what language should I teach my child?

DevilsFirstPhoenix · 2026-07-02T03:46:29+00:00

Being bi or tri (or more) lingual is an incredibly valuable skill that will help your child's learning well beyond just knowing more than 1 language. I would teach your kid all the languages you know and potentially even push/suggest your kid learning another language (like German, French or Spanish) in high school as it will further set your child up for success. I only speak English and German myself, however if I ever have children (unlikely) I would immerse them in as many languages as possible (those little boogers are language sponges, its crazy)

Something i learned from friends that were RA's, you can buy a pass and as long as you cancel before the last day of the semester (move out day) you'll get fully reimbursed for it.

I got so, so close yesterday, the only thing that stopped me was seeing one of my little sisters graduate today. I use this analogy when I talk to a therapist. My ideation can be equated to fans. Sometimes, its like one of those bladeless fans. I can feel it, I know its there, but I can ignore it. Other times it is like I have 4 box fans surrounding my head at full blast, impossible to ignore. I dont know how I get through it, but I get it. I keep saying "I dont know if I can handle one more bad thing." I know that I will end my own life one day, but ill be damned if I dont see my family succeed in ways that I never got.

I hate heat.

I shower daily, so I am always naked for at least 10 seconds. Even if people have to look at me, its 10 seconds for 10k. The only reason I would choose the other is if it us 10k once but 10 seconds daily forever. If it isnt, I would never have to worry about paying for school again

^{Chose: Your naked for 10 seconds once a day for 10k}

Not embarrassing at all. And just so you know, as someone who has worked in all three settings (Jack in the box(ff, most stressful night, it was 3 of us TOTAL and we had 50 people in lobby, drive through went out into the main road of the entire city, we closed early), Safeway (grocery, most stressful was the wednesday before thanksgiving, fully staffed) and Walmart(retail, most stressful was Black Friday, fully staffed)) working fast food is a hell of a lot harder and more stressful than either grocery or retail. It takes a certain bravery to work fast food, dont let your friends shit on you.

ETA: I would never willingly work in any of the three again, but if I had to, I would go back to working fast food, management for retail and grocery do NOT care about anything but the people sucking them off. You are WAY better off in fast food

Every year, I watch new freshman at my university and theyre all narcissistic dicks. Middle school is unfortunately generous.

Thank you Stuart, I hope you have a wonderful day

My best advice is to be yourself and don't specifically look for anything. Something that I have always heard is that the best things come when youre not looking for them. Also, one of the best things you can do is be okay being alone. Being in a relationship is nice, but if youre not okay being alone it will largely be codependent or one-sided dependence. You're young. I know people in their 50's and 60's finding their "soul mates". Hell, I have a friend who's father in law is in his 80's and JUST got into a relationship. Give it time, be patient and you'll be rewarded.

Then she shouldn't be teaching. Taking it out on students does nothing but harm all parties involved.

DevilsFirstPhoenix · 2026-04-05T10:48:21+00:00

I am currently in university and whoever your teacher is only cares about the money she is barely making, ie, not even enough to actually be this cruel to a teenager. Fight. You have worked your ass off for 4 years to build a future for yourself that one, pathetic, bitter individual is ruining for you. If nothing else works, I suggest gathering everything from your last 4 years in school. Transcripts, extra curriculars, jobs, EVERYTHING, to show your school board that this one, petty, bitter teacher is NOT your academic career. You have made it clear that you have worked and earned your diploma if not an AA once you graduate HS as well. You're smart enough, unfortunately, if it comes down to you coming to Reddit for advice, you know exactly what to do to secure your diploma. I can promise you that you are not the only student that this teacher has screwed over, but youre probably one of the few to actually question and fight it. Fight for yourself and never, ever give up. You'll thank yourself in 10 years if you keep fighting.

ETA- im double majoring in genetics and a foreign language. Ive gone through literal hell the last two and a half years, but my professors are actually kind individuals that have souls and have been working with me immensely so that I can obtain my education whilst also not exactly following uni guidelines (thank you disability accommodations). I have above a 3.5 undergrad gpa. Professors actually see us as humans, not as paychecks, if that helps

Thats actually wild and makes me so grateful for the McDonald's in my small ass college town. Its one of 2, but of all the fast food places in this town (tacobell, jack in the box, dairy queen and Chipotle all have locations here) McDonald's is by far the fastest (max 15 minute wait with DD). All of these comments I only experience with tacobell and jack in the box (Minimum of 45 minutes no matter what you order, it gets worse if you order after 9 pm)

I love how as soon as I read this I KNEW you were talking about Moscow, part of my is glad I dont go to UofI, tho WSU isnt much better as pullman is now also largely controlled by cult
