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.

COMMUNISM is when you have two cows, the governement takes both and gives you the milk
SOCIALISM is when you have two cows and give one to your neighbour.
NEW DEALISM (is when things go wrong) is when you have two cows, the government takes both, shoots one and milks the other but then throws the milk away.
CAPITALISM is when you have two cows and then sell one to buy a bull.
FACISM is when you have two cows, the government takes both and sells you the milk.
NAZISM is when you have two cows, the government takes both and shoots you.

Re: Why was your day great?
First things first, congratz to all of the wonderful peoples (and the not so wonderful people) who went out on a first date, admitted like-ing someone, etc. Why was my day good? Because it is now 1:02 am And I still haven't accomplished a thing. I'm going for 4 days.

Re: Why was your day great?
Let's see...I slept well, ate well, enjoyed a beautiful day, got the new laptop, as well as the iTunes configuration, mostly set up (thanks to Darthmat for the latter), & am enjoying the fact that there's no school tomorrow.

Quote:How old are you, eleven?
First of all, anyone that even does as much as read the first line of your channel's description could see that you're a childish, immature, obnoxious /b/tard. Second, begging people to comment, subscribe, or befriend you will get you nowhere. It will make you look like a pathetic loser with no friends, and will make people do the exact opposite of what you want them to do. Third, begging people to stop you from saying "please" is not funny. Not in the least.
Your videos suck. They're some of the worst abominations I've ever seen on YouTube. What the fuck? A 17-second-long clip of you saying "Tic Tacs" over and over again? Retarded. That video of you "running away from home" was a complete waste of my time. "Duckumentary"? I'm sorry. I don't speak assfag. Plays on words are retarded. And people don't want to see videos of little children look at ducks.
Also, who the hell names their kids "Woody" or "Wink"? Are your parents retarded? If so, I can see where you get your trisomy from.
In conclusion, you are a faggot.
