and the 9th grade taking it (they were taking it in the gym class) and I got taken to a separate room bc I cant focus on a room full of people. After I finished my exam my one friend goes up to me and told me while they took their exam some girl bursted out crying and when everyone turned to see why they saw some 9th grader jerking it while doing his exam and then the guy got punched by the girls boyfriend (the one that started crying) and then they started punching each other. And just now my other friend who was in that room told me that boy is now nicknamed “the class jerker” and he still does it during any class💀 anywaysss has anything weird ever happened during your regentssss-?

Being an ELL student in two English honors classes

I have never taken an English class in America before. I am not bad at all but when I read articles, there are some words I don't know. I know verbs, adverb, adjective, noun, but I researched and learned them myself. Our teacher told us that we would write ACES but I didn't even know what it was while everyone else started writing, I couldn't do anything in that class and when I asked my teacher, she didn't tell me exactly what it was. Later, I got help from a friend of mine in the 12th grade. I don't want to drop the honors class. I think I can pass by studying the things I don't know from previous years at home. But I don't know what I should study. If anyone who has taken the English 1 class before can guide me, I would be glad.

Duolingo Study Tool

Hi all, I had an idea for a passion project website / app I would like to build. I'm just trying to gauge interest so I don't spend time building something no-one uses.

My idea was to basically have something super similar to Duolingo, but for high school (and also possibly college) classes. The way it would work is users (students) would put in their class syllabus / notes / class slides / recordings of lessons, possibly textbooks, and the tool would spit out a Duolingo course for that specific subject. What I mean by that is the course would have a large level map with levels (1 level = 1 class session) similar to how the popular language learning tool Duolingo is organized.

Each time you click on a level, you go through a handful of different "mini-games" to learn your class content. These "mini-games" would be things like long-answer, short-answer, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, etc... basically different types of question formats. I want these "mini-games" to also have domain specific things like coding terminals for programming related classes, math visualizations for math related classes, cell diagrams for biology and a bunch of other stuff like that for different majors.

Much like Duolingo, it would also have lots of heavily gamified elements as well. I want it to have (friendly) competition with your friends so you'll be more held accountable for studying, something like leaderboards basically, and I also want it to have progress tracking for each subject as well (like if multiple subjects are covered in a single lecture), and I want the tool to be enjoyable to use in general.

Also I made this short survey just because I love to see specific numbers. I would super appreciate it if you could take a second to fill it out, thanks! Lmk your thoughts.

Am I the problem?? (Grade 11th btw)

I just wanted to ask everyone, is it just me or do I have skill issues? FYI, I attend a high-ranking + well known high school in Sweden, so the curriculum and culture are very different here compared to the USA. I'm an Asian immigrant, have little to no friends and have a weird family dynamic + no siblings. It's really hard being an immigrant in Sweden, specially with the current goverment trying to kick out hardworking people. So altogether, I often feel left out. Nobody ever speaks to me and its a bit hard trying to interact with people during group works.

It feels as if I'm always someone without any purpose and even in my own country, most people in my class never liked me. It was always as if I was out of the family.

I've had 2 years of primary school (8-9) in Sweden and that was the only place that felt like home. Nonetheless, I finally made friends there after a whole year while others usually make friends in a month.

I've always been a good student and never tried to harm anyone in any way. Is it only me who feels that way or is it just me?
