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.

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.
The lent season means to sacrifice or to give up something that you don't really need.
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.
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.
Unless you are talking about a very high order of awareness and spirituality, the answer is no. More than likely the questioner is being a little tongue-in-cheek. Giving up Lent for Lent would clearly not be in keeping with the spirit of the season.
it depends on their rite. but usually, the catholic church gives ashes at lent.
