One of the reasons why so many movies and televisions shows are set in high school is because, to varying degrees, the high school experience leaves an indelible mark on all of us. Our first experiences with sexual rejection, social politicking, and your own purpose in a greater society - these are difficult concepts which frustrated many of us when we were teenagers. And then, as we learned from school-survival.net, these can also be concepts some of us never grasped, and never could manage to get over. This week, The F Plus wants you to lose weight for school pictures.

The podcast app is not showing a new episode and the link to iTunes on thefpl.us is saying it is invalid. Anyone else having trouble?

I'm looking at it right now in the iTunes store, and it's all set up right in the RSS feed. Fix yer iTunes, dog.

I went into the itunes store and manged to download it. I think its just the podcast app's latest update broke everything. Its showing the date as Dec 31 2000 on mobile and correctly on my desktop. A few other podcasts are also screwed up similarly so I guess this is the last apple product i'll buy.

Mandelbrot Fedora is totally the name of my polk-funk band. We play polkas with a lot of synthesizer and Mighty Boosh-esque costumes.

I lost my shit at the Flynn/Lumpy Space Princess crossover. If I had a modicum of drawing talent I would attempt to illustrate that, because it was beautiful.

I was pretty delinquent at secondary school and at one point I started faking reports and homework records using stolen stationary. It was quite an elaborate edifice but inevitably after six months it all came crashing down and I earned a month of detention and a stereo bollocking from my parents.

One of the cathartic things about growing up is understanding that while your younger self deserved an ass kicking for their dumb antics, the fact that you realize this is evidence that the world has already knocked you into shape. Every time I dwell on the mistakes I made in the past I try and be comforted that in my case at least justice has been served.

Well and also that even in retrospect it might not have been a mistake. I skipped a lot of school in softmore year, and more often than not I ended up doing things that were more intellectually stimulating and productive than school was at the time, so I think even though there were downsides I don't regret skipping all that school. I do regret taking about half the drugs I took during that time.

Episodes like these bring smiles to my face because the exhibits are funny without being too heavy or too disgusting. The humor is in the ridiculousness of it and the understanding of what's fueling it.

Much like the general teenager one from quite some time ago, I can see this being one I revisit quite a bit for exactly those reasons. Also the Flynn/LSP voice.

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.

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.
