I think that, at your age, kids notice the people they are friends with and the people who they find extremely distasteful. That leaves a gap where the people who are average, dress okay and don't talk much fit. These people are not invisible to the popular ones, but they are not pursuing friendships with them because these people are not actively seeking out friendships with them and the 'popular' people who you are talking about probably don't consider themselves popular, they just know that they have a large group of friends and are not going to seek out friendships with people outside of their group. My advice to you is to make friends, especially go for the people like you who may not stand out as much at school. This way, you can network and develop your own circle of friends and you won't even notice who's popular or not anymore. And remember, you're a good person.

I'm from Minnesota, and I think that we and Canada share a lot of stereotypes. I've told people that I'm from Minnesota and they just say 'brrr.' I think I visualize Canada as moderately cold (0-20'F) with a lot of plains, and Toronto as large and gray. I also think that you're all into cultural studies because I had a Canadian teacher of that subject once. And I love your television shows (Red Green, Newsroom)!

Although society does have a lot of confusion about love and infatuation (love=mutual respect, common interests, ability to communicate, spiritual binding; infatuation=intense attraction based only or mostly on the physical aspects of the other person), I think Rose and Jack's relationship could be based on love, especially since Rose was depressed and vulnerable and their meeting was an intense emotional situation where they both would have learned a lot about each other and accepted their strengths and weaknesses.

There was also probably a long conversation that the movie viewer didn't see (before they started looking at the pictures of naked prostitutes) where they would have learned more about each other, making it possible that they actually could love each other. Also, they did make the long-term commitment to get off the boat together, although by most standards their physical relationship did go quite fast.

My aunt lives in New York near Woodstock, and she told me that, hearing from people who had been there, it was a culmination of a really difficult few days. Security was inadequate, and when the riots started, the undertrained security guards didn't have the knowledge to deal with it and didn't want to put themselves in a dangerous situation while trying to control it. Water was extremely expensive ($4), people were not allowed to bring in outside beverage containers and the ATMs ran out of money, so people were unable to buy water, anyway. She said at the beginning of the riots it was people taking what was necessary, and then people started destroying the beverage stands and looting the other stands.
