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.

Banner contest

Since my school's banners that hang on the light posts on the main street on the block it's on are getting old, they made a contest for a redesign.

I decided to enter. But not because I love the school. I despise it with every fiber of my being. Rather, I'm using the opportunity so, if I happen to win and my design be in banner form for a few years, I can use this to my advantage later. Sounds cold, but seeing as I don't plan on college, I will need something to prove myself should I try to get an artistic job. And since we're limited to only two or three colors, I don't have to worry about shading or anything, mostly. Since it's line art.

Anyway, I'm stuck between what color scheme I should go with, and after that what improvements can be made to the head.

Since it's a banner, it will need words, and this is only the graphic design for it. I'm still stuck on its size relative to the rest of the banner. I'm pretty settled on what I should put down as words.

Anyway, the prospective schemes:
