Statting a teenager--skills needed and likely

IrishRover · 01-23-2010, 10:37 PM

I'm working up a 14 year old middle class student, and trying to put together a realistic set of "everyday life" skills. She's a clever girl (IQ 11) and a natural athlete (before weird things happen)

I see the following as likely skills.

Savoire Faire (teenagers) is probable; she doesn't run with the cool kids, but doesn't have to beat them up to get them to leave her alone.

Bicycling (transportation)

Running

Computer Operation, if the kid spends a lot of time on computers

Area Knowlege (local)

Current Affairs, either sports or Pop Culture

She's a boxer; that covers most of her athletic skills

What skills should she have after her freshman year in high school?
It seems that even one point in history or mathematics is just a bit much, likewise in any other classes such as bio or whatever science classes she's taking. Perhaps a language at Broken, or a point in a game or sport. I'm mainly after the academic skills that would merit a point--and likewise, what would a high school graduate merit.

(I did a search, but came up empty--my Search-Fu might be weak)
