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.

I've been playing Unturned for a bit, and the game is rather difficult on the default setting(which is Normal), at least for me. If you don't know what Unturned is look in the Hidden tags below.
Hidden stuff:
Unturned is a Free to Play Zombie Survival game made by a 16 year old. It is available on Steam and isn't a very large download. You can buy gold, but it doesn't offer much, except for more faces, access to gold servers(which gives you a gold outfit, and on a gold world you do start out with a few things on Gold worlds/servers. Although you don't have to buy it). The game itself is in Alpha and is getting updates, usually an update occurs at least once every day.
Here is a simple list of tips and things you should and shouldn't to.
Things you should do:
Increase your skills, especially the Marksman, Survival, and Warrior skills at the most priority, with second priority's being crafting and endurance
Find a Katana as this weapon is great against Zombies, although a Golf Club is the next best and the machete third and any other knife last.
Get a backpack as soon as you can, these increase your inventory slots.
Get a canteen as soon as you can, this is so you won't die from thirst
Things you shouldn't do:
Don't try and punch Zombies out, you will die more than likely, if you must train them and punch then slowly
Don't use guns a lot, you will run out of ammo and you may eventually have a horde on you.
Don't Horde everything you get
Don't Log out if you die, if you do log out all your items will be lost as the dropped items reset upon world exit, so try and collect any dropped items you want to have still upon logging out
General Tips and Information:
The Axe, Fire axe, Chainsaw, and pickaxe are used for gathering material.
Pocket Knives and Handsaws are used for crafting so get these when you get a chance
If you hit the head you will do more damage then if you hit elsewhere
When you have your fists Left and Right click control the two different hands
When you have a gun Right Click(on a traditional set-up) will allow you to Aim Down Sights and left click shoots.
If you are using a melee weapon left click is normal attack and the right click is a powered attack however that attack does use energy.
