AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a user named Evo, whose avatar is a picture of her 16-year-old daughter, who excels in honors and AP classes but is not interested in physics. Instead, she is considering a career in law or psychology, having achieved success in forensic debate. The conversation touches on the similarities in appearance between Evo and her daughter, with some humorous speculation about cloning. Participants discuss the challenges of teenage driving in the U.S., expressing concerns about the age at which teens obtain their licenses and the associated risks.

Evo-- Question

I think I read somewhere -- don't ask me where-- that your avatar is a picture of your daughter. I was wondering if this was true or if it ws my imagination-- also if it is true-- Does she like physics lol-- I am 17 and figured the picture looked at least 5 years in the range (on the older side) but then again i could be comepletly wrong

Yes, that is my daughter and she is 16. She is very smart, all honors and AP classes. She's not into physics though. She is deciding between law & psychology right now. She's tops in forensic debate in the state, so law would be a natural for her, although she would do well in psychology.

Her sister is a talented artist and as soon as she gets me some of her drawings, I will post them.

Wow. Pretty and smart. Must be taking after her mother :smile: .
 
It's actually pretty hard to tell the difference between the Evo picture and Evo Jr. picture. They look an awful lot alike to me.
hmm... I wonder if Evo had herself cloned...?
 
I am still waiting to see the change but I can never tell when Evo is on because the little green light doesn't try on anymore. :frown:

Evo has magical powers that she uses to keep her green light off.

And she's much too busy working...

She is very smart, all honors and AP classes.

Does AP and Honor classes in America account for smart? American grade school is usually pretty easy, and even with AP classes, wouldn't be harder than what is taught regularly in other countries like France or China.

Not that I'm saying the Ottowa school system or Canadian school system is better, because it's just as easy if not easier. I'm just saying that the Quebec system is better.

I would say American schools are much easier than schools in most other countries.

Depends on what you do

normal school is a joke, but i like the math and science center I go to
I was lucky ennough to visit one of the top boarding schools in England when i went over there to give my lecture on TOE

thats fun she does forensics-- I did it the last 2 years, didn't take it too seriously as it was very umm unique. I did surprisingly make it to states for Impromptu-- an event where you are given an editorial about a topic say Civic Infastructure then you have to read it in about 30 seconds and start talking within about that time and ur speach must last 6 minutes

what event does she do-

As far as I can tell, they indeed look like very beautiful woman. Since they are doubtlesly also very intelligent, this demonstrate that they can't exist.

Sorry. :blushing: Within this theory, I would probably be one of the most beautiful person in this forum :-p

I will ask her if she's willing for me to give you her info. She's rarely online anymore, I rarely see her since she got her car when she turned 16. :frown:

Tom McCurdy said:

From the debates I've been to (I got voluntered to be a debate judge) the topics vary by level. At her school there are two people to a team. They are given a topic and they have to be prepared to argue for or against it.

I will try to remember tonight to ask her to explain more to me.

What is it with Americans and rushing to get their license at 16? Most of them can hardly drive, a reason why they get into so many damn accidents.

In parts of Europe and Asia, you don't get your license 'till 18 and I wish that was the law in North America.

I'm tired of seeing 16 and 17 year olds flying down the road when they have no clue about how little driving skill they have.

I've seen 17 year olds drive to their neighbor's house. Bicycles and the public transit become non-existant to North American high schoolers once they get that license.

oh debate and forensics are two separate programs
in forensics you particpate in particular "events" as opposed to policy debate which it sounds like she does as opposed to congress

they all count towards NFL though

No offense, but you come off as kind of desperate for some female friends.

I thought for a moment on how to respond to this statement. If i were to respond in defense it would seem like you are correct and I am lying. however if I were to say your right then it would have the same end outcome.

Let me just say I always would like more female friends... you can never have ennough. But i do have a fair amount of female friends-- I have been ranked first on the varsity soccer team for last 3 years for our d 1 school, so i have a lot of friends through soccer. However going to a math and science center does limit the actual time i am able to spend with them. However at the center we seem to be fine... you can check out www.quantumninja.com to see well proof that i am alright

but hmm
maybe it would have been best if i didn't respond but this is useful in delaying on working on college apps

I've seen 17 year olds drive to their neighbor's house. Bicycles and the public transit become non-existant to North American high schoolers once they get that license.

Im 17 and a senior with no car, no insurance, and no rush to get anywhere. I was too busy with schoolwork to get a permit at 16. I see sophomores already driving around, wasting precious gas and not carpooling. Insurance costs wayy to much for me right now, and I can't get a job with my time-intensive courses. Instead, I run around town. Slower, a little, but free.

Whenever I do get my car eventually, it will strictly be from point A to point B, carpooling with my cousins to school. Also no 'joyriding'. That would be an economic waste of money.

Dagenais, I agree completely with you about these teenagers who have no idea how to drive. They're all over the place at my school. A few of the more idiotic ones taunt me and call me a b*tch whenever I am running. I am just waiting for the day they are put in jail for wreckless driving. Its extremely rude for them to be insulting strangers from the beds of their pickup trucks, they are nothing but hooligan loosers.

I agree with 16 being too young to drive for most kids. They just raised the age here, my daughter is one of the last to get a "real" license at 16.

Where we live, her closest friends are at least 10-15 miles away from us. There is no mass transit here, no taxis, car is the only way. Before she got her license, all I did was drive her and her friends places. It was my second full time job. She had school, track, debate, now she also has a part time job.

Depending on where you live in US/Canada, I don't think 16 year olds are allowed to car pool until after a certain amount of time. They are suppose to drive alone, with adults or immediate family members only. Evo may be able to tell you more since her state just changed laws. :confused:

People get their permits at age 15 now and licenses at age 16! And the way they drive, like you say, wastes gas needlessly. The manner in which I see High Schoolers drive, including constantly flooring their cars, doing spins is both wasteful and dangerous.

However, I do realize that ost of you know that I'm a fan of SUVs but I like them because SUVs are great vehicles and their faults are exaggerated.

A few of the more idiotic ones taunt me and call me a b*tch whenever I am running.

I always wonder why there aren't any cops patrolling High School areas. Just 15 minutes before and after the bell would ensure that High Schoolers would be more cautious drivers. I see tons of them breaking the law, and barely miss collisions. A half hour each day like that would make a big difference.

Instead of watching the High Schoolers, the police watch for adults speeding through school zones when the biggest potential for accidents are teenagers.

I usually ride my bike around town. I'm not in good enough shape to be running around town. :frown:

Im just waiting for the day they are put in jail for wreckless driving. Its extremely rude for them to be insulting strangers from the beds of their pickup trucks

It shouldn't be long until they get their license suspended. If the harassment gets to be too much, you could always file a complaint to the local authorities or talk to the school office (writing a polite letter to both). Some may think that's squealing and being jerky, when really, you're trying to keep people safe.

Where we live, her closest friends are at least 10-15 miles away from us.

Pffff...I can easily bike that distance. :wink:
