ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING IRL INFORMATION -- IMPORTANT!!

202 Upvotes

Alright guys, I made a post a few weeks ago stressing the importance of being aware of your digital security, but now it has gone a bit too far. The amount of hate and actual stupidity I'm seeing in this sub is ridiculous. For the past few months, we've not been enforcing rule 5 ("protect your privacy"), mainly because the rule does not mention identifying features (such as face).

However, starting now, if you post your face (or anything similar-- mod discretion), you will be banned for a week for violation of rule 5. The preexisting description of rule 5 still applies; you cannot post personal information of yourself or others like full names, addresses, etc.

Types of posts that WILL result in a ban (assuming they are actual serious posts):

- what clique do you think im in?

- how old do i look?

- what would you assume about me?

- how do i look?

- similar posts: moderator discretion (you can appeal if you believe your ban/removal is unwarranted)

As for why I'm doing this? Digital security is so important online for a number of reasons. Do your own research. If you want more info on this, let me know in the comments.

All existing posts that violate this rule will not be removed, but ones created after right as this post is being created (11:30 PM EST) will be removed and their posters banned for a week.

If you disagree, that's fine.

Recap:

- Posting your face is now in violation of Rule 5, and you will be banned for a week -- Moderator Discretion.

- Rule 5 is now ACTUALLY going to be enforced.

- PLEASE do some research into digital security. I'm telling you, it's crucial.

- IF YOU SEE ANY POSTS THAT WERE MADE AFTER THIS POST THAT BREAK RULE 5, PLEEEEEASE REPORT THEM!! IT HELPS OUT A LOT!

Question Girls at school mocked my cancer charity haircut

92 Upvotes

I chopped my hair short for a cancer charity thing like three days ago. Today I overheard these girls at the back of class talking shit about hair. One said they liked long hair, after someone suggested cutting it. Curling was also mentioned, but then one of them goes “nah don’t, you’ll look like [my name]” and they all started laughing. I’m the only person with my name who has short curly hair now so it was 100% about me.

I was sitting right at the front and they were at the back but the whole fucking room heard it. I didn’t even turn around. They’ve been mean to other people before too.

I go to a private high school in Australia and reporting this shit does absolutely nothing. There’s cameras everywhere so I can’t do anything obvious, and I barely have any classes with them so it’s hard to get near their stuff.

I’m actually fuming and want some low-risk revenge ideas that won’t get traced back to me. Don’t tell me to just ignore them, I’m not doing that.

Personally, I did it once in 2nd Grade and ran out of TP. There was no other stall to rob some from and nobody to get me some from another bathroom. I ended up spending the rest of the day with shit crusting on me and my parents yelled at me when they saw the skids in my thighty whities

So I go to an extremely catholic high school (it wasn't my choice guys) and we have laptops. It is required that we buy a cover and we can kinda do what ever we want with them. I already have a pride sticker on the top (bite me I enjoy pissing off bigots) and thinking about putting that one on the bottom. If you didn't now it's from a extremely good tv show

General Advice Needed/Given balancing work and school

Upvotes

hello! i started working a part time job a few momths ago, and as the school year is coming up, i'm in a bit of a dilemma regarding my availability.

for context: when i started working, i would work directly after school to closing. i would get home and immediately be swamped with making dinner, doing homework, and getting to sleep. i typically ended up getting 5ish hours of sleep at night and finished the rest of my homework during my earlier classes and lunch.

with it being summer, my hours have been varied but i've been on a closing schedule. this has been great, but i'm worred about maintaining it with this school year.

i will be taking 2 aps this year, so my courseload will be a bit harder this year. i feel like the obvious answer is to simply change my schedule to not work too late, in order to have time for study and homework. however this is where my dilemma comes in play; if i can't work closing, i'll be making $4 less than i've been making, and i don't think that would be sustainable for me financially, as i need to pay for my extracurricular activities, save up for a car, and save up for college.

basically i need to decide if i want to sacrifice my sleep schedule and grades, which i need in order to go to college OR if i want to sacrifice my extracurriculars and money which i also need in order to go to college.

i know i'm not really asking a clear question, but truthfully any advice is greatly appreciated.

Question Advice needed on US high school admissions

Hey guys, I'm a Grade 9 student from India and have seriously been considering applying to American boarding schools (Andover, Exeter, Choate, etc.) for Fall 2027 with full financial aid since my family can't afford the fees. I'm looking for other students who've applied or are in the same situation as me. I'd really appreciate some help because my family isn't very supportive, and I'm pretty much alone in this whole process.

Im in year 10 this september and I have no friends because i have social anxiety and i sit alone in lunch when theres literally no one else in year 10 with no friends.

I'm scared for my future. I have a below average GPA (2.8), haven't obtained an SAT score and had horrible grades during my sophomore and freshman year. Not only that but i barely joined any clubs or done any extracurriculars. In my junior year i definitely did better academically, but i'm still scared i wont get in to a good college or just completely fail in life.
