High school students: survey on short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) and attention span + academic performance (Students) (Teenagers)

Hey! I’m doing a short anonymous school research survey on how short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) affects attention span and study habits in students.

It takes less than 5 mins so I would really appreciate your response so much 🙏

I got tired of the messy formatting when copying text from PDFs, so I built a free minimalist toolkit to fix it. Need your workflow feedback!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some honest feedback from students, researchers, copywriters, and anyone else who deals with messy documents on a daily basis.

Whenever I copy text from a PDF, it always breaks. It brings along annoying fixed line breaks, weird double spaces, and broken formatting that ruins my flow. For a long time, my own workaround was pasting it into Notepad, manually deleting breaks, or asking ChatGPT to "clean this text" every single time.

I got tired of the friction, so I decided to build a completely free, minimalist web app to solve my own problem instantly:

toolkittext.com

It strips out line breaks, cleans up spaces, and fixes the formatting in one click. No signups, no ads, no limits, just pure utility.

But here is my question for the community: Is a dedicated, single-purpose tool like this actually useful in your daily productivity workflow, or have you already found a better workaround? How do you personally handle formatting nightmare documents?

Would love to hear your thoughts, critique, or features you think are missing!

Hope to hear from you

Has anyone actually improved at Physics through visualization-based teaching? 😭

Saw this while scrolling.

The approach looked different from normal problem solving, especially for Irodov-level questions.

Curious if these methods genuinely help in Advanced prep or if nothing beats brute-force practice.

How do students actually escape phone addiction?

I’m a student and honestly my phone usage is getting out of control.

I open my phone for “5 minutes” and suddenly 2–3 hours are gone on reels, YouTube or random scrolling.

The worst part is I KNOW I’m wasting time but still repeat the same cycle daily.

Need realistic advice, not just “delete apps” 😭

I have created a fully free super cool PDF Editor

No account or anything. Client-side. Totally free and best of all: it looks cool

https://katanapdf.com/

I have tried to introduce all the features that I could think of. I've spent a look time tinkering to make sure it looked good and without bugs, but obviously there can still be some.

I hope that someone will find it useful and use it!

PS. I have designed a different version for mobile. It still works but obviously on desktop is way better, so for big changes I recommend desktop.

do i report for cheating.

hey guys, im conflicted. my friend/acquaintance since middle school has always been known to be lacking in academics. however, the school i go to is an ap curriculum focused meaning we are forced to take at least 6 aps a year. anywho, my friend has been actively cheating throughout the year and ruined each curve. i didnt really mind it, the cheating, until i saw them actively cheating on the actual ap lang/apes/ and who knows what other ap exam. i cant stand knowing this and not doing anything about it because it genuinely ruins the curve and score. should i report this behaviour and ruin their chance of idk everything, or mind my own damn business.

Enough is enough, Students from Delhi we need you now!

Moderators please pin this.

📍 Protest Tomorrow — 21 May, 1:00 PM

Location: CBSE Head Office, Sector 23,Dwarka, Delhi

First they introduced this whole On Screen Marking (OSM) system and now they are busy marketing only the “good sides” of OSM to hide their own failure.

In the first re-evaluation notice, they even mentioned high fees while also warning that marks can be reduced. Dhaamki kisko deh rahe hai ye log?

And after the protests and backlash they received, they suddenly changed the re-evaluation prices. But dude, what even is this re-evaluation website? Since yesterday it has barely been working.

If a central education board cannot even handle login and registration traffic properly for re-evaluation, then how are students supposed to trust that they handled OSM properly?

🚨URGENT🚨 CBSE should allow improvement exams for 2 subjects, not just 1

A huge number of students scored below 75% this year and for many of us that one percentage barrier affects college admissions scholarships placements and future opportunities

Right now CBSE is allowing improvement in only 1 subject

But honestly for a lot of students improving just 1 subject is not enough to cross the 75% criteria

A student sitting at 70–73% cannot realistically cross 75% with only one improvement exam in many cases

We are not asking for free marks

We are asking for another fair chance through exams

Allowing improvement in 2 subjects would help thousands of students who are willing to work hard but are stuck because of a small percentage gap

A lot of students are stressed right now and feeling helpless about their future because of this rule

This demand is reasonable and it affects thousands of students across the country

If you agree then please raise your voice online and include this demand wherever student protests and discussions are happening

If enough students speak together maybe something can actually change

Raise your voices students

It's our time , it's our future , it's our life we are fighting for

anyone tried getsolved for assignments?

Has anyone here actually used tools like an ai content detector or ai humanizer for writing? Lately I’ve been dealing with a ton of writing tasks (essays, short reports, random drafts), and the hardest part isn’t even the ideas - it’s making everything sound clear, natural, and not messy. Sometimes I write something and it technically makes sense, but the structure feels off, or the wording just sounds awkward. Other times I’m not even sure how “original” or human it sounds anymore, especially with how common AI tools are now. I started looking into different ai tools for improving clarity, rewriting, and structuring content. Tried a few random ones, but most of them either oversimplify things or just rewrite text in a weird robotic way. Then I came across getsolved ai kinda randomly and tested it on a couple drafts. What stood out: it was actually good at rewriting without completely changing the meaning helped clean up structure and make things more readable felt more consistent compared to typical AI tools I wouldn’t call it a full ai humanizer or detector replacement, but as a tool for improving clarity and getting a solid draft, it worked better than I expected. Curious if anyone else is using tools like this not for full assignments, but just to improve writing quality?

I bombed my math exam...the whole class did

I had a math exam that started at 2pm and ended at 5pm (so a 3 hr exam). I spent over 20 minutes on the first page (only 6 qxns, I skipped 2 cuz i didnt get the answer 😭). I was furiously scribbling down calculations as if that would save my grades.

At some point the examinor got out for a phonecall and group discussion started. Names were whispered and papers were thrown. The teacher came back again. Silence. Soon after he got out for another phonecall. At some point, a classmate gave out an audible chuckle and the rest of the class followed. After a while, i just started laughing. A silent laugh with a shaking body and a desperation to not make a sound. It happened TWICE.

We all trauma bonded after the exam (like usual). I honestly dont know whether i should cry or laugh. When i remembed this incident after i got home, i straight up started laughing till i teared up. Not really sure if its tear of laughter or tear of pure devastation. I think ive lost the line between those two after spending 3 of my highschool years laughing over exam trauma with my friends.
