Should a 16 year old Canadian girl visiting Italy feel pressured to have sex?
Well i'm planning on doing a student exchange to Italy and I keep hearing how obsessed with women the men are. I'm just afraid because i'm going to be 15 when I leave but I look a lot older, should I be worried if I date?

Are there any Iowa or national grants or scholarships that I can apply for to student teach abroad?
Are there any Iowa or national grants or scholarships that I can apply for to student teach abroad?
My Iowa tuition grant expired because I am in my fifth year. I was planning to student teach in Italy in the spring semester but was not expecting to have to pay an extra $5,000 for tuition in the fall. I am from a single parent family and can't afford this extra cost, can anyone please help me? I've looked at fastweb and have done google searches, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Apply to the education department in Iowa. In your fifth year, it's time you went out and got a job to pay for your "eternal" studies. And after 4 plus years of education, quit using your mother's unmarried status as an excuse.

May I suggest YFU (Youth For Understanding)? I am a 5-time host mom and volunteer with. When I have asked exchange students why they chose YFU, I get the following answers: (1) YFU gave them more bang for their buck and/or (2) someone they knew and trusted recommended YFU. 95% of the fees collected by YFU go for direct program costs (airline tickets, support in hosting country, etc.). YFU has been around for 59 years and has learned how to make exchanges successful. The main website has a ton of information! This year they have programs to Japan but not Italy. I know they have had programs to Italy in the past, so they may be re-instated - I don't know. Which ever program you choose, make sure they are listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. Note: you will need to be 15 before you can go. Being an exchange student requires a certain level of maturity that people under 15 usually don't have. The process would be (more or less) as follows: a) Gather info and talk to your parents, teachers, and school counselor. b) Apply for the program and/or a scholarship. (Online, over the phone, by fax or mail, etc.) You will need to choose your country and length of stay. (YFU offers programs to 39 countries this year, only 9 of which require that you study it's language before you go.) c) After the organization reviews your file, participate in an in-person interview. This is to make sure you were honest and accurate on your application and to make sure you're placed with the appropriate host family. d) Pay for the program. e) After you get a host family, correspond with them. (Not officially required, just something I think is an extremely good idea.) f) Go and work hard and enjoy. g) Come home and share your experience. The cost depends on where you go and for how long. Summer programs will generally be $6500 to $8000. Semester and year programs will be $8000 to $11000. The largest costs are getting you there and back and training the volunteers that you'll be relying upon when your there. These costs don't change much if you're there for a summer versus a year. Check out the website - it should answer most (if not all) of your questions (even ones you haven't thought of yet). Good luck to you no matter what you choose.

well what country are you from (if not America) IM from Australia and am going on exchange later in the year Steps: 1. Choose a Program, if you are in a Australia then some good ones are 'Southern Cross Cultural Exchange' (The one i'm using) or AFS 2. Depending on were your going and how long it should vary, but it should be anything between 7,000 and 11,000. Often the length of the program your using does not effect the cost as the cost is mainly for tickets 3. Regarding that you choose a proper well known organization it is very safe. You should have a overseas coordinator and each member of you host family will have been thoroughly screened and background checked. If there are any issues between you and your host family then often the program is quick to find you a replacement one. 4. Like i said i am leaving in about 2 months for America and i'm staying for 5 months. I have started a vlog on Youtube following my time in America and you can watch it here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo53ayYAp9s you can leave any comments or contact me with any questions at anytime i am greatly looking forwards to it and it should be one of the greatest experiences of my life, i strongly suggest looking into it Any additional information you might need to know: As far as I know you can be involved from ages 14-18 (this will depend on you organization) They send you to almost all the countries in the world (this will depend on your organzation) The application program can often be long So this is all that I can think to tell you at the moment, however keep in mind that this only applies to the Australian organizations and im not sure what it is like for other countries Iook into it as it should be an amazing experience and definatly not one to be forgotten. Keep watching my Vlog and contact em with any questions >_< Good Luck
