OH like mid-calfs? Yes many people wear mid calf nike socks and slides together. Including myself.

I don't think OP is a troll at all. She "talks" like a teen.

No she doesn't, it's too try hard.[/quote

I disagree. I work with teens and she sounds like one. How much time do YOU spend with teenagers that would make you an expert on this?

Will my 7th grade daughter get teased if she doesn't shave her legs? She doesn't care and I don't want to make her self-conscious but I don't want her to get teased in middle school.

Thank you! I take all honors and I actually like school (which is more than I can say for some of my friends). I mean, some classes are really boring, but I do enjoy learning in general. College sort of stresses me out. I have no clue where I'll be accepted and its pretty much what motivates me to get good grades (I'm basically an A- student). It doesn't stress me out as much as it stresses some of my friends out though. I use twitter for news and my dad and i talk about world news sometimes. Occasionally I'll watch TV news in the morning if its already on, but not often.

If her hair is dark, then chances are that eventually someone will make an embarrassing comment about them. (Sorry to tell you that) If I were you, I would try to get her to shave them, 7th grade is usually when girls start. I would definitely get her to by 8th grade (and ofc by high school)

Ugh there's so much emphasis put on kids for ivies and tip schools. Wherever u go as long as I do well and rock the MCAT you will be fine!! Good grind if mine went to Syracuse u, then GW, got residency at Brown and now a ped cardiologist. She rocks. It's really about how you apply utself and if you've got hustle. Then you're golden! Don't stress too much and follow the scholarships.

Could you start a spin off thread or maybe if OP of this thread doesn't mind, you could also chime in but identify yourself? Thanks.

OP here. go ahead and answer whatever you want but please differentiate yourself from me (hahaha) it might be easier to start a new thread though.

Is there a strong STEM focus at your school, especially for girls?
