7th grade pemdas worksheets

It’s about a girl or guy (don’t really remember their gender). They get sent to a school and they can’t leave. And they have one class, paint ball that they really focus on throughout the story. But there’s also higher ups that send the kids in set school messages through videos on what’s the plans or other general messages. There’s also gangs inside of the school. And they have some weird points system. Also detention means you die. There’s also two books in the series when I read it. That’s all if you have any info I would appreciate it🙏

I 26F is the youngest of 3. My Brother 33 and my sister 27. Please pardon my grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes my mind is every where .My mom is quite a handful she became pregnant with my brother at the age of 15 which led to her dropping out of school and it didn’t help that my grandmother made her watch her nephew ( he’s a year older than my brother ) and my brother at the same time stating “ you know how his mom is always in the streets ?” So my cousin has always had a soft spot for my mom… fast forward 7 years later my mom is 23/24 and now has three kids and no she wasn’t with either of our fathers. So I’m not sure I’m the exact timeline but she met this guy named AL . AL was wrong for all of the wrong reasons. I still remember I would hear the yelling and breaking of pictures and vases many traumatic things took place during that relationship including me being sexually assaulted many of times … They ended things and she met my former stepfather she was 10 yrs his senior. So while she’s in her 30’s with 3 kids he’s in his 20’s with only one. But he was amazing to us. People often thought he was my biological father because with both have indigenous features. As time went on though I noticed we never had a stable home we moved almost every year. During the summer before 5th grade we moved to another state and literally within that one year we lived in 3 different apartments. The summer before I got to middle they got into a huge fight which led to them getting a divorce. We ended moving back to our hometown with my grandma and her husband which was no better but at least there was a home cooked meal every night and hot bath and bed… all throughout middle I just couldn’t adjust I was always getting picked on. My 7th grade year my mom told us we would be moving back in with AL (at this point she didn’t know what had happened because I didn’t tell her ) so moving back in with my abuser I was even more afraid to speak up … but I didn’t wanna leave my grandma but her husband was even weirder. So now I’m in the end of 7th grade going into the 8th grade and her and AL finally call it quits … he didn’t try anything then but I didn’t let him either anytime he walked in a room I left it. 8 grade year I transferred to a new school because we had to move AGAIN. I was so angry by that point because I knew at this new school these kids already had their groups because they were all from the same neighborhoods so yeah but it wasn’t as bad there where moments were girls tried me but it didn’t get far… but I started to Rebel and then I just snapped … I was at home when my dad came over ( now a back story on my dad is he’s 10 years older than my mom and has so many kids it’s not even funny oh did I mention he’s a deacon and a Mason … ironic ain’t it…. But he’s been happily married to my amazing breast cancer surviving step mom for 24 and they have 2 kids together my youngest sister and brother who has down syndrome ) but yes my dad called me from my room and he and my mom started fussing at me together and I just shut down and said “ he took my child hood from me “ my dad then said “ who did “ and I responded “ AL “ my dad looked me in my eyes and said “ stop lying “ I was in such shock and defeat I just put my head down … it wasn’t until my sister chimed in and said “ she’s not lying I saw him do it “ that’s when my dad tried to hug me I pushed him away and ran out of the house I could still hear my mom crying ( now that I’m grown and a mom of 2 I call bs to her emotions ) I was placed into counseling but it was basically for no reason the damage was done I hater people from then on … the icing on the cake for me was when I found out years later that my mom actually when to AL’s house because my mom is apart of a friend ground that watches wrestling and so they all go to different places to watch the PayPerView … she was upset that AL’s woman was there and tried to fight her … but now that I’m a mom I just can’t fathom choosing my childs abuser over my child…I know it’s a lot to read and unpack and I will answer any and all questions to the best of my abilities so Reddit AITAH????

tw suicide
when I was in middle school I was head over heels in love with a guy. we dated from 7th grade to 11th our relationship ended when he unfortunately fell victim to suicide and it fucked me up really badly. i blamed myself and I still do. it still feels like yesterday when it happened. as soon as I graduated high school I became a shut in. I am 19 now and only leave my house when I absolutely need to.
I have been so lonely every day since he passed, even when my best friend comes over. nothing has ever been able to fill the hole in my heart. I want to date someone so bad but I would feel so guilty for being able to move on. I never meet anyone new so I wouldn’t be able to date anyone anyways. talking to people I don’t know stresses me out big time.

Alright I’m in eighth grade and this is my second year playing goalie, our school coach is the varsity coach (and we practice with the seventh graders but don’t play with them, just for later on in this rant) and I’ve been offered positions on teams which has made my confidence go up and caused me to perform better, our first three games I had about 85% save percentage
Then our past two games I’ve done bad, our one school game I let in about 15 goals and came out with a sprained knee and ankle, my team all supported me and were great about it, but then this weekend we had a team for town (its 7th and 8th combined) and I came in the last half of a game when we were up by three, I got hit in the crotch twice and it ricocheted into the goal both times, then I spotted the girl that shot both times laughing about me getting hit, this made me feel like a wimp and I ended up letting in two more goals and we lost the game. Every eighth grader supported me and said it was ok, but the seventh graders were LIVID “how the hell do you let in four they barley had the ball?” “shes such a wimp it doesn’t even hurt to get hit much” (i had no pads on there too because my coach rushed me lol) i don’t even know what else they said but now all of them hate me and ignore me when I try to talk to them (except for like three of then who I’m friends with outside of sports), during our school practice when we scrimmage I only let in two goals but each goal they all gave each other looks and started laughing “pro goalie” My confidence has taken such a tumble since then and I always get nervous just picking up the stick now, I feel pressured to make every single save and that if I even let in one I’m a horrible player. Then this one seventh grader made me feel worse because when I asked her about it she said “well they’re mad at you for other things you did during the game too other than being a bad goalie” (SHE LITERALLY SAID THE BAD GOALIE PART) I got a game tomorrow and I’m trying not to let them affect me but my coach would just tell me to deal with it myself but I’m not trying to lecture them or anything lmao Other than the fact that seventh grade girls are usually still pre puebes and they don’t know that what they’re saying is ruining my love for the sport, I don’t know anything else so what should I do?

I (15F) and my dad(47M) have not been on good terms for a while. Lots of background info, in the summer of 2023 I unfortunately got acne. I wasn’t thrilled about it and panicked myself, but my family seemed to care a lot. At first it was taking me to get creams to get rid of my acne. Unfortunately it did not work and my acne got worse my the end of the summer. I was frustrated about the way I looked so I decided to put makeup on for the first time, my dad wasn’t too pleased. Before I had even touched makeup my skin was already in bad condition, but my dad had decided that the makeup was the reason for my acne. I sometimes actually thought it was the cause until I came to my senses and knew my acne was not caused by makeup. Nonetheless I got some non-comedogenic makeup to insure it wasn’t the cause. He still didn’t buy it. He of all people had constantly compared me to others growing up for countless things excluding my face, but once my acne came he began calling me ugly indirectly. He would say, “If your acne gets worse you’ll be ugly”. He would proceed to show me beautiful girls with some acne scars and told me I would look like them if I didn’t do anything. It hurt as through the months of September of 2023- January of 2024 my skin started peeling in dry patches. It was not any help in the way my skin was getting. I gained much more acne from the creams that were helping to fix my dry skin. I decided to get more into korean skin care which eventually fixed some issues. The issue was during this time my dad had come up with his own ideas to solve my skin, free ideas. My dad is a religious person who searches things up on the internet to find a random dude on the screen with a bad mic talking about god. You would think for an immigrant who grew up in Canada for 20 years, he would know fact from fiction. Nope, he believed each one of these videos at face value, if some guy said to buy a painting of a horse worth $700 and place it in your house he would do just that, which he did. The original painting was $100 dollars on amazon. Anyways his great idea was first praying to god, god would help fix all of problems is what he would say. I am not a extremely religious person but I decided to give it a try. It did no difference to my skin. The next solution of his was to pray to the sun everyday, did not help. Then was exercising at 5 am in the morning everyday which I refused as I still had to go to school and do homework after. Then was a facial, which this facial was painful and I walked out super red. The lady told my mom that “Neem Cream” would fix my face so that day my dad bought it from amazon. When I smelled it, I could tell it was straight up chemicals. I did not put it on as I could imagine what would happen next. Another thing my dad thought was smart was making his on concoction. This consisted of turmeric, nivea body lotion, neem and his never washed hands. I would refuse as I knew it was not going to do anything but stain my face. But he would yell and call me ugly when I cried and refused. This face mask would not stay on for 10 minutes, but he would make me keep it on for 5 HOURS. If that was not outrageous enough I had to switch bedrooms. He believed my old bedroom was giving me “karma” and ruining my skin. I was forced to switch in to a room with many windows and next to a prayer in which he blasts music and keeps the lights on. The most obscure thing was when he told me my Scaramouche, Rantaro Amami, and Kokichi Oma paintings were “sucking out my beauty”. HE WAS GOING MENTAL. It infuriated me as those paintings took time and I wanted to display them in my own room. Once I had switched rooms my desk was in a different position than before. It was now in front of my bed and I had always had many acrylic figures of my favourite characters including a Tamaki nendoroid. On May 5th, a day after my moms bday, I was sleeping until I was somewhat awaken by the sound of someone in my room walking back and forth. I am fully awake listening to the sound of my dad saying he should throw all my anime stuff in the garbage. He has been telling me for sometime that anime has been causing my acne and to remove it, I refused as its my room and they hold value more than just characters. Once he moved each thing from my desk and tosing it to the side of my vanity he tried getting into my phone. Thankfully the IPhone is not dumb with face id and knows when someone else is trying to get in. I woke up and started sobbing telling him what the heck did he do to my room and he starts laughing in my face. I yell at him many times about how he doesn’t understand and its my room but he tells me to shut up as I will be proven wrong once my acne clears up. He brought up many things in the argument including how I will be ugly and won’t achieve anything in life if I don’t listen to him. He ends up hitting me, my mom is sitting next to me through this taking my side, and he ends up almost hitting her too. My grandma is taking her sons side as I should listen to him and throw everything out. I ended up taking public transit to school the next morning since it was my punishment, it was actually fun and much less boring than his car rides with complaints. We end up talking today and he mentions how I have to say sorry to him as it is my fault not his, he was “looking out for me”. He later tells me that while I am growing up with him that he will make the choices for me and once I’m an adult and married with the man he choses, that guy will make the choices. I find this insane and disgusting I feel stuck and it tired of being called ugly. I am insecure as is, my dad controls many things in my life. Many rules he has is ; Can’t talk to boys, can’t hang out with friends without permission, can’t go to friends houses, can’t call my friends all the time, use my free time to play violin or study, no talking back, going straight to his car after school, can’t miss school, get in trouble is you get an 80 or below(I live in Canada so 80 for me is an A-), no revealing clothing, listen to a word he says without complaints, don’t complain about him(although he complains about us ALL THE TIME). My life, my sister's life and my moms life is all being controlled by my dad. I am giving up at this point, I tried killing myself back in the fifth grade because I got a C in my report card and in the 7th grade cuz he beat me up because I didn’t eat pizza. I tried doing the same thing after the argument that day. Am I in the wrong, should I apologize to him?

So no judgement but im in 7th grade so im M(13) and i had got a nic stick at school today from one of my friends and my best friend also M(13) had decided to beg to tap it right before we left for the day so i let him and the teacher saw and took it from me and reported it and i had blew up on my best friend so in the report he put that it most likely wasnt mine and was my best friend’s and my friend got alternative school and blew up on me and blocked me and i wanna relapse so bad rnn pls give advice in the comments

I get an email on Monday when I get to school saying that I'll have a formal observation the following week. But I have my pre-interview in 2 days where I need to have my lesson plan designed. The formal observation happens to be the day before the state exam for civics for my 7th grade class. It's the last few weeks of school, they had weeks to plan this, and I'm not teaching any new material. At least for this class. All of this seems ridiculous And I'm barely hanging on a first year teacher in a broken school system

I think it was When Tiffany Amber Theason (Kelly Kapowski from Saved By the Bell) showed up on Beverly Hills 90210, and smokes a J. In Brenda’s old room. Everyone was talking about that the next day! Blew our 7th grade minds!

I have my first AP exam on the 7th of this month for Psychology. I was supposed to have 2 accommodations, for being able to type FRQs and small group testing (so I could use the device to type, otherwise I don't need small group) About 2 months ago some administrators at my school and my psych teacher met to update my 504 so that they could apply for my College Board accommodations on my behalf.
Well guess what? Today I got called down to confirm which accommodations I wanted to use. But my only option is small group, with zero mention of typing the FRQs. The administrator said that no one had applied for it despite all the effort we had put into making sure they did.
So my shithole of a school applied for the accommodation (small group) that I only need if I get to type my FRQs, and somehow managed to forget to apply for the correct/primary accommodation? So if i were to take the exam thursday I would have an accommodation that is beyond useless. I focus worse when testing on my own, but if the trade off for not getting the gymnasium testing experience is being able to actually turn in a FRQ in time, and with zero hand pain, and will be scored on my knowledge, and not graded on my legibility (because if it was about readability i would have a zero), I will take it.
I was informed that there is no guarantee that I will get the correct accomadation in time for the makeup on the 22nd since they just put the application for that TODAY. If this actually affects my test (getting the approval too late) I am going to... probably cry.

Ok so the background story is I was SA’d by my stepdad for 6+ years and my mother sided with him in court and I believe she knew about it. My dad has always been abusive and for most my childhood he was physically abusive. When I was 7 yrs old my dad moved his girlfriend in. Right before my 11th birthday she moved out and I have always called her my stepmom. Right after my 11th birthday me and my older sister moved into our “stepmoms” house and she got custody. I have a lot of mental illnesses and they hit me hard after I moved in with her. In 2019 I was placed in a mental hospital for my problems. I was doing better but I had huge upside downs a well. On August 17th 2021 my stepmom left me at my dad’s house until October 28th 2021 and I forgave her for that. Our relationship was rocky because I didn’t trust her. She is a narcissist and mentally/abusive person so she always claims that she’s the victim. On April 23rd 2022 she said I was gonna go to my dads for a week for his birthday and she hasn’t came back to get me. In February I turned 18 and throughout the past 2+ years she says she doesn’t understand why I hate her and I should forgive, love, and respect her because she “saved” me from my father when I was little. I am very close with my mom despite what happened with my stepdad. I used to go to her house and she’d say I looked a bit malnourished and she always bought me food, snack, clothes. In 7th grade I asked my stepmom for new shoes because mine were too small and she never got them. So my mom gave me some. My mom listens to what I have to say and my stepmom says I “praise” my mother. But she has always been there unlike my stepmom. Stepmom always says I am the problem but she loves and misses me. She controlled where I was but she abandoned me. She says I need to get over the fact she left me here because it was my fault. But the reasons she says I’m here is because I didn’t listen even tho I did everything I was asked and I was treated like a slave. She also says I’m here because I started drama. The “drama” I started was tell my stepbrother that her boyfriend was saying really horrible things about my dad and his. I refuse to get over and forgive her for what she did so AITAH???

I am turning 19 in a couple weeks so I'm not all that much older and in the terms of things I'm still considered quite young. But it doesn't change all the things I've dealt with over the years because of my mom. My father was abusive when I was a young kid. He would scream at us, hit us, and would leave for days just for him to return later pretending that everything was okay. I say us because I have 2 siblings. My mom never stood up for us. She never got us out of that bad situation. Which I can understand that it can be hard to get out of a toxic relationship, but to watch as the person you call your husband hurt your children for years and never tell anyone is crazy to me. When I was in 7th grade my paternal grandmother locked me in a room for 8 hours and then at a later date my she came and screamed at me during school. It was so bad she almost put the school into lock down and was escorted off the school property and was banned. My dad was more upset than my mom. Yeah, the guy who abused me was pissed and my mom, she didn't seem to care at all. My dad wanted and was planning to get a restraining order against my grandmother. My mom was the one who talked him out of it. I still don't know why she did that. After my parents separated my mom started dating this pos human being who would leech off everyone around him and would talk crap under neath his breath about me and my siblings when my mom wasn't near. I told my mom countless times about how I did not like this person and she just didn't listen. She would choose him over her kids time and time again. And she has. She didn't believe that I would graduate from high school and would tell me to just give up already and just settle for getting my GED. I graduated. And got no support from her. A couple months ago I got sexually assaulted, thankfully it wasn't that bad and I was able to get myself out of a bad situation fast enough before it could get worse. But it definitely left a lasting impact on me. And I took the advice of one of my friends who told me I should talk to my mom about it. I ended up telling her about it through tears and she sat there and proceeded to tell me I'm going to have to go through these experiences if I want to find love in life. And I wouldn't be surprised if she thinks I'm at fault for what happened just based on how she was talking to me. This one scares me especially because I have a younger sister, and if something happened, would my mom do the same thing to her? What if she believed that? This is just scraping the surface of all the things that has happened. I just wish my mom wasn't the way she was.

2024: Post #63 Watched April 7th On the original DVD studio release IMDB Directed by: Lars von Trier Written by: Lars von Trier, Sjón TSPDT: 721
140 minutes. Going into this run of Lars von Trier movies I would have assumed this was my favorite film of his. I saw this in theaters in 2000 and it absolutely wrecked me. I had seen it four times since then, most recently in 2007. Even 17 years later there were scenes I remembered vividly. I was very curious how it would hold up.
A common critique of this movie is there is no nuance from von Trier as he lays out the tragic dehumanization of Bjork’s Selma. Selma is a woman who is really struggling to get by. She lives paycheck to paycheck and can only really make it because a nice family lets her live in a trailer on their property. She has one son. She is obsessed with old Hollywood musicals, is a bit of a dreamer, and is a stubborn but sweet person. She also pulls a bit of money from every paycheck to save up for surgery for her son. They both share a degenerative eye disease that has her within days of going blind, and the surgery will be to help her son prolong his sight.
That’s the setup. From this premise, von Trier asks us to sit through 2 ½ hours of one of the most emotionally draining stories ever put to film. Nearly every person Selma trusts betrays her, she gets caught in a horrifying game of emotional manipulation and blackmail, and her core values are tested as she is ultimately forced to choose between her biggest dream (getting her son the surgery) or her own life. It’s heart wrenching, unflinching, horrible, brutal, every intense negative emotion you can imagine.
But I love it. I think it is simultaneously one of the best films about personal sacrifice while also pointing out the inherent flaws in the belief that our actions can save another. Without giving away spoilers, Bjork makes some decisions regarding her son that would be very important to get his input on. In an attempt to save him from blindness, which is noble, she stubbornly and blindly pushes ahead to follow through with her plan which includes not letting him know why he’s getting surgery.
As tragic as this is, I also don’t feel it’s overkill. Von Trier punishes the audience, but in the pain is a portrayal of the ultimate sacrifice. It’s a difficult, but powerful, movie featuring two of the best pure musicians in the world writing music and a bevy of fascinating technical approaches created to give the film a look that had not been accomplished despite the low grade film stock. If you can stomach a very depressing movie I would say this is a must watch.

I am a young, female student teacher in a 7th grade math classroom. I just did my first takeover week, and I am feeling very frustrated about the way it went in terms of classroom management. I know I'm probably being too sensitive and taking things too personally (this might be a bit of a rant at points), but I want to hear if anyone else has any insight for me or has had similar experiences.
I understand that it takes students a bit to adjust to having a new teacher in the classroom, but I thought things would be better since I have been building relationships with these students all year. Before I started my take-over week, about 95% of the students seemed to, at the very least, like me, and they were responsive whenever I did work in small-groups or helped individuals. I know my students very well and always try to consider their interests and the things going on in their lives, and I have had many successes in this assistant-type role. I also have experience subbing quite a bit, and I have experience (not enough, but some) enforcing consequences.
I naively assumed that my positive relationships with the students (both what I perceived and what they themselves have reported in an anonymous questionnaire I gave just before my takeover week) would mean that they would have at least some level of respect for me. I knew that liking someone does not necessarily mean respecting someone, but I was not prepared for the level of hostility and boundary-pushing I faced from some of the students.
In one class, students who know the expectations we have had all year did things like get out of their seats and crawl on the floor, or talk over other students reading math problems aloud on the board. When I told them to stop, they laughed at me and asked me what I was talking about. I followed the procedure, which I reminded them about before class, of giving detentions after two verbal warnings. Then, I was accused of being an unfair teacher.
The second class was much worse. The students are incredibly disrespectful. There is a group of students in this class who not only don't listen, but also directly mock me, insult me, and destroy my things. I hesitate to give consequences for the behaviors that are related to me specifically, because my supervisors say I am taking things personally and that I should just expect this behavior. The other students in the class have come to me saying they feel distressed because of the environment that has been created, and this is particularly concerning for me, because I want them to feel safe. But what can I do? If I try and set any sort of boundaries, the students simply say "no." If I call admin, someone might come up and talk to a student for five minutes, then send them back to class without any change in the student's behavior.
When I asked my supervisors for advice, I was told to yell more and have a more aggressive vibe (this is my supervising teacher's style). I get this in theory, but do I really have to yell and be aggressive in order to earn respect? Part of me is also irritated at idea that the behavior of the students is my responsibility entirely, that the careful planning and relationship building and deep consideration of every student's needs wasn't enough for them to treat me with at least a small amount of respect.
So, any advice?

So I don't know where to begin but my depression started at a very young age all I really remember about that day was I went under my parents bed to grab a ball and numbed my head and all these thoughts of suicide started rushing through my head and that's when my depression started don't remember how old I was but about 8-10 and might suffer from bad now not sure haven't been diagnosed as of yet but it seemered down when I reached 7th grade the year I started boxing which helped build my confidence and self-esteem and had the support of my entire family and it felt as if everyone especially my dad praising and glorifying me but ever since I stopped because I can't drop weight anymore like I use to but anyway it's like my dad dad and my whole family started to look down on me and my dad mainly just looks at me with disappointment and disgust and just bringing me to my all time low thinking suicide almost on a daily basis and I can't really turn to anyone because my dad is just an asshole now my mom would just tell me to talk to GOD although I do talk to him and believe in him but it's not the same and my grandma acts very much like my dad and my brother, we just fight alot when we talk about stuff like this and I've got no friends whatsoever I've literally thought I've many ways to kill myself all the way from cutting my rest wide open to throwing myself off a fucken freeway ramp or building. I'm losing my mind each and every fucking day and I can't help but continue to think of killing myself I have so much more to say I just can't think straight right now and I've wanted to and was close to killing myself many times heck once is to much but I don't know.

For some context my Ex-bestie (F,15)who we'll call Elle(Becauseshe played Elle woods one time),and I (F,16) are a year apart, with me being one grade above her. We've been friends since I was in 7th grade. We are both in theatre, and we met while doing a show together.We hit it off right away. Fast forward to my 8th grade year(when the story takes place). It was the lowest point in my life so far. I was losing almost all my friends,so my mental health was pretty poor. Towards the end of the year Elle told me she didn't want to be friends anymore. I completely spiraled and became easily earitable. Now for the story. I wa talking to a guy who was also in theatre, but was homo/transphobic, racist, and sextist. This guy would constently try to make me mad, but one day we had a talk. It was great! We talked about the issues of his bigotry, and we actually listened to eachother instead of yelling. I ended up saying something along the lines of "to be honest, unlike the LGBTQ+ community, God is more of a thought" we both agreed, and I made shure to state that I meant no offense. I'm an atheist, but I don't hate on any religion because I feel it's wrong. The next day, Elle comes up to me and says "what you said yesterday about God really offended me." I was mad. We hadn't spoken for about 2 weeks now, and now she was eavesdropping. I completely lost it and yelled at her. In the moment I felt completely justified,but after a few weeks I started to feel guilty,and I apologized at our annual theatre banquet. Now we're still in theatre together, but not the same class. I still feel really guilty, and I just want to know, Am I the bad apple?

Global Nickel Industry:
Nickel is a big deal in the world's move toward cleaner energy, especially with the rise of EVs and the increasing demand for electrification, as it’s a key ingredient in lithium-ion batteries. For instance, production of a single lithium-ion battery requires at least 64 pounds of nickel.
Despite its crucial role, the global nickel market is facing challenges due to oversupply, and this is an issue because it's being driven by Indonesia. Indonesia's nickel extraction process relies on unsustainable mining practices involving coal, and China's involvement in Indonesia's nickel industry has encouraged excessive production of low-grade nickel, in turn, flooding the market.
The good news is that the market is now showing interest in responsibly mined nickel. In April, we saw nickel rally 15%, gaining back some of the losses it experienced in 2023. This presents an opportunity for U.S. nickel mining companies to lead with sustainable practices.
Market Demand
EV sales continue to rise (global sales doubled to 6.75 million in 2021), and industries like national defense are experiencing pressure due to a diminishing stockpile, making the need for nickel even more urgent.
According to S&P, the U.S. is expected to require 23 times more nickel, cobalt, and lithium by 2035 and the Department of Energy has issued warnings of a potential critical nickel supply shortage by 2025.
The U.S. is currently dependent on non-Free Trade countries to supply its nickel. Apart from this supply being unsustainable, there is the added risk of it being taken away at any time, making it necessary to establish a domestic supply of critical metals like nickel.
There are only four states in which nickel mining is possible, Alaska being one of them. The U.S. has untapped nickel reserves in this state, which is good news. Alaska’s status as a pro-mining jurisdiction, combined with its high regard and vigor for environmental standards, further enhances the prospect of sustainable nickel extraction.
Mining Explorers in Alaska
Alaska offers a great opportunity to create a reliable domestic supply.
Alaska Energy Metals is a junior mining exploration company focused on nickel and other valuable metals, with its flagship project, the Nikolai Project in Interior Alaska. It holds significant potential as a domestic nickel source.
Recent updates at Nikolai show a substantial increase in indicated and inferred resources within the Eureka deposit, totaling over 8 billion pounds (indicated resources at 3.9 billion pounds and inferred resources at 4.2 billion pounds). This positions the deposit as one of the largest known nickel deposits in the U.S. Also, the consolidation of Eureka West and Eureka East deposits has enhanced the project's importance and economic potential.
Alaska Energy Metals has a strong management and technical team. $AKEMF is led by Gregory Beischer, a seasoned explorationist with over four decades of experience. Aside from Beischer's extensive background, he has been vocal in the company’s commitment to sustainable and responsible mining practices.
The company has achieved many significant milestones to date at Nikolai, and there's more to come. This month, $AKEMF will complete its metallurgical test work that focuses on deportment, grindability and flotation processes.
Alaska Energy Metals with start an extended drilling program in June to further expand Nikolai’s potential. Specifically, $AKEMF wants to improve the grade of its deposit by focusing on higher-grade core zones.
With a robust plan for further exploration and development, Alaska Energy Metals is poised to play a significant role in meeting the growing demand for nickel in the U.S. and contributing to the transition towards cleaner energy solutions.
Alaska Energy Metals trades on the TSXV under $AEMC and on the OTCQB under $AKEMF.

On July 3rd 2022, my mom decided to move us from Massachusetts to Puerto Rico. The reasons she TOLD me was that if we stayed there longer she would’ve killed herself. Also she has never not been evicted from every apartment we’ve been in. When she told me we were moving I was devastated. After I had to do online school from 7th grade to 8th grade because of the pandemic, I worked extremely hard to get into a Vocational school. Over quarantine I was also diagnosed with anxiety and depression but I had been self harming since 6th grade (my mom found out in 8th grade and took me to get therapy). Because of my anxiety it took me most of the school year to make a few friends, and I was very proud of myself because of my anxiety it’s just difficult to make friends. So when I found out my mom was making us move, it gave me a lot of anxiety. I had gone to Puerto Rico for vacations every summer because I’m from there and my dads and moms side of the family live there also, but I would never live there. Everything here is extremely different, from the schools to the people to the doctors. I am a person that likes everything to stay the same, I get very anxious from change. So I felt like all the hard work I did to get into the high school I wanted to get into was for nothing, also that working through anxiety to make friends was for nothing. When we got here I had to go to a “colegio” which is a school that you pay to go to. They were supposed to be a bilingual school and almost none of the teachers knew English. And I knew Spanish to some extent but not enough to go to a Spanish school. So after the first day I wasn’t having anxiety attacks in the morning, I was having panic attacks every morning and would miss a lot of school or text my mom to pick me up early.

Idk I guess I'm lucky all things considered when it came to being homeschooled. I had structure, even when it was kind of my mom who was teaching me. When I hit 7th grade, i got put into an online school with qualified, skilled teachers who gave me a good education which was more rounded and harder than a lot of the public schools a few of my friends and family were in at the time. I'm a junior in highschool at the moment, still online, and am dealing with crippling feelings of being left behind, regretting being homeschool, and just wishing I could have been a 'normal' teenager. It sounds so melodramatic I know but its true. I'll never get to go to prom, I'll never get to have a highschool boyfriend, I'll never get to play sports for my school, I'll never get to talk to my friends every day, laugh, and have fun with people who are my age. I have a job which makes things better because at least I'm not alone in the house all week but its depressing. Summer's around the corner and it's always the worst time for me. I'll be walking alone in the mall or in my neighborhood and see groups of teenagers laughing and smiling all together and I'm so incredibly jealous that they got to have that experience while I have no friends because they all live in texas or other places far away. Most of the summer I spend alone with my dog(parents work siblings in college), occasionally visiting my cousins or working more. Whoever decided homeschooling was beneficial needs to seriously rethink the rules and regulations around it(oh right! there are none). I remember wanting to go to a real highschool and asking my parents, but though they said the would 'think about it' it was clear that they were pushing me to choose to stay homeschooled. They would always bring up the fact that I was a grade ahead and sending me to public school would push me back. So I stayed, went to highschool online, and will never be able to go back in time and experience life the way 90% of other teens are. Every time I bring it up my mom always guilt trips me and says stuff like ohh well I guess its just all my fault that you had such a miserable life, it just alll me. At least I'm going to college tho and I'm hoping to go as far away as possible and experience everything I've missed out on.
