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.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
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.

You're male, so I don't find it that weird. If you were female I'd be all like WTF?! ... 'cause you know how males don't have to do the whole pregnancy and giving birth thing? Yeah, that. I can't understand why any sane person would want to do that.

Re: What are some of your most controversial opinions?
I want nothing to do with it either, especially not for reproduction purposes.
I am of the extremely rare opinion that the only good reason to have sex is out of love. Not horniness or whatever else.
I'm going to counter that statement and say that sex is totally awesome and if people had it more casually we'd be a happier more free society.
More controversial stuff:
Dating is retarded, and so are most relationships. They are possessive and demanding and interfering with each other's lives, and they give love a bad name.
Totally agree with you.
Most jobs are useless and don't do any genuine good for anyone. All they do is make money for some corporation somewhere, which doesn't do any good with that money either.
Plus the fact that they stand for nothing but coercion and degrade people.
Babies are ugly and disgusting and noisy. You don't see puppies and kittens screaming obnoxiously and messing all over themselves, do you? I cringe whenever someone "talks cute" to or about a baby. [/quote]
IKR!
To be an anarchist, is to suffer greatly. To be a black woman is to suffer secretly. To be the earth, is to suffer silently.
I wish no harm on anyone, but those whose harmful ways will not stop without the same harm.
It's time we kill this cancerous system, before it kills us and everything left of gaia. Rise from our immaturity and take back our autonomy!

Sorry guys, but this is just something you think about when you have 10 nieces and nephews. In my defense, I plan to have a 1:2 ratio. For every kid I have naturally, I plan on adopting two.
Re: What are some of your most controversial opinions?
- There's nothing wrong with having protected sex as a teenager.
- I'd like it if parents would give "their kids" some more independence.
- I'm sick of hearing OMG PROTECT THE MINORZ all over the goddamn place. Though there is some reason to it... because habits learned as a child are a lot harder to remove. I still think the whole WE MUST PROTECT THE MINORZ thing is extremely exaggerated.
- "Sexual content's damage" is overrated. A society more tolerant of sex would be better. A society more tolerant of many other things would be better.
- School sucks... it'd be better if we had more freedom, but a lot of people don't want to learn, and would rather be fucking gangsters and shit than "useful"... dunno how school would change that, though. I don't fucking know. How would we find out without trying?

Fair enough. I guess the thing I actually have a problem with is the whole culture based around using people as sex toys and not really giving a shit about them as human beings. So if there was actually mutual respect involved and nobody's getting hurt, I don't see a problem with it. I just wouldn't choose that for myself.

Re: What are some of your most controversial opinions?
Back on the subject of kids - I refuse to marry or have any relationship with a man who has kids. Call me selfish but I'm not going to deal with another woman in my relationship the way my mother did, and I'm not going to get between a man and his children like my stepmother did. The only exception would be if the mother is out of the picture and there is an opportunity for me to adopt them.

Love is bullshit
Go have sex in the streets in front of six year olds for all I care.
Death row should not exist. Shoot the fuckers on conviction.
Censorship of any kind is shit.
Anarchy will never happen
Piracy is good
Let your kids do what ever the hell they want to.
Worship your god. Don't shove it down my throat.
No substance should be controlled except steroids and shit
People who say they want to be immortal are stupid. We live to die.
No, you don't have authority over me, so shut the fuck up (Referring to teachers here). STOP HAVING KIDS!! You can fuck all you want. Just use a condom or something.

Veganism isn't about "rebelling against the corporations" its about rebelling against animal farming.
Also, you make it sound like protein can only come from meat. That is untrue. Protein can come from other foods, such as kidney beans, etc.
EDIT: Also, are you sure you're an Anarchist...? If you strive for freedom for humans, should you not also strive for freedom of other beings as well? If you don't, thats downright speciesist; and discrimination is still discrimination. Its just like being ageist, racist, sexist, elitist, etc.

Death sentence is untrustworthy. If they're a repeat offender, lets just exile them; Everyone is only trying to push their ideals, if they don't agree with the majority (if its destructive) they can go and forge a life out in the wilderness.

Killing is a powerful thing, no matter what agenda/ideals you push. And considering a person being incarcerated cannot harm you in any way, should be better removed than killed.
Also, killing a person doesn't bring a loved one back to life.
However, If a person is willing to right their wrong, why not? A helpful worker is better than a dead body, at least a worker gets shit done.

But they don't want justice. If given the chance, they'd probably beat the living shit outta him/her for the pain they experience. That's revenge.
Justice, true justice, is forgiveness, in a sense.
You laugh at me. You think I'm a fool, but that's greatest and hardest thing to achieve.

Re: What are some of your most controversial opinions?
Quote:Life has no purpose.
im not entirely sure i agree with that though i suppose this is the point of this thread. My question for this theory is that if life is in fact meaningless why bother with thing like civility and moral issues and not just live life for the hell of it?
Quote:I think it kind of does, in a way. Maybe not physically though. I think there's more to it than that.
In my opinion if you acknowledge that there is a set of moral standards in the universal sense then you have to acknowledge that something or someone that is of a higher power must have set them. This would possibly lead you to intelligent creation since the thing/person who set the "rules" in a sense also would have had to create the thing?

While I do think that there is a higher power that created the universe (and for the record; hardcore atheists are easily just as douchey as hardcore theists, so don't give me any shit), I don't necessarily believe there is a set of moral standards. Some people believe abortion is horribly wrong, for instance. I see no problem with it. There is no textbook right and wrong; hell, some people have no morals whatsoever. lol Though with the belief that there is a set of moral standards, what you've said makes sense.
As far as controversy goes? Well, my opinions seem pretty lame compared to some of the ones I've seen in this thread.
