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.

No, you're just a silly little boy, who thinks he's hard.
You're insulting me of thinking I'm (and this is assuming hard means something positive, no idea wha the fuck you meant) great then I am? Well, you're right. But look whose talking.
I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

Yes, but if just Soul was admin, she wouldn't BEHAVE like she was the head of a hierarchy, unlike people like YOU who have been made admins and abuse the power, staring down their noses at others as if to expect them to bow down...

Darthmat, you can be just as bad as the non-admins. only you have the power to clear up the forums. all the members on here are one group - without a 'they and 'us'.

So how about giving some actual suggestions then? Because all I see now are a bunch of whining idiots who fuck up a perfectly good forum and then blame the mods for not stopping them. Its like the people who sue McDonalds for making them fat.

You're contradicting yourself right here:
Rebelnerd Wrote:perfectly good forum
Perfectly good being a biased point of view. If you were abusing or trolling, the forums would be the greatest place to be right now.

Everyone is worthy of at least some response. And nobody should be told to go and kill themself, except for Osama bin Ladin.

Waiting for what? An admin who'll spend less time keeping people from killing themselves and more time reshaping the forum into whatever you think it should be? It's meant to be a free forum, dude. Get used to it. Yeah, people might treat you like shit if you do stuff they don't like. Tough. Being a good admin on SS means not interfering. Disabling the forums was, I think, the wrong decision. But it's one black mark on soul's record, which is pretty damn good.
