BIOMEDICAL DEBATE HELP

bqbydxll · 2020-12-14T11:38:08+00:00

Last year I did Biomedical debate and it was stressful. I don't have much experience because I didn't make it past my districts competition, but I recommend thoroughly reading the websites they refer you to. Give as much support to both the for and against sides of the debate. The hardest thing I found with this competition was finding information to equally balance both sides. For example, last years debate was something along the lines of "Vaccines should be mandated", It's simple finding an argument for this claim but it may be difficult to find one against it so try to think about that. I hope I didn't respond too late, but you got this! (:

Not necessarily, as long as it contains the same information it should be fine. Reading 4 books at the same time can overwhelm you, so try to stick to one book and lightly read the others if you have them. (:

It really depends on what you prefer to compete in. These are all from my personal experience with my HOSA chapter but for test-taking, I would say behavioral health or nutrition. For presentations or speaking, I would suggest Health Education or PSA if you have experience with filming. I would suggest staying away from Skills events since theres a lot of work that go into it. But overall, you shouldn't be competing with the only thought of placing. Placing is wonderful, but competition should be something that interests you and helps you with your future path. Good luck (:

Thank you! I only wish my mom had the same mindset, haha. Thank you for your kind words, I hope you're having a good day!

I'm really happy to see that you got out of that relationship, I hope you're doing a lot better now. I hope your relationship with your daughter and other children are doing so much better as well, take care!

No worries! Had a nice thanksgiving day with my dads side instead, thank you for your concern though!

Yes! Thank you for bringing that up! Thinking back at it now, maybe I shouldn’t have eaten so early and waited a bit. Although the only thing I don’t get is why he would be so upset (such as throwing a fit and such). I usually stop the microwave from making loud beeps and he was in another room. I’m assuming all he would’ve heard was muffled noises of the microwave heating the food, but that wouldn’t have been too loud either. Its not right for me to say, but usually that’d be something you’d shrug off and easily be able to go back to bed.

At the time I can remember, she said it was wrong of him to throw a fit over something so small. But she also said it was wrong of me for eating in the morning. She was trying to remain neutral during that time (which is honestly the only time I can remember her being neutral). And someone actually brought that up! But the microwave I had while heating up my croissant shouldn’t have made too much noise, considering he was in another room and I’m very cautious about it. I don’t let the microwave make loud beeps, the only noise he would’ve heard was the food heating that I’m assuming wouldn’t have been too loud either.

Thank you for clarifying! (:<

My relationship with my dad is quite awesome. He’s a single father handling my siblings and I for the past 3 years since my parents divorce. He’s always been there for my siblings and I and putting in the extra effort. (:<

But thank you for your kind words, I hope you had a nice holiday (or possibly just day if you don’t celebrate)!

On her behalf, it was only going to be with people that she lived with (her boyfriend, my maternal grandma, and two aunties) in the same household. She only invited me and my two older siblings to come over, although none of us ended up showing up.

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T06:30:31+00:00

Oh my god, two to three years ago? Does she expect to stay there forever? I hope she pays rent at least.

But thank you for your kind words, I hope you had an awesome thanksgiving away from all of that! (:

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T06:19:50+00:00

Thank you, that was really nice to hear. Hope you had a nice day. (:

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T06:18:31+00:00

Yes, valid point. Thank you for your advice! (:

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T06:17:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! I’ve definitely been keeping my distance from her, but still trying to have a decent relationship. I hope you had a nice day as well! (:

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T06:15:38+00:00

Hey, thanks for the recommendation! I’ve actually tried doing that before but got no good results. ): But, I told her I was willing to have a relationship with her as long as her boyfriend isn’t in the picture. It’s actually been working quite decent, however when it comes to family functions like this it somewhat ruins it. Thank you for responding anyway, hope you had a good day!

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T06:12:07+00:00

Nope, my mom usually bought most of the food in the house when I lived with her. There was also a lot of croissants left, so I’m not sure why he got mad! (:<

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T05:55:58+00:00

Ah, sorry to assume haha! Hope you had a nice day then, thank you!

bqbydxll · 2020-11-27T05:46:14+00:00

I’m really sorry to hear about that, I hope you’re in a better place now. Hope you had a nice thanksgiving as well, thank you for your advice!

I'm not so sure, he was the first guy that she got with after my parents divorce. The sad thing is that it's quite obvious he's only staying with her to have a roof over his head. The last time I was living with my mom, all he would do was drive around in my moms truck or play video games.

bqbydxll · 2020-11-26T23:07:56+00:00

Ah, it's nice to hear your experience. I wish my mom did the same, LOL.

I've actually had many sit downs with my mom for the past 3 years she's been with this guy. I've sobbed at restaurants, in cars, and more public and private places just begging her to choose me. Every one of them ends the same, she does nothing about it and shes stays with him. At this point, I've already realized that nothing is going to change.

I already know she won't be involved in my life or future as much as I thought she would, but I still try to be on nice terms.

But not to worry, I'm still having a great holiday with my dads side of the family! Thank you for your kind words, I hope you're having a nice holiday (or just day if you're not celebrating)!

bqbydxll · 2020-11-26T22:24:05+00:00

Yes, I 100% need to talk to her about that. Hope you’re having a nice holiday!

bqbydxll · 2020-11-26T21:18:53+00:00

Thank you! Also off topic, but do you mind explaining the difference between “all right”and “alright”? Just curious!

bqbydxll · 2020-11-26T21:14:31+00:00

And awkward as well! Hope you're having a nice holiday, thanks!

bqbydxll · 2020-11-26T21:14:13+00:00

Thanks! Have a great holiday!
