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.

Google+
Fucking social networking. When will people learn? Corporations are NOT to be trusted with all of your personal information. No, not even google. It's creepy enough that google saves all of your search queries, but now this shit? I don't like it. I don't like facebook, I don't like myspace, and I won't like google+...
People need to realize that these sites are basically just information mining operations to get everyone's information to trade, and sell it around to different advertising corporations and governments. I mean, for fucks sake people, why do you need to tell everyone your daily schedule? What you like, and don't like, what you look like and all of that bullshit? Use some goddamn class and keep some things a secret.

Re: Google+
I don't care if corporations know that I like A over B, or even that they advertise to me based on that.
On topic: Google+ is shaping up to look really neat.

I fucking do. I fucking hate advertisements. If I need something, I'll buy it. And no, I don't want your goddamn slap chop. And I don't need to accidentally join a goddamn social networking site, either.

Use a different email service?
Don't use Google?
I don't care if Google has my Gmail stuff. The price I pay for free email.

Re: Google+
I encrypt my sensitive shit, but still. Why is that necessary? And every time I search porn, they're like, OH COOL, LET'S KEEP HIS SEARCH QUARRIES FOREVER.

Why is it that I can't get on that site? It says something about the domain or some shit.

I've heard Google Chrome also sends some personal information to Google... dunno about Chromium.

Lol, I'm using Chrome right now.
Also, ixquick, if I'm not mistaken, was the search engine Glenn Beck wanted everyone to use instead of Google.

Edit:
I made a thread about ixquick a while ago, lol. It's pretty cool. I'm using it instead of google these days. I'm too used to google, though... I like their search commands and what not. It's a damn shame they are so keen on recording your I.P, your quarries, the time you were on, and all of that shit. They should really only do that if someone signs up for a google account and opts-in...

I like google's philosophy but you can never be sure what their up to.
probably trying to provide quality products that will sell the best.
BUT THEN IT COULD BE A CONSPIRACY TO SLOWLY BRAINWASH US ALL TO BE MINDLESS WORKFORCE SLAVES WITH OUR NEW GOOGLE PRODUCTS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY GET US INTO A WAR WITH THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE WORLD THAT WILL END IN A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST THAT NEARLY WIPES US ALL OUT, EXCEPT SKYNE-I MEAN GOOGLE THEN THE MACHINES WILL TAKE OVER.

Re: Google+
You can use ixquick, but I find the searches much slower. Google has a better service BUT I HATE the fact that they record IP addresses.
Use Ghostery plus NoScript for extra privacy protection, it won't help much though in concealing your identity. If you want, use a VPN network, preferably an offshore one based in Ukraine, Russia or Sweden etc. Use the Tor network as well. Just make sure you don't log in to stuff like bank accounts on these networks as they have a possibility of one of the nodes peaking in.
When I was younger, I made a mistake on the internet, I put my full name on the internet and did all this stupid stuff. But now the information is gone since this was years ago, but still archived.
You're not as anonymous as you think. Every website you go to has been tracked. This is not some conspiracy theory, it's FACT. Everything you go on to has been tracked on the internet. Your ISP can see everything. Facebook can see all your messages and your password. Hotmail/Gmail etc can read all your emails. These internet sites know everything.
My plan in the future is to create a small ISP or a VPN network that DOES NOT RECORD ANY IP ADDRESSES. Of course I can't do this alone!

As do I. But, look at AOL. They accidentally released thousands of people's search quarries over the course of quite a long time. What if that happened to google? It'd be fucking embarrassing. That, and what if the government did get access to all of our searches, emails and other shit? I, for one, have a rather incriminating set of searches I use to get to certain information. I'd rather them just anonymize our shit from the get go and let the people who want better search quarries opt-in for it.
