ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING IRL INFORMATION -- IMPORTANT!!

203 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!

Rant Make this make sense

Upvotes

I'm theatre kid, so when my school did Mean Girls of course I joined. One thing you need to know is that any play/muscials have to go thur the principal first, she apporved of it (this is important). If you don't know Mean Girls regardless of high school or not, there is vulger words. party scenes, and even topics of more mature side. We where fine cussing, doing these scene for almost three months, and even 2 shows, but closing night it wasn't fine. She was there, and took many of the teachers words for saying "bad" words that were fine for the entire three months.

So its closing night, its half way through the show, we all told stay in the green room, okay is there anything go on bad out there? No we get told stop cussing because she "never" approved it and there was too "many kids" (there was maybe 15 out of 250) She never read over the script, never been to one rehearsal, and now you want us to change us cussing last minute. We still had to do it even tho mutiple lines and almost one song was messed up due to her, not to mention many actors where crying on stage because of this, durning scenes that should have had crying because of her. I went crying to my mother after this because I was so mad I started to cry. Lets say World burn hit harder due us being all mad.

After this she clammed she never approved of it and nevered read the script, and didn't know that there was so much cussing and vulgar words (the world tampon was vulgar...)

So if you ever how to make a bunch theatre kids hate you, you tell them to change a show last show and last act. Lets just all of the theatre deparment hates her.

Dating Advice Needed/Given Should men always pay for dates?

Upvotes

Should even teenage boys be paying for their first dates? As a 17 F, on all the dates I've been on, the guys have paid, whether we're dating or not, even when the restaurant is expensive.

I also know that the media portrays this idea that the guy would always have to pay for the date, but I always thought that was for adults who have stable jobs.

I'm curious what everyone's stance is on this, because some of my friends say it is the bare minimum to pay for food, even in high school.

What do you guys think?

Extracurriculars Anyone interested in research?

1 Upvotes

Heyy guys! I'm starting a is a student-led science communication project where we break down real medical research, health topics, and the science behind the medical terms, diseases and much more in language that actually makes sense.

No gatekeeping. Just curious students turning complex science into stories anyone can understand.

Let's make it a growing team. Each week, we'll be publishing articles written and researched by student writers, covering everything from brain health to everyday medical myths.

If you've ever wanted to write about science, break into research, or just learn how the human body actually works let's work together!!.

Extracurriculars Looking for student volunteers to take part in a student-led summer incubator program

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m a high school student currently working on founding an initiative focused on providing technical literacy opportunities to students from low-income households.

The goal of this program is to introduce students to programming, web development, and technology through a structured, beginner-friendly curriculum. We want to help students build confidence with technology, create their own projects, and develop the mindset of builders and problem-solvers.

We are currently working on partnering with an NGO to help connect with students and make this program accessible to those who would benefit from it most.

As we develop the program, we are looking for passionate students who would be interested in volunteering as tutors and mentors. You do not need to be an expert. We are looking for people who enjoy teaching, explaining concepts, and helping others learn.

Volunteers would help with areas such as:

  • Teaching programming fundamentals
  • Helping students build small projects
  • Supporting learners during sessions
  • Sharing their own experiences with technology and learning

This is a great opportunity for students interested in computer science, education, entrepreneurship, or simply creating a positive impact in their communities.

If you’re interested in contributing or would like to learn more, feel free to reach out!

Question Will I be rejected from colleges if I choose AP over IB,

0 Upvotes

I live in the US and my school offers both the IB diploma and many AP courses. Not a lot of kids at my school earn the ib diploma, and even if I do I’m worried because it’s not as readily accepted in the US. I’d rather take AP and personalize the courses to my college interests, but I’m worried that colleges will reject me because it might look like it took the “easier” option ( I know it’s still very difficult ). Will I be at a disadvantage in college apps if I take AP instead of the IB diploma when my school offers both

Dating Advice Needed/Given Getting random social media adds and people from my past?

0 Upvotes

Okay, this has been bugging me for the past few days and I need to get it off my chest + get some outside opinions.

About a week ago I was at a conference and two Snapchat accounts with the exact same Bitmoji added me. I thought it was weird so I ignored both and didn’t add them back I just let it sit there.

A few days after I got home (around last Wednesday/Thursday), one of them re-added me and it popped up at the top of my friends list. I got suspicious and added both back at the same time. Hours later I got “Hy” messages from both accounts. I didn’t reply to either and immediately unadded them.

Now today I check my requests and the same account added me again. Plus a brand new account with the display name “why” also added me. Tried to add the “why” account back and it said it was deactivated. Could be a person or a bot, i’m very unsure.

Separately but around the same time: Before my past partner and I broke up, he and his best friend shared a gaming account that followed me on TT. While I was at the conference I had my profile views turned off for a couple days and finally decided to just turn them on. that same shared gaming account viewed my profile. They didn’t unfollow or remove me as a follower. And i lowkey thought that was weird

I’m not 100% saying it’s my ex or his friend… but IDK! Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Is this normal spam or does it sound like someone is trying to mess with me. Any advice on what to do? I am still in highschool btw so PLS don’t butcher me in the replies
