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.

Re: Soooo tired of christians
If you are Christian, you must accept that everything that God says or does is morally correct. Why? The man created the fucking universe, that's why.
If you do not accept that, you're a hypocrite.

Fuck you, do you also hate gays? wtf weirdo. How can you think it's ok to hate someone just for what is in their mind, they cannot control their attraction. I can't believe you're comparing thinking a child is attractive to murdering a child. WTF.

this is why i don't trust some of it.
SoulRiser Wrote:Basically, accepting things on blind faith which don't even make sense isn't really smart. And if God gave us brains I'm guessing he didn't do it just so that we could let them sit there in our skulls and rot - we're supposed to use the damn things. Blind faith doesn't require any brain power at all.
i actually question god all the time. a priest told me it was ok and not a sin. however, i believe questioning god is what leads to god because once you find answers, your faith is actually stronger. this is why i can see 10 videos proving god wrong and still believe in him.
SoulRiser Wrote:Christians are OK... it's the blind followers that really really irritate me. The ones that never question anything. The ones that bitch at people who DO question things. The ones that never have anything of their own to say and when asked for their opinion will just recite some bible quotes instead.
most of them haven't even listened to the most important parts of the bible. like "do unto others as you would have them do on to you." or the bible quote which is obviously telling us to not mistreat children.
