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.

let me clarify...

1. you dont get banned for not doing the hw i assign.
you get a warning or a demerit or some such thing or you lose good invisible good faith points which everyone gets when they come in. im still working out the details and they will be flexible, fluid, adaptable.

2. this is just on of my ideas to make this a safe place for sensitive, non aggressive ppl. soulriser, site founder and final authority on all decisions here, can decide if she wants to support this idea.

i know she supports most if not all of what i have done so far, but she can and surely will make the final call

3. these are special measures for "problematic " people, not for the average or new user.

let's say the people on our shitlist

by our i mean sr, me, ben - the 12 year child prodigy/genious

btw - he is telling and showing me how he has been treated by ss forum members and ex members.....

and....

well.....

im not a happy camper

for the record i love, adore, admire, and damn near worship him

i feel very protetive of him

and 20 minutes ago in our chat i asked him how safe he felt here, from 0-10

he said 3

That, is not ok.

I gave him my word i was going to change that.
