Student Exchange Programs

There is this guy I like he is an exchange student. I’ve talked to him a few times at school and every time I see him I get butterflies in my stomach. I message him on facebook sometimes and he messaged me right back. but now when I message him he never messages back and suddenly logs off. then at school I’m walking past him and his friends and they stare at me, when I walk down the halway one of his friends always look at me, or in the cafeteria I walk by with my friends and he and his friends look over I just don’t know what to do anymore I really like him but I don’t think he does! I don’t think he likes me cause I big bonned!

Why are most chinese and Japanese exchange students so quiet. I ask them a question in class and they usually are very quiet.

I don’t know if what they did to me was actually illegal, or just massively evil.
The first thing that happened wasn’t the worst, but it’s what’s making me think there’s something fishy going on. I participated in the You Are Loved Chalk Message Project, which is a nationwide protest against the bullying of gay students where you write positive messages to them on the sidewalks in washable chalk. Keep in mind that the art classes at my school draw with chalk very often. But when I did it on my own, they called it VANDALISM, which by their definition means I caused physical damage to school property, and I obviously didn’t. That gave me two days of in-school suspension, which even my teachers agreed was way too much.
But then the second thing happened, and now I think I have some form of PTSD.
My friend and I were having innocent fun writing very inappropriate poems. They were completely private business that had nothing to do with the school except for the fact that that’s where we exchanged them; we didn’t even read them on campus. However, one of mine somehow got loose and into an administrator’s hands. Okay, that’s worth a detention at worst. I’ll admit I deserved a little bit of punishment. But not the two-month suspension they gave me. And you know whose “fault” it was? The friend I was exchanging the poems with. They found it with her, so she was associated with the whole ordeal by default. I was immediately suspended for the first seven days because the poem was “distasteful” and I was a “danger” to the community in the school. Right… But then came my ‘panel,’ or basically a trial that would decide my real punishment. And she was there, of course. They asked her what she thought when I gave it to her. She said that she was very offended and could not believe I would give something like that to her. That sealed my fate, and I was given two months out-of-school suspension along with 20 hours of community service- and shelving books in a library was actually kind of emotionally scarring. Nonstop, repetitive work for no pay, even for just four hours a day (after seven at school), is depressing and I still feel somewhat uneasy in and around libraries. But the worst came from the Gwinnett InterVention Education Center, where I had to go since I couldn’t attend any of the normal schools. That’s where people go when they’re on parole or expelled. It was horrifying. If I happen to think of it when I’m trying to sleep, I’ll be up at least another hour, sometimes even teary-eyed.
But, okay, what’s the catch?
Today, she came back to me for the first time since the panel over a year ago. We both assumed that the other hated us, so we sort of strayed apart. But when she came back to me, she said she was sorry, and that she tried to stop them but they wouldn’t let her. They told her what to say. They brought her in to “rehearse” and then whenever she gave an answer, they said “No, that’s not good. Use this instead.”
The fact that I live in Georgia makes me wonder if the fact that the first time I ever got in trouble was because I support gay people had anything to do with that. They were overly harsh both times, and on the second occasion, even manipulated the only witness to get me punished much worse than I actually would have been. I really feel like it has something directly to do with homophobia and that it was all personal attacks against me. Even if it wasn’t, there’s still the issue that they affected the outcome of my panel to put me in much worse of a position, giving me some kind of PTSD, delaying my ability to get my license for a year, and quite possibly making it more difficult for me to get into certain colleges or get certain jobs.
There’s no denying that what they did was morally wrong and horrible, but do I actually have a case?

We have been dating for about 5 months now. I’m not religious and neither is he. However, because he is Canadian and comes from a Catholic family I’m sure he still celebrates Christmas as a family holiday. We are both 21 and attend university (both of us also have good paying jobs). We never exchanged gifts and he does occasionally pay for our dates (I like to split the bill once in a while as he is a student too). I don’t know if I should buy him a gift? I obviously don’t expect him to buy me one but I don’t know if I will make him feel like he has to buy me one if I get him something. What should I get him? I was thinking a sweater from Armani Exchange?

theres this exchange student at my school (not mine, someone in the grade about me is hosting him) but he will not leave me alone and its driving me crazy. he added me on Facebook and asked for my number (which i felt obligated to give him because there was no way to avoid giving it to him without being a complete b!tch)
he texts me every single day, i don’t answer, usually because i’m doing homework or i don’t have my phone on me. if i don’t answer the texts, he will call me. and when i don’t answer the phone, he goes and chats me on Facebook. he follows me around at school from a distance, so its stalker-ish. often times if I’m in the library or cafeteria and i look up or look at a friend, he’s in the background just staring at me and smiling.
also, he just texted me and said “You break my heart cause i never get to talk to you! haha”

*also, there is no reason he should think i am interested in him whatsoever because i don’t reply to texts, phone calls, or chats. also in school when he tries to talk to me i don’t really make an effort to keep the conversation going and eventually he just walks away after awkwardly standing there while I’m doing homework or something.

what do i do!?
he doesn’t leave for another two weeks and i don’t know if i can take this constant annoyance every day. i’ll be trying to study, or do homework, or talk to a friend and he constantly pops up, texts, calls, or chats me and its just extremely irritating.

I’m an exchange teenage student in hungary.

I’m going to a Christmas party for three days with all the other exchange students from all around the world. It starts this Friday.
Me and a Brazilian guy, we are supposed to make a presentation for the rest of the group. The presentation can be anything (a song, a joke, a play, anything even if it’s really stupid, I once did a human bullfight and it was a success).

I need ideas, but not just ideas. I need really cool original and funny ideas because I’m blank and so is my partner.
Anything at all, as long as it’s original, funny and possible.
It would be better if it could be about Hungary or Christmas or so. But if you have ANY good idea, please share.

Thank you very much
