So I was thinking
Future Doctors of America
or an
AP Study Group - Somewhere we can get together and study/prepare/do homework together for AP classes.
What would look better on college applications?
THANKS!
Answer
The two clubs that you'd mentioned sound like good ideas. Regarding the AP Study Group, however, I would ask the guidance counselor or Activities Coordinator if that would actually be considered a student activity club or rather a "study group", know what I mean. The Future Doctors of America is apparently a career interest group, just fyi :)
I'm thinking that colleges look for well-rounded students who have participated in a variety of types of clubs such as an academic and/or or language club, social group and community service types of groups.
How about considering starting a club for volunteerism, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), world language club, science or math club, art club, cultural group, debate team, animal rights group, student government (if that's not already "on the docket"), environmental club, peer tutors (though meeting in neutral places such as the school itself), choir or such.

Topics that you may cover and educate your classmates and school mates about include the dangers of 'huffing' (fumes or chemical vapors), risks of 'the choking game', driving while intoxicated (DWI) and that includes any types of substances including inhalants, distracted driving (and you can make a new acronym DWI or "driving while inattentive" which includes texting, cell phone use, tuning in a radio station, engaging in conversation), the importance of wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle or motorcycle, skateboarding, skiing, riding a scooter and any other topics that may help to prevent injury to another or even death.
Regarding the huffing or inhalant use, my friend has a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) at the age of 12, now in her 30s. Other risks of huffing include sight loss/blindness, heart/liver/kidney damage, seizures, limb spasms, hearing loss and even death, all of which can happen after the very FIRST time of use. Field experts have referred to inhalant use as "Chemical Russian roulette" for that very reason.

Pertaining to 'the choking game', risks incude seizures, stroke ("brain attack") which is a type of brain injury and death, too. Some professionals have referred to 'the choking game' or 'the pass out game' as "Suffociation roulette".

Do you have to have a different license to drive a street bike?
Anna Gaine
i am buying a street bike soon. i just have a regular drivers license. also can you get a street bike at 17.
Answer
Street Bike...
Do you mean a "road bike" like these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_bicycle
or a motorized bike such as a Vespa (my cousin called those type of bikes a "Mo-Ped", emphasis on Mo) and some people call these "scooters" or "motor scooters"
or a full-blown motorcycle, which of course you need a license for.
This article http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Do_you_need_a_motorcycle_license_to_drive_a_Vespa says "For the most accurate answer, you'll need to check with your state's MVA. In general, you need a motorcycle license for anything larger than 50cc."
for just a road bicycle you mostly need to have common sense, a helmet, and make sure your bike meets certain requirements such as being safely rideable (not fall apart under you) and having the appropriate reflectors and lights.
