School Tips
by cheerfulKiwi1776
Last post
 June 25th
...See more Hello all!Yeah this is a forum post for School Tips. Many of us struggle with school and whatever comes with it. Some famous topics people struggle with at school are: * Friends * Homework  * Exams * Bullying  * Low self-esteem So let's talk about them. Friends: Yeah many kids dont have friends or have some friendship problems. Maybe some behaviors of their friends bother them and they dont know how to express it.  Homework: Many kids dont feel like doing homework because of stress at home or other issues they might have. Some other might find it difficult for various reasons such as understanding issues and more Exams: Many students are stressed about exams and probably feel pressured for good marks to pass or maybe the approval of their parents. They are stressed about it and that impacts them negatively  Bullying: Unfortunately, there are many kids that suffer from bullying that make their lives worse and their want to go at school drops to none. Some feel alone as if they might have nobody to talk to, feel embarrassed or trapped and scared. Low self-esteem Many kids feel uncomfortable with how they look, compare themselves to others or try to be perfect. This post is here for all those kids that struggle from all those things I mentioned in school and the so many more struggles that I did not mention. Please feel free to share your story, give tips, support or just send me a text to talk about issues you are facing I believe in you and i m really proud for you for trying.  I wish everyone experience in school to be good. Take care and be safe  Thanks for reading✨️

Research Guide: Finding Resources
by GnomedBinary
Last post
 May 24th
...See more Thought this might be useful, but I'd like to share some tips and resources that helped me through high school and college. How to Access Academic Articles without Paying Publishers I'm sure you're aware by now, some articles or studies are hidden behind paywalls. If you need to access these documents for research - always remember that these paywalls never benefit the actual author as publishers take a large percentage of the profit. What I learned is that if you reach out to these authors via email letting them know you're a student, specifying what article you need and what you're gonna use it for - they will likely send you their copy of the article free of charge. Alternative Site for Bibliography Annotations If you're a student, bibliographies become a normal part of your routine. And I'm sure you're aware that the most common sites professors/teachers will refer are littered with ads and often limit you on how many citations you can generate at a time, so I'd like to share a resource I found that allows you to create free annotations - requiring no account to use. https://www.mybib.com/ [https://www.mybib.com/] Mybib is completely free, ad free - requires no account or sign-in and lets you create unlimited citations with no restrictions. Best Place to Find Articles Finding reliable sources of information is difficult in these past few years, especially with the rise of AI slop burying human generated content. So I'd like to draw attention to a few databases that I hope more people will choose to rely on more. https://scholar.google.com/ Google scholar is a global database dedicated to providing a search engine specifically for studies. https://archive.org/ The Internet archive is a community project dedicated to the preservation of digital media, it is a great tool for finding historical references on the internet that has been lost to time. Autocorrect and Essay Tool English is a hard language to learn and sometimes write for, and existing autocorrect and dictionary tools are outdated and not very useful. One tool that helped me through school was Grammarly, a free browser add-on available on all platforms. Grammarly while it uses AI, it is not generative and will not write content for you - instead it will suggest edits based on what you've written. Its dictionary is based on the Internet and user input and will update the more you use it. While Grammarly is free to use, it does offer an optional premium subscription giving you access to more advanced tools (but is completely optional). https://www.grammarly.com/

Following The Path

 April 9th
...See more Pre-school was when I was the most of afraid of being notice by anyone. Elementary was when I got courage to invite my classmate to be my groupmate and we've become friends until now. Highschool was when the most chaotic and memorable times of my life. Senior highschool was my eye opener and when I realized what matters the most. Now College, it's the last step. "The future is not us to see." They say. I would like to close my eyes and imagine what i wanted to become in next 4 years. I would be more wiser. I would be more independent. I would be more kinder. I would be more peaceful. I would be more happier. It's not impossible because what i have at the moment is my youth, the perfect time to have fun, make mistakes and learn along the way. 4 years is short but i want to make it more memorable. "I won't fail." — Not because i am confident. This is my promise to the stars and to those people who wish me the best. I posted 3 times here in this app and this is probably gonna be my last time. Hopefully i would update this thread when my wish was heard. "May my wish be blown by the wind and spread it around the world. I also hope it reaches the heaven."

...See more School can get really overwhelming sometimes, especially when you have a lot of assignments, tests, and other responsibilities at the same time. If you’re feeling stressed right now, try to take things one step at a time instead of thinking about everything at once. Even small progress is still progress.
