I have found parents and teachers to be wrong. They think they know everything and the teen knows nothing but I’m a teen and I don’t think I know everything and that’s why I ask and there are times that adults can also admit to mistakes! You don’t either know everything! Yes, teenage years are tough…We had another thread on that.
Also, I know a girl in 11th grade who just got engaged so you technically can although I wouldn’t.
When will they announce the winners?
observanteen: its a comfort to know someone else is also in it:)
I heard that teen years are supposed to be the best years many times and I don’t agree. I have many older siblings-2 said they were great and the rest said they were awful. Everyone has different experiences and in mine, I sure hope these are the worst years of my life because they’ve been pretty tough and if adulthood is as bad as this is….
Yerachmiel Begun puts huge responsibilities on these kids which can actually teach them a lot. They can get kicked out quite easily and they know they have to keep to a certain standard. Yes, there may be some kids who go lower in their frumkeit but it depends on the kid and their original strength in their yiddishkeit. Kids who are strong enough won’t go lower because they go into a choir. I know of one kid in particular that’s still yeshivish and the whole choir thing is way past him. That’s just one kid I know of but I’m sure there are more. You can’t make a generalization that kids in the choir go lower in their yiddishkeit and you can’t say the other way around either. There are all different types of kids in the choir to begin with.
I’m the youngest and I hate it. Yes its nice to have some of my own attention but I wish I had more siblings to help out. It’s nice that I have older sisters to teach me about things but its quite annoying when I become the unspoken babysitter when my married siblings come. They dump their kids without even asking and they assume I’ll watch them while really I was planning to go out with a friend. Or while I’m on the phone they’ll be yelling in the background to get this and that for them-soooo annoying. Happens too often:(. Lesson for older siblings: Your younger sister isn’t you slave.
My sister was in the car with her friend’s little sister and their mother was driving. When the mother was trying to get passed someone the little girl called out “move you idiot!” Shows how much kids pick up on what people say.
I’m absolutely petrified of fire. Once during havdalah my shirt caught fire and since then I’m beyond scared. I’m also scared of dogs and cats. Also drunk people and cars (I’m going to be driving soon so I don’t know how I’ll do it).
Just remember to read EVERY detail of the item your bidding for. I had some bad experiences with some things. I wouldn’t buy electronics there because its a bit risky. I bought a camera and all over the page it said BRAND NEW!!!!! and it came refurbished and then I looked at the page and at the bottom in small letters it said refurbished. Really be careful about the warranty. Once I bid for something and the seller was pushing it off for months claiming it was “out of stock” and I canceled it but sometimes they’ll say no returns, exchanges, etc. Also many times you’ll see a seller put an item for almost nothing but the shipping is triple the price so be VERY careful.
You pay a lot to be in a choir and it can mess up a kid but yes, they can shape up later. For some kids, it can be a confidence booster and for others, it can give them too much confidence. You also have to know your kid-if its going to take his head away from normal life.
Popularity can make you happy and get what you need (ex. jobs-if you have many friends they might know of one…). Personally, I can’t understand socially awkward geniouses. Obviously, some amount of brains you need but to be a genious…not me. I prefer to spend my night talking on the phone than studying. And for those of you who say friends come and go, so does money.
ybc,mbc,etc. meaning children singers can get past that (bad middos they picked up) way before marriage so that shouldn’t be a problem. Adult singers can be a different story. I wouldn’t say automatically that a singer=bad middos. Just like a regular person, you have to check. If he’s a nice person, no problem. A lot depends on you if you care to have the whole world knowing your husband and being stopped in the streets, etc. I wouldn’t be able to handle that.
It’s true that out of town there’s much less people on the streets so there’s less people to say GS to so people say it more. BUT, maybe in other oot places its like this but in LA I definitely don’t know most of the people I meet in the street.
In LA everyone really says good shabbos to each other. If its like some chassidish person who doesn’t look at girls I wouldn’t say GS to him but really, out of decency there’s nothing wrong with saying GS to someone you don’t know or a boy. You’re becoming friends with them because you said GS.
Exercise and don’t eat junk or white flower or a lot of oil. I’m doing it and it’s working well.
S2021-NOT TRUE!! People don’t understand what emotional or mental conditions mean. The person CANNOT control it (in many cases). There are things they can do to eliminate the pain but they didn’t put themselves into that emotional or mental state. There are people who are on medication-because the CAN’T control it. Trust me, unfortunately I have lots of experience.
And about which is worse-when I’m in physical pain I think emotional is better; when I’m in emotional I think physical.:)
I asked this question to a rav who said that it depends on the family. If all the children are products of their home then yes, looking into their brother would be relevant. However, there are so many (if not most) families with children that are self-made to either extreme. I have a friend who’s brother’s going OTD but she is a terrific girl. In such a case, that one brother wouldn’t make a difference (she has many more good brothers).
I need a good, oil free, long lasting cover-up (bad acne).The ones I use come off very easily and don’t really cover up well. Anyone?
“What do you do if you’re out on a date and the girl slips on a patch of ice, do you let her fall or do you try to catch her? “
all i could say is MORTIFYING. i truly hope it never happened to anyone! and i don’t know what i would do!!!
About walking to the door… in my opinion when you make a big deal about something it becomes a big deal chill out! so he didn’t walk you to the door.
definitely don’t initiate but once they said hello u can smile or nod in response
When I was really little I wanted to be s/t in the medical field. As a teen, yes a job in the medical field is well paying usually but I can’t stand the sadness it can involve. Now I want to be a makeup artist, hair stylist, or web designer. I doubt I’ll end up in any of those fields. I like the thought of working from home which usually is something with computers.
Personally, I don’t like the natural moosed curls when there consistent. If its more like gentle curls and not frizzy, it actually should look really good. Straight I find is easier based on my hair (basically straight). I have to work to make curls so its a different story.
I just hope I don’t give myself away… Um…loud but also a drop shy, outgoing (I do well in a bigger setting that smaller), persuading, stubborn, any more will give me away. I don’t know what else but I wouldn’t write these things on a public resume lol.
I can never find in non-jewish stores. I end up buying skirts from the few jewish stores were have here but every time i come to ny just walk up and down coney island and ull find s/t. Yeah, theyre very pricy but if theres a sale it shouldnt be too bad.
they’re all full of drama! I love “charades” and also i liked the old ones. they’re all great
First of all, as someone said it depends a lot on minhag hamakom. Also, it really is different in the city than in the mountains. I wouldn’t ride anything in the city but I think in the mountains I would.
Yaakov Shweke and Baruch Levine
omg You east coasters are so lucky! We wish we had snow and we wish we wouldn’t have school.
I’m usually on the phone or doing homework and as a btw I come here every so often. No, your life should not revolve around the cr.
I think we need a thread for everyone to say their gender and about how old they are. Honestly I don’t want a 10-year-old answering my questions. I don’t mean like 28 or 30 I mean like H.S., post H.S. but unmarried, married, parents, grandparents, etc. GET IT?? We’ll see if anyone else agrees. I don’t say certain things because I don’t want a ten-year-old or something to answer as if he were my great-grandfather… What do u guys think?
What about all the old posters? I miss them!
I broke it already:( I wasn’t feeling well, as usual. The only fasts I really fast on end up being yom kippur and tisha bav because I am a horrible faster.
omg this is really sad WIY why???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve said way too many times that I’m a girl. I still can’t figure everyone out and that’s why it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put which gender it is under the username.
I started posting less because I am very busy with school stuff but yup I’m still here. The days that I do post I usually go on for a long time and skim the board, go to the threads that sound interesting, post a bunch of things and then don’t go on for another while. I don’t live in the cr like I used to.;)
Okay I didn’t realize this thread was on again but I want to clarify a few points. I know the supposedly “chassidish” school VERY well and no, you can’t say the whole school is chassidish or any type but majority is one type and if you aren’t that type it may be difficult to fit in. There are tons of litvaks and sefardim. It is not just small, it is TINY as in 9 girls or something like that in the 9th grade.
I also want to say that BYLA is not just “Rabbi Bursyn Pressures”-I don’t understand how anyone can say that? If you go to BYLA you are agreeing to follow certain standards that most BYs around the world would have and most BYs are even more yeshivish because LA doesn’t have that many people like NY does to make it so specific. I will say that usually there are different crowds of girls in every grade like the yeshivish, not so yeshivish, etc but there are very fine girls there and girls who are being worked on. Also, the cheder and Toras Emes elementary schools don’t have a high school, they are separate schools but majority of the girls continue on to those schools.
From what I’ve seen and heard Bnos Devorah was supposed to be in between BYLA and YULA but I think that its more like VTC right now.
by girl sorry i didnt reply for a long time but nope i dont live in ny so its not your school but i pretty much think everyone has heard about them.
Although Rabbi Fishel Schechter is really a children’s speaker he’s terrific for all ages. I heard him in camp a few times and he’s AMAZING!
wake up at..um…2about and then go shopping with some frenz or do some hmwk or sit here on the cr or just laze around talking on the fone.
can someone tell me about if u need the separate adapter or not because I want to order
by girl my skewl has the same thing. nobody stops…a whole day. BTW, anyone saw the video of the proposal with the maccabeats? I just think its waaaaaaacky!!!!
Perfect timing. We’re about to order but a quick question. If we’re getting just one mat and its for our computer, do we need the adapter separately or the family pack comes with whatever it needs to be connected? BTW, I also heard about someone else who got the dance machine that their mats weren’t working so maybe its an overall problem.
wannabe
My sis. won the digital camera stuff one year in the oorah chinese auction.
OMG! Right on target woaaaa do I wanna yell at all those teachers who think that because they are “staff” they can say and do whatever they want. They talk about students left and right and make everything that’s not quite litoeles into it and spit out abnoxious comments about whoever they feel like…k I’m just venting lol. No, but really they all have big mouths. k not all but most.
I hate reading so I’ll never leave the table to read…another story if my friend comes:).
I don’t think girlzone is for you at all. From what I know only kiruv kids go as campers there. Some ideas I can think of are Chedva, Sternberg, Raninu and Dina. I can’t say they’re all for you because I didn’t go to any of them but you can definitely check into them.
