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.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.

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.

THE PC IS DYING, THE IPAD WILL REPLACE IT

I was reading seeking alpha, and some of these comments made me rage a little.

http://seekingalpha.com/article/193142- ... urce=email

Quote:The PC is finally dying. In 3 years no one will buy a full OS laptop or desktop except Photoshop/autocad/other workstation needs and developers actually making iapps/android/javascript for these things. Who wants to backup, virus scan, or deal with the BS that it takes to run windows or mac os? The level of crap you need to deal with is so high on windows that its just simpler for most people to buy a new $500 laptop than it is to get the software running right on the old one.

Hah...

This.

Also, you're a fucking moron if you can't use windows. It's so user-friendly at this point, I don't understand what's not to understand about windows.

Re: THE PC IS DYING, THE IPAD WILL REPLACE IT

Those comments are fucking hilarious. It's truly funny to see that some people actually think the iPad is that good.

At that point, it's a matter of being unfamiliar with technology. Generation X and beyond is growing up with computers. From now on, many more people are going to be tech-savvy, so this issue of user-friendliness and "it just works" is going to slowly die.

Some guy said that Apple will make an iPad with a 17" screen and it'll be the best-selling thing in electronics since the television.

I laughed my ass off.

The iPad will be a load of crap anyway. Nothing new... apart from a few elements from other gadgets stuck into one.

Why does everyone love this thing? It's like an awkward sized cross between a laptop and cellphone that can't do as much as a computer can. It's retarded.
