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.

This is slightly annoying
www.google.com
The links are set up to open in THIS tab, they should be opening a new tab in order for me to stay on this site and not have to click back, or get side-tracked. Just a suggestion, and as the title says, its just a slight annoyance, and i might be the only one who thinks so. Just tossing it out there...

Re: This is slightly annoying
Right click it in firefox and click "Open link in new tab". Should be the same thing with IE.

You are the one making a big deal about it, I was just stating that my laptop does not have a middle mouse button.

If you click both of the buttons on the touch pad at once, it acts like the middle mouse button.

You can bind an unused key to act as one. (right win, or context menu for example)
Problem, officer?

Re: This is slightly annoying
I forget to open it in a new tab all the time. But it's no big deal.
