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.

Hey, guess what? That guy in my math class is bothering me again. You know, the one I talked about in my thread, "So there's this boy at my school" or whatever a while ago? Always making stereotypical Chinese? Well, I was going to >try< to grow a backbone and tell the teacher or adminstrator like I was advised, but he barely even turned around to bother me the next day...or the day after that.
He barely made those noises in my face for a whole two days! So, being the dumbass I am, I was all "Oh, I guess the effects of attention-starvation are finally taking place. Guess I won't need to tell on him after all" in my mind and since my parents told me to just ignore the classmate anyway, I thought he gave up on trying to get a reaction from me, or, I don't know, MATURED A LITTLE?
HAR
HAR
HAR
HOW WRONG I WAS. I can't believe I thought that simply ignoring him would solve the problem! Things have gotten so much worse. I can't stand this annoying asshole to the point where whenever I look at him I get slightly homicidal urges. What do I do? Should I just grow some female balls and tell the teacher I'm not gonna deal with this fucktard any longer and possibly bring the administration into this like I was told to in the first place, or what?
*deep breath* I hope I made sense... >:L

Once a kid annoyed me that much, and I wanted to shove my fist in his face.
So during recess, he was about to take a seat and I yanked his chair back. He fell on his ass and I started laughing(and so did everyone who saw it). After that, I threatened him in a similar sounding tone:
Watch on YouTube
(skip to :30 second unless you want to watch the first 30 seconds as well)
I'd say you might as well play some mind games with him. Give him an extremely long lecture on Chinese history next time he annoys you. That should leave quite a weird look on his face. He'll at least learn some damn history.
EDIT: Also, where's xcriteria when you need him? I'd love to see what he'd say about this.
The only one's who get to kill are crazy mobsters or people with a license to kill.
Years in jail is not worth it for some fool.
Yeah, I don't think I'll be taking this guy's life, even though my evil side is begging me to. Besides, it's more fun destroying him in my mind in various, brutal ways anyway. >:3

I'd mess with his mind. Sometimes I like watching people descend into insanity, when I cause it. It's kinda funny in a way....anywho, I'd get the administration involved, and if they don't do anything, mess with his mind.
Pretty Much my only signature...I'm mainly a lurker....you can find me on the IRC (or on DnE and their IRC).
As an Asian, I'd take his head off. See, making fun of Asians is funny and cool... until they're choking on their own teeth. Since you're not even Asian, he must be pretty annoying if he pisses you off so he'd deserve it. Set up some prank or trap and take him out from the shadows. That's how us ninjas do it.

Holy shit ugh. This guy would piss me off to no end. And not just because I used to be sort of like him a long time ago.
If you must absolutely shut him the fuck up, report him to the administration. If your admins are like the admins I had, they will 'resolve' the issue in a way not dissimilar to how the USSR resolved issues.
I'd probably go with 'lecture him on Chinese history' first if I were you though. Nothing like seeing the look on his face...
It's these sorts of little things that can make one's day significantly worse. There's only so much metal control you can try and clamp on yourself in situations like this.

ALSO HE'S A PSYCHOLOGIST APPARENTLY.
Jeez shut up. This forum's name is "School Survival" -- so it's dedicated to surviving school, therefore this bully thread is actually more important than anything to do with our rights being violated. At least he can fucking do something about his bullying problem.

The tendency of humans is to overdramatize petty patterns of human interaction.
The tendency of humans to disregard the events of another individuals life as long as they have no interaction with them.
You do realize this tendency exists?
You know the detached "Yeah so" till it becomes something personal?
If you shoot a random person, a witness will not be as affected(the killing and death might affect them)
If you shoot someone witness knew, or had an interaction with(raising the phrase "I know that person"), they will obviously suffer far more from it.
So the petty patterns of human interaction form a massive network, one which you are a part of by making that statement(signalling your lack of care for something you have no interaction with).
Or something. I think the most lucid thing said here would be the first part of my post. After that...
I still haven't done anything because I'm a big pussy who's afraid to stand up for herself and take action. I'll just keep ignoring him and get over it. I just let people torment and taunt my worthless ass now. Thanks though.
