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.

Apple being Apple

This is straight from their announcement today for the new ipad:


Quote:[Image: 63640817-7437-4285-8fb6-829f804a40c6.jpg]

"Users with a gaming console and portable console said the iPad was their favorite for gaming."

I almost spat out my drink. I'm sorry my bullshit detector just broke.


Quote:"They help you create and learn, or do almost anything."
*

*That Apple wants you to. In this case, anything = angry birds.
Once again Apple pretending that the Ipad is worth the money.

Quote:"Ipad is the poster child of the post-PC world"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA "POST-PC" OH GOD THATS TOO GOOD HAHAHAHA yeahno I don't think so


Quote:Okay, video demo now. "We believe technology is at its very best when it's invisible. When you're conscious only of what you're doing, not the device you're doing it with... It's just this magical pane of glass."

Lol. I bet Apple fans are stupid enough to actually think it's a magical pane of glass.

They're glad people don't know the guts of the device they're working with, because anyone with any knowledge in the area of technology will know better devices than the newest ipad will be out by the year's end.

I'm buying one, only so I can re-sell it on Ebay when the inevitable outage hits and get a nice profit from some apple drone who can't live without one.

People picking apple over consoles is bullshit but the app store is the biggest distributor of games on the planet. They out sell both consoles and PC.
