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.

Today I found out that according to my sister's British friends on Skype, I sound like Snape from Harry Potter.
Also, I had a conversation about gays with my dad's wife, her daughter, and my dad that was quite interesting.

Re: Generic Blog Thread
I got back from a doctor's appointment. Everything went OK until the doctor tried to take a look at my junk. I grabbed his wrist and told him to go to hell (not actually, but in a nutshell what I said would be interpreted as that).
I then found out I'm infected with hepatitis B. Because I got a shot for it. :troll:
Then I went out to breakfast at Loafer's and stopped at K-Mart to look for a new pair of boots. I didn't find any good ones, but did find another one of those Russian-style hats with the earflaps so my sister will stop using mine all the time.

Just finished having a makeshift dinner of challah bread, lunchmeat ham, and corn. I then took a fairly large crap. It had quite a few intact pieces of corn in it. Methinks I got bad corn.

Got a bit of a stomach virus. Haven't had anything but a sip of water all day. Penguins are kicking some ass. I'm gonna have to take a rather unpleasant crap, I just don't know when.

Stomach virus has mostly passed. Took a walk about three hours ago, temperature was fairly nice. Took said unpleasant crap at about 2 AM. Feelin' pretty good overall, though I do have both classes today.

Re: Generic Blog Thread
Earlier today when I was at my dad's I took a crap, only to find out that whoever had been in the bathroom prior had used the last of the toilet paper and not put out a fresh roll. Good thing there were some furniture-polishing wipes in the bathroom, I was still able to wipe my ass.

Re: Generic Blog Thread
On Saturday, my dad talked to me about SS and how it's "a bad influence" and whatnot, and told me he had basically been snooping on my computer account over at his place. I'm trying to decide whether to delete my account, delete his account, use private browsing exclusively and put a new password in and delete what few files I have on my account over there, put a password on his account, not tell him, and only tell him what it is after I have his word that he will never look at my shit ever again (though I just know that he'll still look at it, he's a two-faced prick after all), bump his account down to standard, or activate the master admin account or whatever it is and fuck his shit up.
How he looked at my account in the first place I don't know, I have a password on my account that I know he doesn't know, am an admin, and always log out of my account if I have to leave the computer. Either way, I'm doing something different on the computer over there.

When I woke up about 30 mins ago I hadn't eaten in about 24 hours, and I was fucking shaking. A cinnamon roll and fried ham with eggs are a godsend.

Just now when I was watching the Stanley Cup Final I misread an ad for "Ferries" as "Furries".

I forgot how I loved taking walks in the dead of night. Also, howling at a full moon: Not my sanest, smartest, or most confident moment, but it was still fun as hell for some reason.

The dead of night? How do you sneak out?
Also, stomach bugs suck ass. My mother had gastro two weeks ago and had to go to hospital because she couldn't keep her fluids down. Then we found out her kidneys weren't functioning. Yippee.

Back door FTW. I woke up around 4 PM yesterday anyway, so my mom was pretty lenient about my pulling an all-nighter, and the basement is nice and cool, so I just chill down here (there). Coincidentally, which is the same floor the back door is on.

Re: Generic Blog Thread
Yep. The Burgh has furries, catholics, and the fucking President, all in the same weekend. I kinda hate to say "Now I've truly seen it all" for the third time this month, but I dunno what else to say.
Also, it turns out. Furries! They're just like us. In that, on the local news I saw a guy in a wolf suit or some shit wearing a Canada Eh hockey shirt along with maple leaf-patterned PJ bottoms and that's it. And I don't know where I'm going with this. But fuck you anyway.

RE: Generic Blog Thread
Okay, so in the STALKER mod LURK v1.1, there's the H&K G3 battle rifle. I got it into my head to try porting it from LURK to the mod Complete 2009. Complete just pimps out the vanilla game, unlike LURK which makes it almost infuriatingly difficult. Anyway. I moved the meshes (models), texture, sounds, and config to the Complete folder, adjusting the config file when necessary (a lot). Several crashes later, I ironed out the literal game-breaking bugs. Unfortunately, whenever I would fire it at someone, it would do nothing. I might as well have been firing blanks. Much swearing and gnashing of teeth later, I found out that the fire_distance was set to 1. In other words, I would have had to literally stick the muzzle in someone's face to actually hit them.
Changed it to 1000, and now all that remains is the inventory icon. White Wolf said that I'd have to go poking around a bunch of scripts or something, and it ain't like adjusting a couple lines of a config. Worst-case scenario - I have to live with no icon, best-case - well, I get it.
TL; DR: I ported a badass weapon to STALKER, which I'm actually really proud of. YESH! YESH!
