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.

Scared Straight: The Sex Edition

Just ran across this article today.

Quote:To summarize: Windsor High School in Wyoming has, like a lot of high schools, a routinely administered “torture them for being teenagers” program of the “scared straight” variety.

But now it's not about the War on Drugs.

Quote:But I got off relatively easy, because nowadays, the Big Bads are technology and female sexuality, both of which are things I tend to put much more in the positive column, which is why I’m not an officer making money on the side berating teenage girls for having genitals and using computers.

Re: Scared Straight: The Sex Edition

This is one of the most frustrating things I've read in a while.

Think I'll go scream now.

Let's do the time warp again!

Ah, the law at its finest.

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

for fucks sake, the world would be a better place if run by responsible teenagers.

Great. More people who have no concept of knowing when to mind their own damn business. None

This stuff will just make the kids believe (probably quite accurately) that they can't trust any of the "good guys" either.

Re: Scared Straight: The Sex Edition

Jawdrop what the hell utter stupidity,i bet some of the police are even sexual predators but they get away with it because "i'm the law i can do anything even if it's wrong". Brickwall

if these sexual predators are so bad,then cut there genitals off so they can't rape some again instead of locking them up for a couple of years and then let them out into society again,and let them rape some one again.

Telling people to do something without giving a reason compels them to rebel not to obey-Avenger

We need to learn not to be afraid of making mistakes all the time-Avenger

FACTS OF LIFE:
1.life sucks most of the time
2.sex is natural and it feels good
3.everybody can be an asshole
4.most people are idiots

Something had to make my day...Something had to go and piss me off.

Spambot Kill Counter: 33
Spambot Kill Counter as Spambot Hell's Devil: Countless

Buying a high powered computer: 500 bucks
Getting gift wrap: 10 bucks maybe
Seeing the horror on that special someone's face once they tear off the gift wrap and see a Windows 98: Priceless.

Re: Scared Straight: The Sex Edition

That police department had better get sued into oblivion. That's just inexcusable what they did to those girls.
