RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.

How are you ever going to write anything portable, or anything that'll be able to run on most people's computers for more than a few years then?
When it takes so much time to develop a program you ought to consider these things...

Re: C++
Aside from the fact that Win7 comes with .net framework 3.5 installed, I amn't planning to stick with Microsoft for too long. I am thinking about Java or C++ for my next step.
Jesus backwards sounds like 'sausage'. =D

Re: C++
I suggest C++ as there's not much use for java other than small crap written only to be portable(and slow).
At least C++ is compiled, not interpreted.
Problem, officer?

Re: C++
It's good too but not as much supported. C++ is known since nearly 20 years, so getting a job as a programmer requires that one as a priority.

@ TrueAnarchist:
Learning C++ is easy,
Start by downloading an IDE & a compiler.
Ex -------> http://www.microsoft.com/express/product/default.aspx
The tradition for C++ is to do a "Hello, World!" first, before you do anything else.
Ex -------> http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/cpp/hworld.html
After that just look at some tutorials for awhile.
Ex -------> http://www.intap.net/~drw/cpp/
Ex -------> http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
Once you have a basic understanding of the flow of it, try making a Tic Tac Toe app or something, you won't know enough to finish it or make it look nice, but whenever you need to do something that you don't know, google how to do it and your programming skills will grow.
==================================================================*/
Noooooo, use Emacs!

I program C++. I am in my school's robotics club and we use C++ to program the robot.

RE: C++
necromance()
Hello, traveler.
This is an ancient account I have not used in a long time. My views have changed much in the intervening months and years.
Nonetheless, I refuse to clean it up. Pretending that I've held my current views since the beginning of time is what we in the industry call a lie. Asking people to do so contributes to moralistic self-loathing. "See, those people have nothing damning! I do! I'm truly vile!"
Because you can never be a good person with a single blemish on the moral record, I thought that simply entertaining some thoughts made me irredeemable. Though I don't care for his writing style, William Faulkner presents a good counterexample. He went from being a typical Southern racist to supporting the civil rights movement. These days we'd yell at him for that, probably.
People are allowed to change their views.
Nevertheless, this period of my life has informed some of how I am today. In good ways and bad ways. To purge it would be to do a disservice to history. Perhaps it will not make anyone sympathetic, but it may help someone understand.
If, after reading all this, you still decide to use the post above as evidence that I am evil today, ask yourself if you have never disagreed with the moral code you now follow. In all likelihood you did, at some point. If some questions are verboten, and the answer is "how dare you ask that," don't expect your ideological opponents to ever change their minds.

Eyy a robotician. I did robotics when I was in HS. Freshman and Sophmore year. After that the school administration decided it cost too much and parents weren't interested in funding us(not that the parents didn't have the cash. We had a decent number of middle class students.)
Good times though. Helluva lot of fun. It was the FIRST FRC competition or whatever. AFAIK my HS is now doing the smaller bots(which is, while probably educational, not as prestigious as the full blown large-size 100lb+ robobitc machines)
