Lock Down

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.

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.

RE: Lock Down

we had a lockdown at our school, because someone wrote something online about how he was going to kill all these teachers and have a shooting rampage on a date or something
and somehow this came to the attention of the division who put us on lockdown that day... heres the thing. there was another school in our division with a similar name. that was the school he was referring to. and the cops arrested him for drug possesion or something infront of said school. i never really understood it completely, but it was scary as fuck.

also about the hide under your desk thing, and make the classroom look abandoned, I've always thought about the fact that basically every school shooter has been to school, and knows damn well thats what they do. and it would be too easy to shoot through the wall or something O.O if we have another lockdown alert, im going through the window too, screw it.

Honesty is the best policy, but Insanity is a much better defense.
