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.

A story

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in Febuary, one kid brought in an FPS on his flash drive to play in school. What was the name of this game?

Take a guess, then unclick hidden.
Hidden stuff:
Counter Strike.

YA RLY. It was all in japanese, though, so we had no idea what it said. That's what we get for being pirates.
We managed to get the game working though. It was all fun and shooting games... UNTIL TROUBLE ARISES.

The school deleted it because it was "too violent." Come on, you can even turn the blood off! When some students tried to protest, they were suspended for a week. So much for peaceful protest.

So we redownloaded it, and changed the name to something else.
BUT THEN IT WAS DELETED AGAIN, SO WE GAVE UP. Kingsfield School's IT Dept are arseholes.

Re: A story

That reminds me of something my friend did. He installed Call of Duty 4 on an external hard drive, brought it to school, and played it. He didn't get in trouble, because no one caught him.

He said he got as high as 3 F/S at one point.

Re: A story

Well let them ban "violent" games. Perhaps then they'll notice that kids who vent their frustration on video games will take it to RL. Rolleyes

Even my school isn't that strict. The computers are formatted from time to time, but sometimes were allowed to surf on the net or even play cs if we install it. Maybe that's because our teacher is pretty nice.

Re: A story

In my E-commerce class last year, we tried a bunch of games but the graphics cards didn't support most of them. The only game that worked was Halo Razz

Every student had their own personal drive when they logged on, the H:/ drive, where you could store your own files and stuff. But we were only given so much space and and they checked them frequently. I tried to run the games off my flash drive but it was mad slow. I think I created a new partition and installed it there in a folder called Learning, lol.
