Do colleges look at high school attendance during applications?
Thanks for the A2A, Daniela!I’ve never seen a transcript that mentions attendance. It’s far more important that you do well in your classes and stay involved in your passions and your community than that you go to school every single day. However, repeated absences and truancy that results in lowered grades and/or disciplinary action will definitely be passed along on your transcript to the colleges you are applying to.In addition, most of the colleges request a general letter of recommendation from your counselor (even the ones who don’t request letters from teachers), and he or she will have access to your attendance records. If he or she sees something there that raises a red flag, they may decide to mention that in your recommendation.The bottom line is that its not necessary to kill yourself to get to class every single day, but you do need to attend class regularly unless you have a really good reason (like an illness). Not going to class will limit the colleges you can apply to, because it will knock down your GPA and may result in detention/suspension.
What are the consequences of punching someone in the face after you were deliberately provoked?
I normally answer these questions from my current point of view as a legal practitioner. But, as I have personal experience with this particular scenario, I’ll give you this info as a former/reformed hothead.I personally have had someone provoke me; and, I punched him right in the nose. It was a gratifying crunch and he dropped, crying about how sorry he was; but, only for a few minutes.As soon as I walked away he called 911 and the coops showed up to arrest me for battery. So, I went to jail.As that was not my first arrest for such asinine behavior the magistrate decided I could spend the remainder of the weekend in jail until I saw the judge on Monday.The judge agreed with the magistrate and denied me bail, setting the trial for a month away.A couple of weeks later I was finally assigned a public defender who told me about a deal being offered by the prosecutor. I pled no contest to simple assault, they dropped the felony, and, after 20 days in jail I got a quick hearing where the judge released me to my new buddy for the following three years - a probation officer. I ended up paying nearly $18,000 in damages (medical bills), fines and court costs and was chained to a PO for those three years where I had to take time off work (costing me more money each time; and a couple of jobs during those years) to go take drug tests or just come in for meetings. Plus, I got to spend a couple more weeks in jail until the court figured out I wasn’t the one who beat that same guy to a pulp outside of a bar one night.So, if you’ve already done this, good luck (honestly, I got off easy, your sentence is likely to be much worse). If you haven’t punches this moron yet; don’t do it.I’ll leave you with the words that judge spoke to me all those years ago- “Son, there is absolutely no word in the English language anyone can say to you that gives you the right to put your hands on them!”
Do you think cross dressing should be illegal?
yes I'm a lesbian and I still don't think it's ok to dress in women's clothing if you are a guy. sorry, it's creepy. and it's also not fair when you go to hit on someone and they're all dressed up in drag and you can't tell what they are... nowadays, we are getting to the age where you gotta ask "are you male or female? gay or straight? have you had a sex change?" before you even think about getting close to someone. It's nonsense. gay, I get that. crossdressing? sounds like guys being jealous of girls and vice versa.
