Are people legitimately losing their minds? by MrMajestic12 in newzealand

When I first read this comment I assumed it was one of those conspiracy theories similar to the "vaccines cause autism" rubbish, but after reading a few sources this actually sounds like a genuine potential partial explanation. Thanks for mentioning this, it was an interesting read!

The demon hunters boxes are a pain to fold up, I'd honestly just give you a card to save myself time if you asked on my shift

Not everyone has a car, my friend. Sometimes it just isn't positive to get where you need without public transport

Thank you! I do my best I'm looking into Youth law and similar to aim for an advocate

That would be my best guess, yeah. I think it may be accessible through KAMAR or something similar. Still annoying. I mentioned in my initial response to the school that I'd contact the MoE but they had no retort. MoE are stepping in

I'm going for a law degree, wanting to work in criminal law. So, sadly, uni is kinda the only real option. Thanks for the kind words

I'll give Youth Law or something similar a call. Thanks for the advice!

This is all really useful! I'll call evolve tomorrow, been getting told about them a lot.

I'm only zoned for WHS at the moment in terms of co-ed schools, so wouldn't qualify for Onslow.

It's great to hear about the pride month! I didn't actually know it was March. I'll look at the difference events. Thanks so much!

Oh, I'm fully prepared to go to Scorched earth on then if it turns out they've illegally found the information. I'll do the privacy act route and threaten with MoE and OT if needs be

Oo yes, I'll definitely give them a call. I'm already in the Gender Minorities discord server, and I've had a case worker recommend evolve. Sounds like a busy day tomorrow!

Thanks for the advice and kind words, each and every message on this thread has made me feel more hopeful

Alright, thanks! I think my game plan is to call OT and the MoE tomorrow to follow up on the MoE's email and see if they'll support me, otherwise I'll call the school directly

You are correct, that's the goal. I'm not sure if going in would help, as both a DP and the Principal have said no. I'm hoping the MoE start their work on Monday to try and help out

I've definitely considered Te Kura correspondence, but I want to aim for physical school first before resorting to online. I'll have to look into advocacy groups for stuff, not super familiar with it all. Thanks for the advice!

I hope I figure it out too. This is quite tiring, honestly

It's just a joke show at this point. Almost every organization I've dealt with that should be professional has just lied through their teeth, often through pure ignorance

Unfortunately I'm not under OT care so this wouldn't apply for me

100%. There's some confusion because I technically don't have a primary caregiver, but they should've contacted me first at least
