Resolved Question: How important is having a sport in High School?
My son is currently in high school soccer(freshman),but he does not like the team or his coach. However,he wants to join the Air Force Academy, he is taking Pre-Ap classes and is doing well in Pre-AP Biology and Pre-AP geometry,he is also in a high school engineering class which he loves ,(but cannot attend as much because it is at the same time as soccer practice(after school) and attends CAP(off campus). However,if a sport is critical to the Air Force Academy, would summer sports be enough(ie. summer soccer camps) Thank you in advance. I understand about the working as a "team" I am a veteran,and my husband is on active duty(19 years). He is in CAP (civil air patrol). So he does understand about team work,and the P.T part(that is why I mentioned summer sports). I was wondering about the 'high school team sport", how important is that? Or, will anysport do(like Tae Kwon do ,for example) Thanks.

Open Question: Possible Knee Injuries?
Lately my knee has begun to swell up. I played 3 games of soccer last Saturday, and the next morning I woke up with my knee swollen. However, there was no pain what so ever, so I played in my 2 games on Sunday as well as one last night. I have another tonight which I plan on playing in but then taking some time off from sports. Like I said there is no pain at every its just swollen, and I have a little less mobility in it. I tore my meniscus in it about 19 months ago and had surgery on it. Any ideas what it could be? I do remember falling on it during one of my games, but it didn't hurt at every. Is it maybe just overuse or could I have injured it and not known it?

I had my plicia Surgery On both knees about 6 weeks ago. I can play soccer and sports now with braces on. They have been hurting for the last couple of days. They feel like the pain I had before the surgery. Should I be concern? I am most likely going to go to the doctor for my knees again.

A couple of friends and I play League of Legends. Its a DOTA clone, we are looking to find a game that is online and is challenging.

Open Question: Will my torn ACL ever be the same?
I am 14 years old and last year I tore my ACL playing soccer, it healed but then I pulled it again about a month later. Then, that healed, and it had been fine every through my volleyball and basketball season. It has been 8 months, and I managed to do it again! but this time it feels worse than the last time. The doctor says that I am too young for ACL surgery and that I will be on crutches for 1-4 weeks and full recovery will take 2-4 months. I am wearing a knee brace and I plan on wearing it every time I play my sports. Do you think my knee will ever be the same? I cannot receive surgery because I am still growing and that will just stretch the ligament when I receive older. This will make it weaker when I receive older and then I will just tear it again.

Hi I really need some advice. Seven months ago I was diaginosed with a stress fracture in my lower back, and I was told to just relax it. So i did and eventually after many check-ups it did. My doctor said I can go back to sports and a week later I felt the pain again, and the spot feels tender and painful. I need any advice on how to receive healed and how to prevent it from comming back. I'm a star soccer player and I missed last season, and missing this comming season would kill me. Should I ice the bone? please leave some ideas/advice. Thank you.

Open Question: Im 17 and I've never been in anything close to a serious relationship, what do I need to start doing?
I'm a guy, I'm still in my junior year in high school and It seems every of my friends are already used to doing every sorts of things with girls that I haven't even arrive close to, things I have wanted to do for a long time. I've never kissed a girl of been kissed by one and I'm pretty concerned with myself. I'm no stupid or nerdy kid, I make friends pretty easy but I'm also not some social monster. I think I'm pretty athletic I've played competitive soccer my entire life and I workout daily and receive plenty of exercise running around playing sports with friends(I'm energetic and I need my exercise). I don't think I'm bad looking because I've dated girls I think are really pretty. I don't have a big ego, I think what makes people "chilly" is when they are truly glad just being themselves. I'm not mean but I do have a brutal way of disregarding my anger and sadness. I'm golden blonde with some freckled cheeks and I have pretty scandinavian white skin, I'm mostly Irish and Norwegian. My weight seems to jump around in the lower 140s by the hour, I'm 5' 8" but I expect sick grow taller in the next three years like my dad. I'm interested in girls preferably my height or shorter, slender, and athletic. I think I like girls who have rough and smart attitudes the most. But my taste in girls, I find, is often more complicated than I think it is. The only absolute thing I can say is that there is a point where a girl is two big in certain areas to be attractive to me. I'm definitely more straight than necessary but I'm not looking for girls just to play with, what I'm really looking for someone beautiful to hang out with and give and receive affection, really just someone to adore. I talk to the girls I'm interested in, I always seem to form a friendly acquaintance relationship with them when I do. But when I end up in conversations with these girls I find myself terribly afraid that they will think I'm boring or lame at worst. I feel as if they are judging what I say and do, and If I make a mistake I've ruined something. At these times I over-think the things I say, I end up thinking half about the conversation and half about not seeming stupid. The result I receive from this fearful tact of mine is usually a boring, rudimentary, and unsatisfying conversation and the only thing that's really good about them is that I don't end up seeming weird or completely awkward. That's my big problem with girls, I'm fine making friends with every sorts of people, I can be myself around pretty girls just fine, but its the girls with the certain character and look I like that trigger a self awareness in me that I've grown to hate. I've gotten past my nervous point with girls a few times, but that was because they were aware of my odd careful attitude and told me to relax. In my previous relationships I never got past my nervous fear. What can I do to receive over this? I also wonder If there is some sort of problem girls look in me that doesn't have to do with being nervous. For instance, I'm not very normal compared to what I've arrive to know as normal. I make friends or at least I'm nice to anybody who has the genuine qualities of a nice person. I'm what lots of people consider a nice guy as well, I care a lot for people, but I'm no wuss or kiss-ass to any degree. I'm not a passive person either I'll stand up for things I care about and I'm perhaps annoyingly good at arguing. I don't have people who dislike me or talk shit about me. Unlike most of my friends, I read my possess books on my possess time, I also have a close group of really good friends I spend most of my time with and nobody seems to know them in my high school. And again I have never been in adore with a girl, or even kissed a girl. My lack of success with girls hurts my confidence and sometimes It really gets to me, I receive depressed and I feel like I'm not worth anything at times, but I deal with it and I'm not into the idea of feeling sorry for yourself. Is it a big issue that I haven't kissed a girl at 17? Am I likely too odd to attract girls my age? What should I be doing to help make things better? What sort of things should I look for to look if a girls interested in me? If there's something unclear that you might need to know to answer any of these questions ask me about it. Oh and sorry for this post being so long and random Wow this is much more of a common problem than I expected. But I have to mention if it wasn't clear in what I've written, what I look for in girls isn't really specific at every, what I listed should be regarded as examples of a type of girl I'm interested in. I'm glad to hear some of you play soccer =)

Open Question: is there any way to make your sickness go away faster?
well I'm really sick. I feel like I'm going to toss up at any second, I have a fever of 100.2, I have a headache, stuffy nose, sore throat, I'm dizzy, every of my body aches, and I'm so weak that I can't walk around without holding onto something or I'll fall. Which sucks because today was our first varsity soccer game that I was supposed to play in, and there was a meeting for people who want to play sports in college tonight; both of which I will have to miss. So I want to be 100% completely better by next tuesday (our next game). I am drinking lots of water, I have only gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom, and I am wearing warm clothes. Is there anything else I can do to make sure I have NO traces of my sickness left by tuesday? thanks :)

Open Question: Why all the fuss about Carl Edwards?
He was doing his job and doing it well. Punishing him would be tantamount to punishing a pro football player for tackling an opponent. If you are going to race stock cars then you had better be able to take the hits the same as in football, baseball, soccer, or any sport. Then you have these wimps who want to nail you for playing rough. Well lets kiss and make up and play tag football and make every the drivers stay in one straight line. Cream puff derby is what it's become

Open Question: Hurt my ankle. Have a question?
Well, i hurt my ankle a few years ago, i would say about 4-5 years ago. I was playing basketball and i sprained it and then ended up sitting on it when i fell, and heard it pop and crack but never went to the hospital (STUPID) i know. I laid in bed and gave it time to heal. And it did. Problem is now, whenever i move my ankle it pops and the ankle itself ridiculously hurts whenever i play sports, soccer, bball etc. Like BAD pain. It just feels real uncomfortable, it pops when i move my foot side to side as well. Its really difficult to explain it, its just a real uncomfortable feeling inside the ankle, If anyone has the same issue or would have any advice on what it could be or if it could be treated by surgery or something i would adore to receive an opinion. Thanks in advance, and bless.

Resolved Question: Why can't I remember anything?
I can't remember anything. SOmeone tells me something and I can't remember it. If someone tells me to do more than two steps at a time, I can't remember it. I can read a vocab word like 10 times, and then forget it, its kinda frusterating. I receive about 6 hours of snooze a night because I have track practice after school and then I arrive home, do homework, then go to soccer practice, then I receive home at about 11:00 at night and go to bed by 12:00. This is about three times during the school week. I know " snooze is key" but I honestly don't have time to snooze because my teachers are asses and my family is sports obsessed. What can I eat to help me remember things. Oh, yea I'm stressed mostly because I never have time to do things I want to do so how can I not become not stressed. Please don't say receive snooze, be organized and don't fall asleep in class, because I can't honestly. It's impossible. So please help. Is there some nice of brain food I can eat or drink?

Open Question: Why is it that when I get injured (which is quite often) that I don't swell up?
I take part in many sports (basketball, snowboarding, soccer) and I always seem to receive injured. I have broken my finger, wrist, and ankle. When I broke my ankle I went to the doctors and they said I had a mild sprain and didn't do and x-ray. After a month of pain I found a new doctor who did an x-ray and found that I had a healing fracture but was regrowing the wrong way. I believe that the reason for the doctor not even bothering to take an x-ray was because there was little to no swelling and I don't bruise very easily either. Why is this?

Resolved Question: Why do people fight each other over the outcome of a sport?
I've heard a lot of stories of sports fans breaking out into fist fights before or after a sports game, sometimes even during. I heard this one story about an 8th grade basketball team getting beat up in Philly for beating the home team! 8th graders getting beat up! They're kids for God's sake!!! And some people in European countries are absolutely insane when it comes to soccer or football (whichever you prefer to call it). And don't even receive me started on Red Sox fans who visit NYC or vise versa! What is with these people!

Open Question: I have a pretty big dilemma!?
My dad told me this morning that I have to pick a sport so I can start being active and stuff. I was thinking about volleyball, soccer, and tennis... but I don't want to do those. I was really excited when he told me this at first, but now I don't want to play a sport. Everything is so expensive. And let me tell you (I'm very competitive) my schools' teams suck! Their ranked in 9th of just our county. There are only 10 teams (soccer). Our volleyball team is supposed to be really good, but I don't know if I want to play volleyball, or tennis. So, I need to find something to do so I can be active, because I don't think I want to play any of those sports. Maybe you guys can tell me what it really feels like playing those sports. I've played soccer and volleyball for the YMCA. But I've never really played tennis.

Open Question: Should I play football my senior year?
So here's the deal. last year I was the kicker on the football team, and after the season ended i thought I was gonna play football full time next year. However, I hurt my back pole vaulting last spring and have had back pain ever since. i was at the doctor getting xrays and i have a birth defect where my spinal cord is getting rubbed by a bone. it's not serious but, the doctor said it will cause me pain. So now I have physical therapy 3 times a week and chiropractor once. I have been every day, especially when I do everyday tasks like playing drums, washing my car, sitting at the computer, and sitting at school. I probably won't run track this year because of it and I am not sure about football. I am about 50/50 right now as to whether I want to. I'm not a big fan of sports, however I am very athletic and strong. I like doing my possess thing though, for example making my possess fitness plan and working out everyday. Football is a huge time commitment, which is a big part of the reason I quit in 7th grade. I would just like to like my summer; hang out with friends, swim, and receive a girlfriend. I would also like to participate is triathlons to have fun and stay in shape. I don't want to play football because 1) its a huge time commitment 2) I don't want to hurt my back for my future, I want to run and work out everyday, like I do now, and when I am older 3) before I kicked I was always got really nervous, to the point where I wouldn't want to go out on the field 4) I like doing this independently, I don't really like team sports. Main reason I do want to play is I don't want to look back and regret (however, I have played 3 years of varsity soccer, 2 years of varsity track, and 1 year of varsity football). I think before I wanted to play for the wrong reason: to receive more recognition. I wanted people to look how good I was which didn't happen with soccer. So, I basically want your guys opinions and input. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Open Question: Do I have a genetic advantage for sports?
I'm in Track and Field, soccer as well as hockey. I am, what I think most would consider, very athletic. I excel at every of the sports I'm in, if that's not too narcissistic. The thing is, I workout two, maybe three, times a week. I can go for 15 minutes on the exercise bike on 40lb of resistance without feeling exhausted. My lung capacity is huge -- 7.1letters -- the same as many professional athletes. Yet, I'm only 17 (nearly 18). Another thing; I weigh 185lb, up from 150lb 18 months ago. I've been working out for those 18 months, a lot and most of that weight is in pure muscle. I put on muscle mass incredibly quick. I've seen guys who eat right, receive lots of snooze, have good workout routines, etc and still put on muscle slower than I do. So, I've arrive to the conclusion that my athletic ability does not really spawn from difficult work, but from a genetic advantage. I'm in every advanced classes, and with every of that homework, like I said, I don't have the time to train that much, relatively. So, do I have a genetic advantage for sports?

Resolved Question: What else to get into Brown?
I have another question - since I am not American, I know how you calculate your GPA, but here it's not the same, we don't have those honor classes or whatever they are, we study everything, and it's nice of difficult for me to calculate my GPA, but I will put it this way - a senior told me that prep year is not considered, but they look at the second half of 9th grade, and every of 10, 11 and 12 grade. My overall GPA from 9 grade is 5.5 out of 6, which roughly means half of my grades were sixes, and the other half fives. I am really pissed at myself because I could have easily scored more, but I still didn't know what I wanted to do. This year I nice of screwed up a couple of subjects and I will score 5 for the year, but I am hoping that my GPA will be around 5.7 this year. If I receive 6.0 for both 11 and 12 grade, do I stand a chance for Brown? I am planning to study a lot this summer and the next for SATs and APs, planning to take at least three subject tests on both. I have plenty of extracurriculars, next year I will be president of at least two clubs, I'm in a soccer team, and outside of school I do really a lot of sports. Tell me what else do I need to do, because I am going crazy :D

Open Question: Rename this Character?
Merissa Cosmos ~ Twin sister to Penelope Cosmos she originally had long black inky shoulder length hair like her sister but then decided to clip it short now its about the length of her chin and unlike her sister smooth straight hair hers is spiky at the bottom. The same features as her sister though she likes to wear shorts and clip off jeans with breezy tank tops with messages on them like I heart NY. She loves sports and is in a soccer team. She enjoys getting perfect grades and will go at great lengths to study for a upcoming test. Her best classes are P.E., Math and science. She has a big group of friends and is very talkative also the schools “risk taker” as known to adore playing truth or dare. She can be very moody at times and will be extremely icy voiced when discussing her family’s past.

Open Question: I'm becoming a little hopeless...?
I feel like I'm going insane. I've never told this to anyone because it's never been an issue for me and I've never wanted to bother anyone about my issues on this subject. I've never had a real boyfriend. I've dated around, but have never gotten serious. I'm an 18 year old girl from a tiny town. I've been told that I'm gorgeous, and even mesmerizing. I don't act that way, but that doesn't mean I'm not confident in myself. I am more down to earth than many people I know (at least who are my age, even older). I'm petite, but not a midget haha. I have long brown hair that I don't have to do much to it to make it look good. I have really colorful eyes that are mostly green. I tan easily. I play a lot of sports and do well in school. I have a lot of friends and am always willing to help others out. I'm always having really deep, intellectual conversations with a lot of people. People tell me I'm one of the few people they can actually connect to on a deep level, because most people are too shallow or dumb to talk about anything important. (not my words haha). I dress in style, but most of the time I'm showing up to parties in sweats. Apparently it's my trademark look and I can tug it off well. I'm very curvy but I don't have a big butt or boobs. I'm told my butt is "cute". That doesn't really mean much though haha. I actually have a really good sense of humor and people know it. I'm a flirt, but I'm not desperate. I'm also a virgin. I hook up with guys but I never do more than that, because I'm not in a rush to lose it to just anyone. I do have standards.. I'm really spontaneous and adore to have fun and party, but I have my head screwed on right. I have a bright future and can't wait to receive on from high school and continue into college, with being a serious student and soccer player. People really do tell me these things, I'm not lying. And I feel extremely conceited summing myself up like this, but i only do this because I could never do this in real life. I only say these things because I know they're true and people say them to me too. Yet I can never receive a boyfriend? I don't try, and I know that I can live without one.. I have been forever haha. But sometimes you just receive lonely, when every your friends have someone to hold and you don't. Hah, I sound so ridiculous so please forgive me. I'm definitely not perfect, but I feel like I'm girlfriend material. Why is it so difficult for someone like me to find someone? Is there something about me that's just so unappealing? I've actually asked my best guy pal this question not too long ago, and he says that he thinks I'm too intimidating. He thinks I'm too mature and good for most guys to approach me... personally I think that's a bit of a stretch. I'm not an intimidating person.. Well, some girls think I am but it's bound to happen once in a while. Can someone give me a bit of advice on what I am doing wrong and what I should be doing? I feel like an idiot for going on the internet for advice, but I'm not gonna receive real, unbiased advice anywhere else. Thank you :)

Open Question: Pulled muscles, what should I do?
Yesteday, I played football (soccer) for the first time in around 6 months. I was stupid and I didn't stretch or warm up or anything. In fact, I think that was the first time have done sports in 6 months (not including light, inconsistent weight training). This morning, I woke up with my legs in so much pain. Even as I walked home last night, I was slightly limping because my legs hurt so much. The muscles that hurt are: - Right leg thigh - Both leg hamstrings and groin muscles - Bum muscles - Muscles in the hips, around the join where your leg joins onto the hips (left side) - On the side of my body, slightly higher than the hip, in line with belly button, on right side is where there is some other pain. I am guessing that I have just pulled every these muscles and hopefully it is nothing serious. What should I do to speed up my recovery, e.g. Exercises, foods to eat, etc. Thanks :)

Resolved Question: Does Free Will disrupt Evolution?
My question is really is this - Does free will (or intelligence if you will) disrupt the flow of Evolution, as defined by Darwin.
This really isn't a thing that I think anyone can answer, or really give a definitive answer but I am curious to look what other people think.
My answer is yes, and only because of this. As a Human, we every know that ONE guy, or maybe there's several of those one guy's, that should not be able to breed and yet he has 11 kids. However, does that mean we could (without genetically enhancing anyone) steer our evolutionary course? I find it interesting, but if you look at some of the Ivy League schools research into evolution, Americans have been growing taller, and by a good bit. Photo documentation of this (and I don't remember where I saw this) stems from a photograph of each years graduating class, starting in 1954, give or take a couple years. At the time, average height of a man was around 5'6-5'8", while today it is nearing 6'3" and the same goes for women.
The same goes into sports. Look at football / soccer / rugby /
