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.

If you want, theres a manuel you can get, that will further explain the dynamics.
Thanks for being a smart ass, BUT... I'm sure black people go through everyday struggles that us white people don't go through. That's what I meant when I said we don't know what it's like.

Re: Black people
I honestly... yeah, I don't quite agree, Oni. Some people will be dumbfucks about it but I haven't actually really seen anybody like that. I mean, black history month should ideally be a recognition and nothing beyond that. Of course *I* have nothing to apologize for as it was my ancestors, not me. Still though, I do think it has its merit.

Re: Black people
I don't hate black people. I hate annoying people. And, unfortunatly, about 95% or black people in my school are annoying. Here are some things that piss me off:
- They have a whole month. WTF? I'm Indian, where is my Indian hsitory month? Or atleast an Asian-history month?
- Lots of black people can't even run there lives and blame it on racism, which is not ture. You are more likely to get a job in most places if you are black.
- Lots of them can't even talk English and claim they don't need to cause "its there culture." WTF? I have seen actuall Africans, and they don't talk like that.
- Finally, why are black people in America especially annoying? I've been to the UK and Canada ans have seen plenty of black people acting like actuall people. Why can't blacks in the US do that?
BTW - I actually like Barack Obama. He can speak english. He made something of himself. And, if he is the role-model some black people need to do something, tat is great.

Aye, but my state takes it to damned seriously, so when February comes, I'm going to avoid going into public. It's like, "OMFG DID YOU HEAR ABOUT [insert black inventor/civil rights activists person here]?! YOU DIDN'T OMFG U RACIST."
And.. no, sadly, I've not exagurated.

Re: Black people
one thing i luagh about is how blacks allways sit in the back of the bus even tho rosa parks fought for them to sit in the front its kinda like slaping her in the face
life is just blah blah blah. we hope for blah, and sometimes we find it. but mostly its blah. and waiting for blah. and hoping you were right about the blahs you made. and when you think you just got the whole blah damn thing figured out, and your surrounded by the ones you blah. death shows up and blah blah blah.

its not like that here. and no, rosa parks fought for them ton have the choice of where to sit - and not to be moved off the bus or be made to stand up if a white person had no seat.

Re: Black people

This. If we give blacks a "history month", we have to give one to every other culture in the world.
This, of course, can not be done, because there are only 12 months in a year, and over 200 countries.
The only good signature is a dead signature.

The easiest way to do this is no-one gets their own month.

I find this ironic since the blacks used to preach about being equal and look at them now. Calling us crackers and talking down to us. Fags

Re: Black people
Its not all "blacks" though.
Just the crowd of them who think they are superior because they were born black.
Still everyone on this planet is equal. That is never going to change. Even though they may seem not we are all born humans.
