Bullying bandwagon

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.

Bullying bandwagon

Anyone else irritated by all this anti bullying media? This reminds me of the facebook warriors. I doubt any of these bands making songs about bullying actually give a shit, they just want to make more money because everyones hates bullying and if you don't like songs about anti bullying you're a ________!

Another reason I really hate this is because school is the entire cause of bullying and no one seems to realize that.

Someone beats the shit out of you every day at school and you hate it so you stop going. And then you get the cops sent to your house for wanting to make your own choices.

They say to tell a teacher, but (at least at my school) teachers won't do shit unless your grades get low or you start missing days of school. Or if you have your fucking shirt untucked, that's like the end of the world for them. Who knows what you could be hiding in that untucked shirt??

Yeah that's pretty much the basis of their entire uniform policy.

Well I've gotten off topic here so I guess I'll end this now. Share your thoughts about Rise Against and Shinedown and other bands making terrible songs ~~to make more money~~ to combat bullying.

No, this is Patrick.
