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.

The forums are mostly read-only and are in a maintenance/testing phase, before being permanently archived. Please use this time to get the contact details of people you'd like to keep in touch with. My contact details are here.
Please do not make a mirror copy of the forums in their current state - things will still change, and some people have requested to be able to edit or delete some of their personal info.
It's a delusion that's been going on for a long time, but I think it ought to be shared.
My life has been changing. It's been changing in magnificent ways. Long gone are my cynical ways of wanting to destroy the world and overthrow "the system" (whatever the hell that is) and instead start a new chapter in my life, a chapter I never thought was possible. In order to celebrate that, I'm releasing edited versions of Dr. Dre songs from his hit album The Chronic 2001, with lyrics altered to be relevant to my life, as well as School-Survival, because wouldn't that be awesome? A rap album featuring School Survivors?
Capiche? Let's get on.
Hidden stuff:
[Verse 1 - Hansgrohe]
Things just ain't the same for survivors
Times is changing, young survivors is aging
Becoming O.Gs in the game and changing
To make way for these new names and faces
But the strangest things can happen from surviving
When homies get wrapped up in ideology and speaking
Homies get capped up and wrapped in plastic
Zipped up in bags: when it happens, that's it
I've seen 'em come, I've watched 'em go
Watched 'em rise, witnessed it and watched 'em blow
Watched 'em all blossom and watched 'em grow
Watched the shitstorms when they lost the dough
Best friends and rep: I lost and got them both
Went and seen homies go to the hospital
It's all the same shit all across the globe
I just sit back and watch the show
[Hook: xcriteria and some mo'fo from the street]
Everywhere that I go
Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)
People I used to know
Just don't know me no mo' (The watcher)
But everywhere that I go
I got people I know (The watcher)
Who got people they know
So I suggest you lay low (I watch)
[Verse 2 - Hansgrohe]
I stopped being a dick for good, you blame me?
Homies aim mainly at survivors they can't be
But survivors can't hit survivors they can't see
I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach
How would you feel a psycho wanted you killed?
You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill
And choose a new spot, if psychos wanted you shot
I ain't a thug, how much The in you you got?
I ain't no bitch, neither
It's either my life or your life
And I ain't leaving, I like living
Homie, we can go round for round
Word for word, shit, fo'-pound for pound
Homie, if you really want to take it there, we can
Just remember that you fucking with a reformed man
I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that
When you wanna come and fill these shoes
[Hook - xcriteria and a mo'fo from the street]
[Verse 3 - Hansgrohe]
Things just ain't the same for survivors
Doctors is anxious to put survivors om medications
They wanna drug us, see us bored, enslave us
Keep us trapped in the same place we're raised in
Then they wonder why we act so outrageous
Run around stressed out and pull out slips for suspension
Cause every time you let the animal out indoctrination
It's dangerous to people who look like strangers
But now we got this old era of survivors
Hustlers and oldsters living amongst us
Lookin' at us, now calling us busters
Can't help but reminisce back when it was us
xcriteria, we started this serious shit!
And this the motherfucking thanks we get?
It's funny how time flies
I'm just having fun just watching it fly by
