7th grade math crct questons

I'm not 100% sure if this is allowed so lmk if not!
I'm 16 and in y11 doing GCSEs, and after our A-levels, me and my friend (we'll be 18 and 17) want to go on a long trip abroad in Japan, so obviously I need to save quite a bit of money. Our parents will help, but I still need to save a decent amount to afford plane tickets, hotels, food, ect.
Currently, I get £10 a week by tutoring Maths, but the boy I tutor is not always available, so in reality I get only £10 every 2-ish weeks on average. I also volunteer 1h week at an after school club, but don't get paid, however, I might be in the future (y12 onwards). In addition, I have a work experience placement I may be able to do (my school still hasn't signed the permission slip despite me reminding them several times in person and via email I currently do not have that much money- only ~£200 saved, because I have a sugar and sweet buying problem, where I spend £1-3 3-5 days a week (This doesn't sound like a lot but it really adds up quick) and I also don't earn enough to afford such a big trip, especially since my friend wants to do lots of shopping in Japan, I want to visit as many historical locations as possible. I also (rarely) meet up with my friends, and often spend £10-20, sometimes covered fully/ partially by my parents.
How can I save more money, limit my spending, and possible increase my income through any part time jobs?
I have quite a bit of work experience (FOR MY AGE!!!) in STEM and with children- I have done 2 lab projects, tutor, volunteer at an after school club, used to help kids learn mandarin, and have also done many competitions in Maths, Physics, Logic, and Programming, and placed highly in all apart from the last, I'm fluent in Russian and English and have been learning German for 5 years and Mandarin for 7, but I don't have my GCSE grades yet apart from my 9 in Russian last year, but I am doing 12 this year, if that helps with what jobs I can do :))
Thank you <3

Who is Brookmount Explorations, Inc?
Brookmount Explorations, Inc ($BMXI) is an operator of producing gold properties in the Republic of Indonesia. The Company currently operates 2 gold producing properties in volcanic hosted sediment within the tropical rain forest region of Sulawesi Province in north east Indonesia and is in the process of acquiring additional high grade properties in the area, which was originally surveyed and developed by Newmont Mining of the US. The Company is incorporated in Nevada and was organized for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties. The Company recently acquired a 5000 hectare gold property in the Tintina gold belt in the Yukon area of Canada and a smaller property in the Alaska USA portion of the Tintina Gold Belt.

Why should I really strongly take consideration on this GOLD mining and operator junior company?
As of recent, Gold prices have been taken center stage with prices exceeding (($2400 / ounce)). That being stated, $BMXI has been putting together their 2021, 2022, and 2023 financial forms for inclusion for PCAOB Audit set to finish this MAY 2024 (has been worked on for some time now) being completed by a firm out of Australia called "Hall Chadwick".

• Hall Chadwick is one of the largest and most experienced accounting groups in Australia servicing clients in every major capital city and many regional centres in Australia. (Hall Chadwick Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors)

One thing to note about this operator is that they are highly profitable off a single mine in Talawaan, Indonesia. While they have a heap leeching mine in Alason (starting back up this quarter), and recent purchases in United States and Canada (Atlin, McArthur, and Yukon), this Junior mining company is looking to expand, with a LOT of coin in their pocket. Here is a link to figures of their net income, profit, liabilities, total assets, and operating expenses:
Kevin C on X: "$BMXI u/brookmountgold is a Junior #mining operations company producing #gold in Indonesia, and soon in North America. With a 3-year #PCAOB #Audit to be completed (End of May), and future #Nasdaq #uplist, here is the #preciousmetals company by the numbers! $SPZI $IGBK $FBEC $PDGO https://t.co/kO0FaJjuzi" / X
Link to their disclosures: BMXI - Brookmount Explorations, Inc. Disclosure OTC Markets
As of current, their total assets exceed: $45,650,000
Total Liabilities: $2,700,000
Net Income: $10,000,000 (YoY)
Operating Expenses: $1,600,000 approx.
What is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO enticing about this company if the above doesn't already look good is that they are sitting on $20,000,000 in cash / gold reserves that is stuck in Talawaan, Indonesia, their first venture. As of today, they have agreed and accepted the conditions to buy out the entire Talawaan mine by June 30.
Part of the agreement with their partner in Talawaan, was that most, if not all the production would be held at that mine for operating costs and upkeep. That agreement will go away when Brookmount Explorations Inc ($BMXI) outright buys the entire mine.
Additionally, currently, they are starting to open back their Alason heep leeching mine that was forced closed during COVID. At that time and recently, they havent been able to start it back up because their cash has been held in Talawaan. To keep working, $BMXI, CEO Nils Olquist has to use Leonite Capital Hedge Fund ((3) Leonite Capital: Overview LinkedIn) as a capital alternative and dilute the stock so they could use funds to stay operational, while seizing on deals in the United States and Canada (This has come to an end, diluting has ended by Leonite).
Their plan is to get their North American mines up and running this summer 2024, break even, and be ready to run next season. In doing so, they needed cash infusion to pay for this land and seize the day while their cash is currently being held up until June 30 of this year.
They plan to spinoff the North American property into its own stock that is majority owned by Brookmount Explorations Inc, which also will end up being audited. For loyal shareholders, they will receive complimentary percentaged shares into the spinoff.
There is a lot planned and, in the works, but the central driving forces here is that END OF MAY the plan is for Hall Chadwick to finish the audit, and Brookmount Explorations Inc to list itself onto the Nasdaq Exchange. Recent tweet last night drives home the fact that the audit is finally coming to an end and all the financials will be solidified.
Brookmount Gold on X: "$BMXI We are pleased to announce that our CEO Nils Ollquist has just arrived in Melbourne, Australia, and will joined by CFO Chris Lim, and Board Member Fred Kempson at a meeting this week with representatives from our auditor, Hall Chadwick. The meeting will aim to address any" / X
You will not find Gold Mining outfits like this anywhere that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Undervalued while listing assets, net income, and liabilities this company has. For instance, compare it to $SDRC, which sits at $.30 and hasnt produced gold. You can compare this stock equivalently to Nasdaq gold mining stocks and our comparable blows them out of the water. You can do the math. The EPS of $BMXI is .10-.12.

TL;DR I (14F) don't know what to do about my friend/classmate (15M) who has love-hate (this is kind of an exaggeration) feelings for me.
We're in the same class and graduating 8th grade in less than a month and I'm asking for help because I don't want to be the villain in his life. I'm always stressed about hurting people and I only ever tried to be kind and honest, but I was stupid and I messed up this time. I don't want him to remember me as the exact thing I am not. I hate conflict and being mean. I would rather compromise than hurt somebody's feelings, but now I am just at loss.
We started talking more in October and then got pretty close in November and December. We'll call him D. We went out mid December at the mall to buy a book for school and I ended up buying Christmas presents. He helped me pick stuff for all of my friends and then we ate. It was very much a date-like hangout and we even walked arm in arm to the bus stop at the mall. He also walked me from the bus stop to my front door.
Fast forward to a day before our school's Christmas event. I told my friends that I kind of liked him and they convinced me to tell him. I told him and we texted some more at home then we agreed to talk the next day after the event. That evening I thought about it all and I realized that I wasn't ready for a relationship. I am 14 after all and I have the most important exam of my life so far at the end of the school year (this is just the schooling system in my country). The next day I avoided him and then at home I explained everything through text because I was too anxious to do it face-to-face. I was a wimp and I wish I had the guts to actually talk to him. I apologized countless times. I felt horrible and I can't even imagine how it was for him. I still kinda hate myself for it, but at the time I believed it was for the best.
I thought about the whole ordeal and it made me realize I might have attachment issues. I'm so obsessed with being loved (I grew up very lonely) that I feel a certain level of romantic attraction towards anyone who gives me a little more attention (especially men which I know is terrible). I also don't mean this as an excuse, but rather as an explanation to why I acted the way I did. I liked how D made me feel about myself, not actually him (this is horrible, I know). After I explained everything I felt he was cool about it and I actually thought that maybe things were okay. I told him i wasn't going out until after New Year's because I was very busy with family (I wasn't avoiding him purposely I was actually busy) yet for about a week straight he asked me 2 times every day where I was which was kinda weird and made me not want to go out at all even after New Year's.
Fast forward to this March when a common acquaintance of ours (not in our class) talked to D because he'd heard from a friend of his that D still liked me. D told this acquaintance that he does indeed still like me, that I look good and that he likes my big breasts (he said this in a much less respectful way). I was shocked because I couldn't fathom D still liking me after I'd been a total witch to him. We'd been ignoring each other mostly ever since December and even though we agreed to stay friends and I was very confused.
A few days later I was talking to a good friend of mine, D's deskmate, and mentioned the acquaintance who told me D still liked me. I just repeated something funny he said. I didn't say anything about D because he was right there, but D got mad (he probably found out I knew stuff) and broke a pencil. I'd seen that he had problems with anger and jealousy (he used to read my texts to my online friend on the other side of the world who is also a guy and got upset when I'd say they're personal and we weren't even together), but I didn't think it was that bad.
My friend (we'll call her R) told me she found out from another friend in our group that I was driving D crazy with telling his deskmate (a very close friend of mine) about stuff like weird fanfiction about my favourite singer (Gerard Way) and my variety of dirty jokes. From what R understood, he didn't like me speaking about sexual stuff (I haven't done anything like that, it's just an interesting topic to me) around him. I didn't understand why it would bother him, but apparently it did. Maybe jealousy? I don't know.
Nothing much happened until this Saturday when our whole class was taking album photos. The basic and typically "popular" girl in our class invited my group (the 7 emo girls basically) alongside her group (her another 3 people) to the new Japanese restaurant in town. We get along fine with them, though they kinda gossip about us sometimes, so we gladly agreed to eat with them. A girl in our group (whom D liked last year; she was much harsher in rejecting him - she blocked him on all platforms) is a tad bit closer to the popular girl, so the two of them made the reservation for 11 people at the restaurant.
During the shoot, D and another classmate that we're not very close friends with (they're chill, we just don't talk all that much) overheard our sushi plans and asked me if we were going. I said yes and tried to kindly say that we have a reservation already for 11 people and that they can tag along, but sit at another table. I felt bad because I've been excluded countless times in social situations in my life and I didn't want them to feel that. Their parents who were also there questioned me and I was too ashamed to lie, so I said that yes, we had a reservation. D and the other person didn't come in the end.
That evening I texted D apologizing and explaining that I was just invited and that I wasn't the one making the reservation. He said that it's okay and not my fault and he said that the other person was also not mad at me. He asked me why i was so obsessed with apologizing and I made a sharp remark I didn't think through about being annoyed at my friends' insensitivity about excluding them. He asked me why I was telling him all that and I told him to forget it. He encouraged me to continue and just speak my mind. I said no and told him I only had a question. I asked "do you still like me?" and I proceeded to explain why that would be impossible. He said I was changing the subject and I didn't realize that he was the one doing it in reality. He told me again to just speak and that nobody else will know whatever I tell him. I refused, but he somehow convinced me and I made a small confession about being lonely and feeling like only 3 people truly like me. It wasn't as personal as it may seem because I have much deeper feelings I have never told anyone, but I was still shocked that he somehow made me spit out things it takes a lot of hard work to get me to say as I am a very introverted and closed off person. For some context I was literally shaking and hyperventilating from anxiety throughout the whole conversation. I asked him again if he still liked me and he responded in the morning, completely ignoring the question and asking about a math test we recently took.
Yesterday evening, on Sunday, I talked to another classmate and friend (again not very close, but he's nice) whom I'll call L. L told me D had sent the group chat with the other person who I apologized to for the sushi thing, L and another classmate (I presume) screenshots of our whole conversation (even though he promised he'd keep his mouth shut). L sent me a screenshot of D saying I played him before and after I rejected him and said I manipulated him and only pretended to be interested in the things he liked just to get close to him (for the record, I'm a big listener, I love hearing my friends talk about their passions and interests). He also said he hated me. I was shocked and very upset because while telling me everything is alright and that the mess in my mind will get better, he was talking nonsense about me to others and sharing private information.
I told my friends about all of this. R said it's all my fault and that I did give him false hopes even after I rejected him and that I give him too much importance. She basically said I'm a bad person because I told D I wasn't ready to date anybody after saying I liked him. She probably believes I did it for kicks, just like D thinks, but I swear on everything I have that I'm just very dumb and I have no idea how to navigate human relations. I'm a massive people pleaser and it shows. Two friends said that it is what it is and another four said that it is totally not my fault and that I did not give him false hopes after I rejected him and that I barely even acknowledged him during that time (I also think so, but R said I kept flirting with him - I ignored him completely and he ignored me just the same so I am very confused as to what she deems "flirting"). They said I communicated clearly that it's not him, but rather a personal issue and that I am very sorry and I will respect his decision if he doesn't want us to talk or be friends at all anymore. I am in a dilemma.
I feel like a bad bad bad person for what I did and how I acted and I have no idea if R is right and that I did keep giving him false hopes or if all of my other friends are right and it's not my fault. I never thought that my behavior (existing in his perimeter) would be considered as flirting, but apparently R thinks otherwise. In R's opinion sending him two TikToks in 3 months and talking to him 3 maybe 4 times through text and another two face-to-face from December to now was too much attention.
So, am I a horrible person who deserves unhappiness or is D just overreacting and being manipulative and toxic? Please help this is really messing with my mind.

Just doing the math..although at grade 10 Crip Rathy equates to higher totals than regular Rathy..the difference in elemental stats makes me wonder if Crip Rathy is ever worth it ?

I'm a 17-year-old male from Mumbai, and I hate myself. My ego was sky-high, and I finally got humbled hard today. I decided to prepare for JEE immediately after my 10th examination, for which I worked very hard (I got 92% in my SSC examination). I dove in headfirst for my JEE preparation and joined a coaching center near my house. It was the worst decision I ever made. The faculty were irresponsible, the teachers were terrible, and the weekly tests weren't even according to the JEE pattern, with multiple errors in the questions. Unfortunately, I was too busy flexing my 10th board marks to realize this. Saying I was overconfident would be an understatement. I genuinely thought I would get into IITB. Time went by, and I wasted my first year (11th grade). I paid attention during lectures and made class notes, but I didn't revise them after coming home and didn't practice enough questions.
My second year started, and one day I realized that I was wasting the most important year of my life. From that day, everything changed for me. I deactivated my Instagram account (which was my only and major distraction), completely cut myself off from the outside world, and literally stopped talking to my friends. I didn't leave my house at all! I was studying 24/7. My mother used to feed me breakfast, lunch, and dinner while I studied. Six months went by like this, and by October, I was scoring the highest in my coaching. This just fed my ego. My parents told me to register for MHCET, VITEEE, and other entrance examinations, but I brushed them off, saying, "These are too easy for me. I won't give an exam with a lower difficulty than JEE." By the end of November, I was completely burnt out. COMPLETELY! I couldn't even get myself to look at the pile of books in my room. I was repelled by them. It was the weirdest feeling ever. I used to study for 16+ hours a day, and then I couldn't even sit to study for 20 minutes.
The first attempt was less than 40 days away. Before I knew it, time flew by, and it was the night before my first attempt. I knew deep down that I was going to mess it up. I tried to revise whatever I could—short notes, books, test analyses all lying around me while I looked like a pale corpse. What was I even thinking? There was no way I could revise more than 90 chapters in just a few hours. I gave up at 3 a.m. and cried myself to sleep. My shift was in the evening. After my exam, I told my mother I messed up in math and not to ask anything about it until the results came out. I was exhausted—not for just a day or week, but for months. Fast-forwarding a month later, the results came out. As expected, they were absolutely garbage. 80.5 percentile... hmm. I felt my throat going dry, my mother saying, "You should've worked harder." I was miserable, but there was no time to contemplate. The HSC board exam was less than a month away. I had no will to study at all but fought through it somehow. Looking back now, I feel that preparing for boards right after JEE was much more difficult than JEE itself. A month of sleepless nights went by, and the days of the board exams arrived. The papers themselves were easier than what I had expected—or so I thought. I came home every day after the paper saying, "I'll definitely get above 90 in this."
I had registered for JEE's second attempt as well, but even the thought of giving JEE again scared me. It has been three months after the boards now, and I'm at the lowest point of my life. I have no friends at all since I cut them off completely. I rot in my room each day. These three months have been hell. I'm incredibly lonely. To make matters worse, the HSC board scorecard dropped today, and I got 74.8%. Absolutely embarrassing. For months, actually a year, I made an impression of myself as being smart, intelligent, and studious. I'm ashamed to show my face to my family members. I can't show my face to my friends. I'm a failure. I can't take BITSAT and many other exams since they have a 75% criterion. I didn't register for CET, thinking it would be "too easy" for me. Even my father, who was okay with me scoring less in JEE, is really mad at me. He refrained me from taking a drop year. Even if I took a drop year, what would I do? All my dreams and ambitions of going to a good college are slowly fading away. I totally deserve this for being unrealistic and cocky. I hope karma takes pity on me.

I today got my boards results and I scored really really less marks. Overall percentage is only 65% and 43, 51 and 55 in physics chemistry maths. I expected these scores as the time during the boards were not really good for me and I almost had no studies during the second term of my school, due to health related issues.
My mid term grades and also all my high school grades were spectacular and always above 90. But the second term of my 12th grade was really really horrible and these marks are no surprise to me nor my family.
But I know that whatever the reason be the score is horrible and will put me in chance to get my acceptance rescinded. I have already paid my enrollment deposit at this college, the college is not very selective and also not at all in league of top 20 or 50, but still a good school.
I do not want my acceptance to get rescinded as it is still the best option for me. I wanted to know are there any next steps that I should take from my side to avoid this from happening.
Should I write an email to admissions office explaining my situation and ask them directly that will they rescind me or not? OR Should I wait till my counselor sends them the marksheet, (that will be after 15 days) and wait and see that they will send me a warning letter or not?
If my acceptance gets rescinded at this one, I think I should know it quickly so I could enroll deposit in any other public college that will not rescind my acceptance.
I am really confused here please guide me. Any help would be appreciated.

i have always been a numbers guy. math came quick to me, specifically arithmetic. In 2nd grade when we did those pages full of addition or subtraction they had to give me two pages because I’d finish a paper (albeit one or two mistakes out of 50ish problems) and just be sitting there. Then in 4th grade I had 2 multiplication or division papers as well. I didn’t enjoy the theory based math nearly as much, so I didn’t pursue past Calculus II. I liked it because it was still math, but I couldn’t see it being useful to continue into, at least for me.
Now I am in my 4/4 year of college and I should be graduating with my Undergrad this year. I have figured Accounting was it after a grueling two years of economics/finance, again not into theory. Since then, accounting has just become natural to me, i like debits/credits, i understand depreciation, i actually enjoy doing taxes whether it be individual, business, or even not for profit, i feel like I am finding that i genuinely enjoy accounting topics that i am being introduced to.
To be more clear, I had a tax internship this past tax season, first time i had dipped my toes in the actual career field. I enjoyed every second of it. I was working at my other job 30+ hours a week and did 15 hours of taxes every week, I can actually say, I can picture myself doing taxes for 10hrs a day or 55+ hours a week.
For context, internship offered me full time starting april 16th right after my internship. Mcol on West coast and making 55k while i still have 1 year left in college.
Am I going to hit a roadblock at some point? Or has this reigned true for others during the start of their careers? Is this maybe foreshadowing an enjoyment filled career? Or will I eventually crash and fall, maybe when my CPA desires start to approach. I just feel like I do not resonate with a lot of people on this subreddit and i want to know if it’s a me problem. Ty for your input

Hi, I've been in England for only about 2 years. I'm currently doing my GCSEs and have to pick between a levels or t levels. I have applied for both and got both. For A levels I'm choosing Maths, Physics and Criminology. My last gcse mock grades are as follows: Maths:5 Science:77 English:8
And for T levels l'm picking an engineering course. My father has done a bit of research on T levels and is saying most universities do not accept this, but we don't have a clear view of flying schools on what they think of T levels. And l've also heard maths and physics a levels together would be the end of me but t levels would be comparatively easier. I want to pick T levels since I know I'm not going to enjoy A levels, but I don't want that stopping me from being a pilot, so will pick a levels if I have to. Any advice??

The premise was which GM job would you not want. This was before the draft and FA. Some highlights and how they look inhindsight:
1st Charlotte: They had a great cap sheet, Lamelo, the 2nd pick, and all their picks moving forward. I’d give this one a C
2) Bulls: nailed it.
3) Minnesota: “You’re going to be surprised who I take here… Minnesota.. Gobert is going to be making 41, 44, 47 million next three years” “KAT who I’m not a huge fan of 36, then 50, 54, 58, player option for 62 million” “You factor in those two guys + the draft picks they moved out… I don’t know if they will be able to reinvent the roster in a way that helps the roster when they have to figure out who they’re going to be.” - F in hindsight. Hilarious listening to this 12 months later but was probably somewhat justifiable at the time
4) Clippers: Great value at 4. Probably go higher in a re-draft
5) Wizards: Another great value pick. No clue how Minnesota or Charlotte go before Wiz
6) Houston: “There’s some talent on the roster but they don’t have a no doubt keeper guy on the roster” With Sengun breaking out the math has changed. Another probably justifiable at the time but looks bad in hindsight pick
7) Dallas: “If Kyrie goes to Dallas then Dallas.” They said Luka is a top 5 guy so they’re only 7th with the caveat that they trade for Kyrie- So funny discovering this podcast and listening to it a year later knowing what we know now😂
8) Brooklyn: Solid pick
Takeaway: Crazy how much can change in a year in the NBA. Philly, Memphis, NOP were all talked about as possibilities for the final two picks. While there’s teams who were considered contenders before the season started that I would take top 3 right now in a re-draft cough SUNS cough

The smell of money... Tea, incense, and sweet foods... All of this to be found in FuMuCha. A tea shop in San Francisco Chinatown, FuMuCha was a safe place where immigrants and their descendants could coexist in peace. The Lees, a Korean immigrant family, moved in many years ago with their toddler son. Their son, Vincent Lee, was easily impressionable and very outgoing. He easily made friends because he was taught to help and be helped to survive. "Money isn't everything, but take the opportunity to live", his parents told him. His parents were smart, they befriended and learned Chinese culture to make life easier to start. Time passes, preschool, ESOL, elementary, then... Middle school.
A loud thud. Blood on the ground. The silence of fear... And trembling...
"Go back to your country!" "You're not welcome here!" "Look at this loser trying to be normal."
Vincent is on the ground, bloodied nose, bruised face, cracked ribs... "I'm... Sorry...". He regretted living. He had no purpose. Living day to day just like the other kids... Until they were taught world history. No matter what he did, the kids bullied him for being the same ethnicity of those who did terrible things or were under the foot of another. Nanking, The railroad, comfort women, the boxer's rebellion, the cultural revolution... He was blamed for all of that just for being born. Isolation, growing his hair out because he refused to go out. This torment lasted until 8th grade.
Vincent walked home from school... The last day of 7th grade, he heard something... "Hiya! Ha!". He turned to look. A man on the television, a weird hairstyle, funny clothes, but... Amazing fighting skills. Vincent immediately wanted to fight like him. He found someone... Someone who could save him from his hell. He used the last of his savings to buy all of the kung fu dvds he could. He spent all summer on his own watching, learning, training... To be like the men... No, the heroes, that saved his life. He found purpose. Being someone else was so... Different. But he needed to be. When he confronted those bullied him, they couldn't win... Vincent was like a bat out of hell. Sloppy techniques, but fast, dedicated... Eventually, with each opponent he defeated, he got a bit better each time... Less bruises, less bloody noses, but... More heart. Too much. His parents decided that America may not be safest... After all, Vincent attracted the attention of the underworld Chinese Mafia. They were going to induct him once he got into highschool because of his knack for violence... So they moved.
"Korea? Why? Why're we moving? I'm getting better, Ma! I'm strong now!" Vincent didn't understand... Not until his mom held him close and said, "that's right, you're very strong. You're my strong baby boy... But ma and pa are not like you... Make sure you protect us too, okay? Protect your family in Korea."
Vincent understood that his new hope wasn't meant for just him... Fighting? Is that all there is to power? No... There's gotta something out there that will teach him what it is to be strong... Something like four schools...

guys I have a question lets say in International A Levels for math AS, if someone got a 55 UMS in P1, and a 60 UMS in P2, and a 0 UMS in s1. He cashed in and he got a U so his total AS UMS grade is 0. If he was to repeat s1 in another session, and get got an 80 for example. Can he cash in and use the p1 and p2 grades from the session he got a U in or does he have to repeat p1 and p2 again?

Hi, I'm in the 13th Grade answering my final exams before university next year. I've taken IT (not Computer Science) and Math as my subjects. I've researched about cybersecurity and have knowledge in C and C++. I need help in knowing which other programming language courses I should take which are recognized and can fit within my school and daily life balance. IT is also teaching me Javascript in school. When should I begin preparation for the CompTIA certifications (all 3). How do I go about attaining knowledge about homelabs and making a project portfolio?
I'd really appreciate your help, thanks 😃
Also am I way too optimistic?

So I was around seven when this happened and I was over at my dads. Mind you, im 13 now, and know the full meaning of the word. A little bit of a background check, just so you get the jist! My mom and my dad divorced in 2016, so my dad moved in with my grandmother. He eventually found he liked his crushed since 7th grade, my step-mom. Let's call her...step-mom. I also have some step-sibling. My brother, and older sister. We'll call them brother and older sister. One time we went camping. At this time my older sister had maybe just turned 8 and I was still 7. Brother was around 5 maybe. I was sitting in a dicks sporting goods chair, this will come in handy later, so remember it, and I was looking out at the pond that was near our camping site. I saw the dicks sporting goods logo, turned around, and told brother "Oh brother, your a dick." Je started rolling on the ground with laughter, or tears. It would be bad if he was crying cause he knew what it meant, but it would be even worse if he was laughing and knew what it meant. My dad came over, picked me up, and started carrying me over to the tent saying that I shouldn't have said that. Step-mom shot me a mean glare and said, very baitum, "You really shouldn't have said that." I pleaded and cried saying I didn't know what it meant. And I didn't. I was 7. "Yeah, sure you don't. Your a guy and you don't know what that means? Pft..." and then kept looking at me with this wildly mean face. My dad put me in the tent and left me there for a minute.
A few minutes later.
My dad came over and asked "Do you really not know what that word means?" I kept on shaking my head, trying to prove I didn't. AND I DIDNT! I AM WAS 7! My dad told me what dick meant, and I immediately ran from the tent without my dads permission, darted passed him whilst he yelling at me to get back there, and I hug my brother and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know what it meant." He said I was okay. I walked back to my dad and step-mom talking. Step-mom said I should be put in the tent for the rest of the day, and that I was lying when I said I didn't know. I butted in and said "Uh, know I do. So thusfore your argument is invalid." I quote for quote said that. My dad looks down in astonishment and asks me how old I was. I told him I was 7. He says to step-mom, "I don't think he needs to spend anymore time there." I apologized to step-mom for being a jerk to her, but she huffed...puffed...then stomped away. So what, am I the jerk, for being 7 and not knowing what a word was?

The first time I made a real close friendship was in middle 7th grade they were 2 best friends we were talking all day and night even studying together but suddenly after we finished 8th grade they started ignoring me maybe because of my anger issues and rudeness when I was talking about the abuse in my house they thought I'm way too crazy so they dumped me now I'm now in first year of since 9th grade I haven't find any friends in school or online idk why but whenever I talk to someone they're really weird or narcissistic psychopaths I live in a third world corrupted country and I think it's normal for society in this type of countries to be ignorant and immoral but it's crippling I really don't know what to do I reached my peak since the last 2 months I can't get no more than 5 hours of sleep I smoke a lot of cigarettes and some days I don't even sleep at all, I tried to make my brain just forget about all the suffering and problems but YouTube and movies are always talking about brain rotting politics or violence and crime, I always seek socializing but no one likes me and it's too late already it ate up all of my brain I was a smart and fast thinker in middle school I learned English with my friends in middle school in 2 years to the point where we can listen to English songs and understand the lyrics without translation or turning the subtitles on but since they left me I can't learn anything I can't study I can't work I can't sleep it's my fault that I just tried to look for people like them I should have looked for people who are more like me but it's too late and I have just realized lately. 2 full months of insomnia and I really can't figure out who am I or what do I want or what are my interests even if right now if someone just texted me and told I'm like you or I just had a perfect friend I don't know what to say to them it's like I'm socially and mentally dead from the dry and cruel life I'm suffering from insomnia and my family doesn't care they speak loudly, shout and slam doors when I try to catch some sleep (btw I'm so sorry if I can't write correctly I can't focus at all) now the real point is that I'm asking you what is this feeling is my brain damaged or am I just dead does it have a name is it a mental disorder or is it what 5 years of no talking with people do to you when you're still growing up

When answering questions regarding motion, if y''>0, does that mean acceleration is always positive? or is there supposed to be another way to determine this?

i want to take the math test soon, but i’ve always struggled with math. i’m at abt an 8th grade level and struggle with basic algebra :(
does anybody have tips, or can lmk what the math test looked like for them? i’m using saltandlightlearning, getsummath, and essential ed. i’m so nervous to take this test, i’ve been trying to study everyday for it. this is also my last test and the most intimidating for me

So, i am a practically recent student started on spring 2024. I have done these 3 courses, ISYE6501 on micromaster , and CSE6040,MGT8803 on spring, got an A on all and want to share my opinion on them.
Also i am right now taking Simulation and MGT6203 any tips for them?
ISYE6501: My first class and my favourite from these 3, The professor was amazing and the class was the right one for introduction. The concepts are too general and i really love the ideas and the thinking behind the teaching methods, not focusing on the theory but on the practical use of the concepts learned. The homeworks and peer grading is strange, you will more likely get 90% with barely some work but it's comepletly hard to get an 100% you need a very good presentation not really matters what work you done , it's all about prospective of other students. The exames where tricky and some questions very strange stated, like they wanted you to get tricked. Midterm 1 was the hardest one while the next became easier each time. I would suggest to start studying early, and DON'T focus on the proofs and math types but try to understand how to use each model and what happens if you change a variable or what's the purpose of it? Also quizlet flashcards were a very big help. ( also the R part on homeworks was easy not really need to learn something complex)
MGT8803: Really don't like the many subjects in one class format, neither the every 3 weeks test . But to tell you the truth, everyone said too much to learn and such a memory class, i have a bad memory and got a 97% overall with average studying. Finance and accounting are the hard stuff, Finance was pretty hard to learn and put a lot of effort, accounting was the first class and was too much to learn in short period of time. But the exams are fairly easy, and the rest of the classes are like 4-5 hours studying per week and you are good to go. Watch the TA and professor recordings and you will be ready for most midterms and actually have a good idea of what's going to happen. Also Bob Mayers on supply chain is my favourite teacher till now , absolutely love this guy the live sessions with him were amazing. Overall easy class , with 2 hard subjects, study early for accounting and finance and use excel and learn how to solve every exercise from the self assesments and you will have at least a 80%.
CSE6040: Professor was good and when he did the classes actually had much fun watching them but the rest classes were blunt and not very informing about what we have to learn. This class was hard, you need to learn to be good on python , actually good not just copy paste master and you need to learn how to have a programming thinking. The midterm 1 was with average 10 so that's tell you enouth , second midterm they screwed up with the long memory and lagging issues and they put 100% SQL problems so that didn't go well but they did a generally curve. The last midterm was a little rough but for someone with no background python knowledge , i scored a 100% overall so that means if you study enough you can too. But be careful, this class need time commitment. The TAs were amazing and very helpful, the best on all classes till now. Also they had these bootcamp sessions every week that they teached and show step to step every coding needed to succed so you have no excuse that you didn't know how to solve something, also they hint many times what's important for the upcoming midterm on these sessions , so unless you are a pro programmer WATCH THEM,and also solve all the past midterms and homeworkds available and you will be on the go for an easy A.

My first best friend, who I'll call Melissa, and I met in kindergarten and were both 5 at the time. We both looked and smiled at each other. That was the day we became friends and it was the most happiest day of my childhood. I sat next to her and we were hanging out with each other every day.
We would do so many things at school with each other. We would sit on the carpet to play with the items the teacher put out for the class each morning. We would always do fun activities in the gym. We would sit at lunch, laugh about funny things we told each other, and hang out at recess every day. My favorite moment was when we were on the swings to see who would go the highest and just look at each other and smile. We did go to other parts of the playground but the swings was our favorite.
When we weren't in a classroom together with our teachers due to them having a different assigned classroom, we would still hang out in lunch and in recess because they released everyone at a certain time by grade level. For example, if we were in 1st grade and students were in a different classroom, the 1st graders would all be released at the same time while the other students in different grades remained in the same classroom. So even if Melissa and I were in different classrooms, we would always meet up and have a great time.
In 3rd grade, I found this girl who I'll call Leah. Leah and I would do pretty fun things together since we were in the same classroom and were hanging out with each other, but I'd still go and hang out with Melissa sometimes. I introduced Melissa to Leah and we basically became a friend group, or at least I thought it was a friend group.
During this time I was constantly having to pick sides with some of our things we were making up as kids. First, it was who I was to sit with at lunch. (Sometimes I wasn't lucky enough to sit with either of them because of a rule where we had to sit in a boy-girl pattern to apparently make everyone quieter during lunch time.) Then it was with some group or clan we made up during recess, Melissa was in "unicorn squad" and Leah was in "girl squad" (I made up the name of girl squad.) I would try to bring them both together but Melissa's friends and Leah's friends didn't get along too well. I had no other best friends besides the both of them and it kinda broke my heart to see them not get along as well as I was with them. Then on a very traumatic day in fourth grade that I still regret for the rest of my life, Melissa and Leah both came up to me and said "You have to pick one best friend." I said I wanted them both to be my best friends but Leah kept pushing that I only pick one. Then we made up a stupid contest to see who would win (my idea) and I was a little tired of it and made Leah win. I have never seen such a sad look on Melissa's face when we were about to leave for home. I ran after her and apologized, I tried to comfort her and I think it worked since we stopped the argument.
Later on in the year of 4th grade, Melissa and Leah had some new friends they were hanging out with. I was fine with it at first, but seeing as their friends were experiencing many joyful moments with my best friends without me, I grew hatred towards their friends. I became jealous of what they were doing. I tried everything as a 9 year old girl could possibly do to keep the relationship going between me and my best friends. I still sat with both of them at lunch and joined them in recess. When they were busy hanging out with their friends, I was left alone, wandering around the playground, doing the things my best friends and I used to do but alone this time. It became depressing just thinking about memories of me and my friends playing together in the past and having fun. Now I had to have fun but alone as I watch my best friends have fun with theirs instead of me. I became even more depressed and angry seeing other random friendships because they were having fun and not me. I felt so alone, hurt, betrayed, so much emotion. This grew into more extreme hate towards the friends of my best friends.
In 5th grade, I did everything I could to have fun with them, but for some reason, something felt off. We hung out less. We didn't sit at lunch every day. Then I found out something shocking. Leah was hanging out with other girls who would give her lunch money, (I gave her lunch money for quite a long time now so we would get snacks with my money I gave her) and was making videos with these girls. I then hated the girls because apparently in my mind, they were controlling and possessing my friend. They stole her away from me. Leah and I still hung out and I considered her my friend because I didn't understand the concept of being used for money. Leah would always invite me to make videos but I wasn't comfortable. I realized how much of a fake friend she was but I still gave her a chance to change but never happened. I went to hang out with Melissa more after this but this felt a bit off too. She was hanging out with this one girl a lot. She seems pretty happy to be with her instead of me more. Melissa was into anime and I wasn't, so that drifted us apart but I didn't see it. I wasn't really into any of my best friend's interests because I was still depressed and full of rage against these girls. I grew to hate everyone and everything and I only wanted to be with Melissa.
It was near the end of the year when I went to go with Melissa in the playground where we always used to go, the swings. She constantly kept moving away, switching swings of just walking away from me. This hurt a lot coming from a close friend like her. I went to hang out with Leah because I still had no friends besides the two of them. Leah as well, left me behind and I was there alone again. All this just fueled my anger against everything. I hated other people, I hated activities, I hated everything, including myself. I thought this was weird since I didn't express my hate that badly towards these other girls, although I did want them to through horrible and horrendous things because in my mind, they were stealing my friends. They took away the people who made me happy. I was getting worse from my mental health because I wanted nothing but my happiness and my best friends back. I had a few thoughts of kidnapping my best friends so they could be with me forever. I would be happy and experience all the happy moments we would share together again. It was pointless anyway because I was just a 10 year old and couldn't do anything.
During these final months before everyone was all homeschooled for a year, I noticed whenever I tried to be with Melissa, she moved away from me again. I tried many times to catch up with her but she continued moving away. I thought absolutely nothing of it because of a funny joke by the teachers saying we hung out too much and we should be separated. I found it funny because at the time, our friendship was strong and I thought nothing would ever separate us from having fun. So I just thought about it as if she was playing around with that joke. I gave up catching up after Melissa because I was tired and I thought she was playing the joke on me. It turns out, I overheard something she said and she said I was too clingy. I didn't know what it meant and I thought she said a funny word and thought nothing of it. Later on she asked me for a break. I said that it was fine and I thought she meant a break for one day (I thought breaks were meant to be short at the time) and we left each other alone.
It came a few days later where she said she didn't want to be my friend anymore. I then went to hang out with Leah, who I didn't hang out with for a long while, said she also didn't want to be friends with me anymore. I was broken by their words but I just thought it was all a joke to me, because I thought it was dumb to unfriend someone for hanging out with them every day.
Fast forward to 6th grade where we were homeschooled for a year, I was full of hope that I was going to be friends with Melissa again after a long time. Then came 7th grade where I was 12 and I continued to sit with her at lunch again, but this time I felt nothing. There were no fun conversations like we usually had back in elementary. I just felt like I wasn't meant to be there. I still felt the same loneliness, rage, and sadness back like I was in 5th grade. That's when I finally realized I was no longer her friend, and I had so much hate in myself for taking a year to realize I had been blind to all of this. I never felt so much sadness like that in my life. The two friends I had left me, I was really depressed by this reason, and now I constantly question myself wondering what I did wrong. I still grovel over them both. It's been a few years now. Did I do something wrong?

I'm going to start my A levels in September (my exam board is cambridge) and I'm confused about my subject choices. Initially, I was planning to go with math,cs, and either chem or physics for my third choice. However, I'm not really good at physics and I doubt I can score a good grade. I wanted to take chem but it doesn't have any relation with the field I want to pursue (any cs related field) and I don't like the memoration part of it. I am interested in learning economics, and might want to pursue an economics related field in the future but I didn't take econ at o level. How challenging would it be if I did take it in A levels? How memory intensive is the subject and is it worth taking with math and cs? I heard it is an essay based subject and I have good essay writing skills. Thanks in advance
