  1. Unfortunately, I've been picked on and ridiculed for most of my life. Most of it comes from my past language barrier (I'm Chinese) while the rest comes from my past lack of coordination. Also some people did not like my intelligence. The first words I heard in the middle school was "Go home you f--king immigrant." I had no friends or anyone to go to until late high school. I ate lunch alone while people I can only describe using the a--hole word bothered me. Occasionally it became physical and I just succumbed to their demands. I was afraid of more trouble so I did not tell anyone what happene
  2. There are always people who want something and Ebay is oftentimes the first place one would look. Maybe the guy needs money? My friend is selling a lot of things on Ebay out of desperation to buy a new car. However, as an experienced Ebay seller, I don't think someone is likely to buy that for that price.
  3. Good post guy above me. I had a busy schedule during high school, but I stayed active in scouting. It's all about what you want. I didn't work a job, but I traded on Ebay and made a decent amount of money to pay for my hobby of wargaming (airsoft). I was senior patrol leader during the time and came to almost all the meetings and still had little trouble getting a very high GPA. However, I had to give up my Junior Prom with a girl who really hates me now. I was called a loser for a while but oh well, I got into a good college for what I did and I don't regret it one bit.

In the past, most SPL's seemed to just waste time during meetings talking about things that 1/2 the guys already knew or had no interest in (Often things that did not benefit them). When I was elected to the position, I tried to do Eagle required merit badges at the meetings while the younger guys worked on advancement with people who already had that badge. I had almost no problems with uncooperative behavior as people were eager to go forward with their advancement. The one guy who didn't go with the program had to be removed from the troop for hi
  5. Hi my name is Phil and I'm a engineering student in central Illinois. The reason I'm here is because I want to get some advice. I grew up in California and became an Eagle scout. However, now the troop I came from is not doing too well. When I served as senior patrol leader, we had about 40 people, but now it is down to about 10. There has also been talk of it disbanding. I want to use some of my spare time to see if I can help it, as I don't think I would be where I am today without them. Also my name means "Modern" in Russian (Yes, it's also the name of a Russian destroyer). I'm in
  6. We had one group try the name "Great White Gerbils" which was disallowed in case someone belived it to be racist.
