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.

Manifactured Leadership

What is leadership?
Leadership as I understand it is quite necessary to humanity. When you havea group of friends, and you guys are hanging out, no one wants to sit around asking eachother what they want to do and end up doing nothing. So of course there is always that one friend (Hopefully you) who says "hey lets go to the park and look at butterflies!" or whatever. Assuming all the friends agree would make this type of leadership inspirational.

Inspirational Leadership is only there when
A)The Friends respect whoever called a shot enough to want to join in

B)The friends join humanely out of their own free will and if they so desire are free to leave

C)The Friends have strong positive emotion towards their leader!

Leader in Tribe Society
There is only one tribal leader and there can only one be one tribal leader. The Job description is pretty tough to fit. He is at the top "only" because he is best for the spot and inspires his friends. If he wasn't then he wouldn't be tribal leader...Let me explain.

People in this society are free to challenge for "leader" whenever
they think the're ready . Naturally there is a constant refresher for the spot of leadership. The Tribe remains strong because a bad leader would be quickly replaced, assuming all of them had to
win a competition with the previous leader be it a duel, display of wisdom,and anything the tribe society would value. To Be the Tribal Leader is an honor! You are the Representative of the people of the Tribe!


School Artificial Leadership
There is only one leader,There can only be one leader, the job description is pretty easy to fit. He is at the top because he lies and manipulates his people. He wouldn't be tribal leader if he didn't pacify
and coerce his friend in to following his orders. Deep down he is scared of the people, he frightens them to comply only because he is scared himself of losing his position and income. Instead of working
in synergy with his friends to do great things he weakens them so he can scrape ahead as their Leader. He is a fraud whom should be challenged at every angle until this corrupt artificial ways are replaced by a true Inspiring Leader. An Inspiring student can overthrow even a teachers reign, I've seen it happen, made it happen, and I know you guys have too.


Leader Recycling
When you get a bad teacher. You are told to deal. Anyone telling you that you can't change your Leader is full of Fucking Bullshit! Do Me a favor and don't let those fucking liars scam you. Be Decisive! Take out the shitty ass Plastic Leaders using Psychology and true wisdom. let those classmates of yours experience the joy of having a truly Inspiring leader!


Don't worry about your classmates They will love you if you challenge a bad Leader. They Hate school more than you think. Even
the Preppy ones will join.

Who am I? That is irrelevant.
What am I here for? That will become apparent.
You can call me Apathy!
