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.

That weird moment

Have you ever had a dream that was just vivid enough to find a spot in the back of your mind, but just weak enough that you cant tell if some event actually happened or if it is the dream.

Example: I thought I had a home work assignment where I had to write 10 poems for class, so I did them and turned them in. My teacher started asking what they were for, and then I realized that I had dreamed about it, it wasnt something that actually had to be done.

RE: That weird moment

All of the time, though my dreams usually involve public humiliation and floating in the vacuum of space. Have you ever felt like you were falling, whilst half-awake. Scary shit.

If you're reading this, I killed myself.

RE: That weird moment

I've had dreams where it's been impossible for me to tell if it was reality. I also forget a lot. Sometimes I get a mix of lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis at once, I'll be dreaming about being in bed trying to wake up and then I'll get up and wonder if I'm actually up or I'm still dreaming. And then usually I suddenly appear back in my bed trying to wake up again and this happens about 7 times before I eventually get to the stage of being certain I am awake.

RE: That weird moment

OMFG EVERY TIME.
I wake up and remember I have to do something from yesterday. But then once I do it I realize..shit...I just dreamt it... o.O
It's kind of spooky but interesting in a way.

RE: That weird moment

Yes. I had a huge fear of being kidnapped and I had regular dreams about this, but the scary thing was that, the dream was just one - and it was repeated, repeated, repeated almost every night.

One night I waked up after one such nightmare and I could tell if that really happened to me or was a dream - I put like 2 hours trying to calm myself down. Not a pleasuring experience.

And some times its very vivid to the point that you dont know until you actually realized that what you did will not benefit you in any way

RE: That weird moment

I dreamed a whole day once, and the only way I figured out it was a dream was that I thought it was wednesday but it was actually tuesday.

Also, once, I was at some kind of park, and I saw this girl I had known from a long time ago, and I wanted to get her number, but her family made her leave before I was able to get her number from her, I saw her getting into the car and leaving, I was running up but I was too late, and then I woke up crying and I realized I never even really got to see her again because it was all a dream, and then I realized I had never known her in real life. She was a character from a previous dream I had had a long time ago.

This happens quite frequently, I love it.

Sometimes I will fall asleep and at the end of the dream I will be holding my phone/psp/glasses, and then wake up looking for them for a good 5 seconds.

"Ask them no more questions, never hear them lying"

People say the problem with me is I have psychotic tendencies and care not about other human beings I don't like and or know. So?
