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: Why was your day awful?
Too early to tell. I've only had it for a day, and there's no problem with my lungs right now, so I don't know. I am starting to get fluid buildup though.

Re: Why was your day awful?
Just feeling down today. Extreme boredom, which is leading to depression, loneliness, tiredness, and longing for things that I can never have. It isn't fun.

Are you sure it wasn't the audio port?

Re: Why was your day awful?
It's much more likely that it's the headphones, headphones are very shitty these days (at least the cheap ones).

*shrugs* In Aus we generally get good quality stuff for audiowear. But audio ports have always been shitty. Everywhere.

Re: Why was your day awful?
My tablet became an hero. And I want to draw dammit! And I don't feel like traditional drawing. I want to color shit, dammit! (And ironically, I don't like crayons, I like coloured pencils... the art kind, which I don't have, dammit. Pastels, too, which again, I don't have.)
GAH THIS IS WORSE THAN PMS

1: I'd rather have PMS once a month than a rock hard phallus whenever I get turned on (which at the moment is every waking hour).
2: I love tablets =D
3: I fucking hate pencils.

Re: Why was your day awful?
You say that, yet guys get so pissed at girls, and try to say it's something we made up to get attention. OH LOL. Trust me, I don't particularly enjoy being a bitch once a month, then bleeding out my vag.
Oh, and I don't mind pencils, I just prefer a tablet, as I can colour on it.

No, I know it's real. I know it sucks. But it's better than having a cock.

I don't see the correlation. You know, seeing as we have a procedure called an abortion now.

Which, if failed, can cause retarded babies, which you don't seem to like very much.

Double condoms, morning after pill, birth control. I mean, damn. The two condoms alone would gives a -96% failure rate.

Actually using two condoms increases the chance of breakage because it causes friction between the condoms.
