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.

Mitt Romney
This is taken from the Launchpad forums, originally posted by Rebelnerd:
Rebelnerd Wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ik4f1dR ... playnext=1
For those of you too lazy or busy to read, here's some paragraphs that sum it up nicely:
Quote:As The Hill noted last week, 133 plaintiffs filed a civil suit against Romney’s Utah finance co-chair, Robert Lichfield, and his various business entities involved in residential treatment programs for adolescents. The umbrella group for his organization is the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS, sometimes known as WWASP) and Lichfield is its founder and is on its board of directors.
Quote:But the link to teen abuse goes far higher up in the Romney campaign. Romney’s national finance co-chair is a man named Mel Sembler. A long time friend of the Bushes, Sembler was campaign finance chair for the Republican party during the first election of George W. Bush, and a major fundraiser for his father.
Like Lichfield, Sembler also founded a nationwide network of treatment programs for troubled youth. Known as Straight Inc., from 1976 to 1993, it variously operated nine programs in seven states. At all of Straight’s facilities, state investigators and/or civil lawsuits documented scores of abuses including teens being beaten, deprived of food and sleep for days, restrained by fellow youth for hours, bound, sexually humiliated, abused and spat upon.
Let that sink in for a moment. Not only did the teen behavior modification industry help fund the President ever since 2000, but a man who is undoubtedly going to push for the Republican nomination in 2012 has been deep in bed with these "people" for years.
Think about what this could mean. We can kiss any possibility for regulating the camps goodbye. That UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child that would crack down on them? Forget about it. Never again could we count on Federal law enforcement to come to the prisoners' aid.
I'm going to make this as simple as I can: Mitt Romney cannot be allowed to sit in the Oval Office. If it really looks like he's got a shot in 2012, we need to swallow our pride and support whoever has the best chance to beating him, whatever party they may be. If any of you are (or will be) registered Republicans by then, try to vote him out in the primaries. This isn't a party issue, it's a youth freedom issue.

Re: Mitt Romney
And please don't take this as subliminal left-wing propaganda. This has nothing to do with the Republican Party, we just don't want this particular man getting their nomination. If he was a Dem I'd say the same thing.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.

What's your point? You can legally go onto Obama's Myspace and suggest that he take a long walk off the edge of a cliff, and won't get in trouble, because it's not threatening him. You can say ANYTHING to ANYONE, and as long as you don't directly threaten them, they legally can't do jack. Not even the President. Ergo, I don't give a holy damn if they're listening.

Re: Mitt Romney
Saying "he needs to be shot" is different than saying "he should take a walk off a cliff." Besides, do you really think the secret service is ignoring all those threats? They just don't publicize them. But they're still monitoring and investigating.

We've said a fair amount of stuff on this site about more than Mitt Shit Romney or Barack "Stop It, Fucker" Obama. If they were really going to do something, trust me, it would've been done a long time ago and everyone on this site would've more likely than not been fucked, in at least one sense of the word.
Is the Secret Service currently at your doorstep?
How about in your ice cream?
Perhaps jerking it under your bed?
No?
Then quit being a paranoid worrywart.

Re: Mitt Romney
Do you honestly believe that they're not watching this site? I'm not being paranoid, I'm being realistic. If we're going to attract government attention I'd like to actually deserve it first, and not have it be for something as stupid as a Mitt Romney joke.

Re: Mitt Romney
The government's wasted funds on a lot stupider shit, so, I'm gonna have to say Rebelnerd has a bit of a point.
Oh yea, and fuck this shit, I'm leaving America on my 18th birthday.
The election is in 2012... coincidence? I THINK NOT!

RE: Mitt Romney
Despite the video URL apparently going to another video, Romney is the current front-runner among the Repubs, so I bumped this.

Since Mitt remains the frontrunner, I feel a bump is called for.

RE: Mitt Romney
This reminds me, with the NDAA in effect, I can't see how we can trust any of these upcoming candidates except for maybe Ron Paul, who as far as I know is the only candidate that seems to be remotely close to being a normal functioning human begin and not a scumbag.

LOL, go tell that to the left wingers still on the Obama fan club.
I don't know if Ron Paul will get any success this year. I'm seeing a couple of bullshit rumors coming out about Ron Paul being a nazi.

RE: Mitt Romney
So you guys did read the Op right? Mitt is associated, closely associated, with these fucking concentration camps for "troubled teens", and in all likelihood (definitely) gets funding from them. If he becomes president, there is NO way anything will be done about the camps. Which, yes, are still operational.
