It is not a sin to not to give up anything but if you do not think the relevance of the passion of Christ maybe it is a sin.
You should give up anything that you love.Cherry Bakewells
Except for meat on Fridays and Ash Wednesday (14 and older) you are not required to give up anything during Lent. It is just a suggestion.

Nothing.
Lent is celebrated differently by everyone. Usually you will give up something for lent or take up some form of betterment.
You don't really have to prepare for Lent. I guess, in order to prepare for Lent you could start thinking about what you want to give up for Lent.
Yes, you may touch meat. Abstinence is the penance required and is not specific except on Good Friday for many Christians. No eating of meat if that is what you "give up" for lent. Butchers must work through lent, hard to do if they were not able to touch meat. Many people give up other things other than meat. Meat is not a staple food for many cultures. It is the spirit of the penance that makes it valid.
The lent season means to sacrifice or to give up something that you don't really need.
Lent is a time of year in the Catholic church, prior to Easter, when you are supposed to give up something you like for 40 days. Giving up Facebook for lent is probably a joke.
Only if you want bad grades.
Lent starts on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter sunday. To participate in Lent in the Catholic religion, you have to fast, or give up, meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday until Easter Sunday. Also, if you are not a small child, you have to give up something additional. You have to give up something that could harm you or be bad for anyone in some way. For example, you could give up TV or video games. i am giving up meat for the whole lent instead of just fridays. i am also going to stop gossiping because it could hurt others. Lent in Christianity means giving up dairy for the whole lent i think. Im not sure about Christianinity because i am not Christian, but i am positive for Catholicism.
it depends on their rite. but usually, the catholic church gives ashes at lent.
