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.

Re: Cool kids
Of course, how else can they stay cool?
Freedom is never given; it is always taken. So for the fact that you're not a slave, don't thank those in authority. Thank someone with a "bad attitude."

Re: Cool kids
There's a pecking order, and you don't get to the top without finding some way to control/intimidate others around you. Guys tend more towards the physical kind of intimidation (even if it's just a display of power and not actually beating kids up) and girls do the whole mean-girl, psychological manipulation thing.
Basically either you tread on other people, or they tread on you. Same reason that victims of abuse don't want an end to abuse, they just want to be the ones doing the abuse...even if they never act on this urge.
Go to work. Send your kids to school. Follow fashion. Act normal. Walk on the pavement. Watch TV. Save for your old age. Obey the law. Repeat after me: "I am free."

Re: Cool kids
Yes it is. That doesn't make it right, but society says that what ever you have to do to acomplish your goals is fine, as long as it doesnt violate (often arbitrary) laws

Re: Cool kids
Cool kids are usually the leaders of the posers. Always wearing the newest cleanest shoes, and up to date on the latest trends in music and fashion. They sport fauxhawks and always wear those corny Kanye West shades. They are liars, and seriously insecure. Most of them are psuedo-intellectuals who really have n clue what they are talking about, and fail to admit and realize how stupid they actually are.
Real cool kids don't give a shit, and pursue themselves not the latest fad. They usually end up hating authority and everybody Later dropping out and starting a band or some shit.
To be an anarchist, is to suffer greatly. To be a black woman is to suffer secretly. To be the earth, is to suffer silently.
I wish no harm on anyone, but those whose harmful ways will not stop without the same harm.
It's time we kill this cancerous system, before it kills us and everything left of gaia. Rise from our immaturity and take back our autonomy!

I always find it funny how society looks down on traits of sociopathy.
In society you pretty much have to lie, cheat and screw over others to get into any form of solid ground and maybe the sociopaths just figured out how the game works.

Re: Cool kids
I never jumped on the societal hierarchy to begin with. You don't need some kind of status to get into a relationship either and if they decline you on that basis, they're not worth it in the first place.

Re: Cool kids
"Coolness" is an imaginary quality found in immature people. You'll find that the "cool" people at school are often times the stupidest.

Re: Cool kids
"Their environment is much like a prison, by the population lacking any ability to check the authority of the warden. The process becomes a matter of rubber stamping. They have no control over their entire lives which is directly related to youth violence because the only control they have is between each other. Mandatory schooling produces children who are either terrified of the tyranny of others or have been raised to perpetually exploit the conditions of others. Its just like the prison system: forced cohabitation."

Re: Cool kids
People can be considered 'cool' (Known) or 'uncool' (Not known or known for a bad reason).
Just do whatever you feel like as long as its frikin stupid.
Chances are people will notice you and you will become cool.
Never ever try.

Re: Cool kids
Being "cool" is subjective. I think my friends are cool. I don't think all of the "popular" kids are cool, although I know a few who are. It's all based on opinions and individual tastes.
You guys are talking about popularity.

Yes, although for most people there is no difference between being cool and being popular.
