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.

Rebelnerd Wrote:damn, my mom just showed me something crazy (right after i got home from the psychologist, coincidence my ass). some student (she teaches college) was applying for this sort of school-funded research term that allows you travel and study whatever you want, and she (the kid) wrote that she wanted to study youth violence, and also how IRA violence in ireland has influenced violent youth culture in the area. but her explanation for choosing that was really lame, and didn't convince the teachers. then they saw her transcripe, and guess where she went to high school: yes, Columbine.
so apparently mom asks her if it's "the" Columbine, obviously guessing that this is where the youth violence thing came from. then the girl almost starts crying, and says she didn't want to talk about that. but mom told her that it would be the ideal way to convince the board to fund her trip. so she rewrites the application, and although from a school standpoint it was terribly done, it described how her brother had been going to school there during the massacre, and she had been in elementary school. the place got locked down and the kids could hear bombs and screams from the high school nearby, and when her parents arrived with her brother he was alive, but dazed, traumatized, and covered with blood. it was pretty obvious that the paper was basically her way of "letting it out" and she's still going to rewrite it again, but i read it and it was some fucking intense stuff.

All I can say is damnnn... But your mom had no bisiness asking that girl about that no offense.
