and we use it more as you than Mr. It's just a male being generalized as you. i forgot to mention. Instead of saying a man's name it is used 君 . but it is very impolite >.<.

yes the person who answered is right. 君 is not for girls. We use that as a prefix like the english Mr. but it is not used often.

Your sentence is correct. You said "during class Ben seemed bored"
With the comment that Pokemon made, they made good suggestions. I would go with Benさんはつまらなそうな人だ which is the first thing they said. When they say Benさんは退屈そうな人だ they are saying ben is bored. So either go with their first suggestion or stick with what you had (:

It sometimes can be used like that, I'm sure in england it is in common. I lived in America for a bit though and when someone ask "things really moving?" it means are things going successful for you.

ように has a few meaning but in japan we use it a lot to mean as though. Kind like "He pretended as though he didn't hear me".
