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 great?
At night, while my dad was sleeping, my sisters and I set up a Christmas tree - complete with wreath, stockings, and ambient Christmas music -in my dad's office. Sadly, I wasn't awake in the morning to see his reaction when he first walked in the room. It was pretty entertaining though. Merry Christmas-in-September, everybody!

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.
I typed: "end of the world" into google and saw the hiroshima bombing and 9/11, irony much.

Re: Why was your day great?
Lets see.... I got kissed by my girlfriend for the first time so probably the best day in a long time (first kiss so it was a little awkward). My parents finally stopped bugging me cause I brought my grades up. I have no homework at all which is strange for a 3 day weekend (another plus is the weekend). I just found out i get to talk to my girlfriend like all day tomorrow since she needs help with homework (usually I cant talk to her at all cause of it). So best day in a long time (finally I needed one). ;D
Anything that ever happened or will... one condition, it has to be amazing.
I gave her wings but she don't wanna fly no more.

Caffeine and going without sleep are awesome (screw perfect health)! I did an all-nighter the night before last...and then last night I slept 17 hours straight!

Re: Why was your day great?
I got out of school at 2nd period.
Because i am not properly immunized for varicella, and Texas has this kick-ass law stating if ppl are not properly immunized they will be excluded from school until they are vaccinated.

Re: Why was your day great?
Encountered a PETA faggot at the local KFC. As I was eating my chicken, he ranted for about four minutes on why eating meat is bad. After he finished, I looked him in the eyes, and said, "No you don't", and then calmly walked away.
His reaction was hilarious. He went insane and almost started screaming.

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. The sinners are much more fun.
Everyone can back up their opinions. Some people just do it a whole lot better than others. - Rebelnerd

Sex.
Dance, when you're broken up.
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of the fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance, when you're perfectly free.

Re: Why was your day great?
I found a compressed folder full of Windows 98 Plus! Pack wallpapers, sounds, and screensavers. Now it is time for me to re-live my childhood years where I spent hour after hour in front of my old, shitty Windows 98-based machine, doing nothing but going through system files and messing with whatever I could open.

Re: Why was your day great?
Pulled a map of europe out of the trash in social studies, It was another one of my teaches maps from way back when. Copy right 1983, What's cool is it actually has east and west germany, Yugoslavia and the not yet liberated Russian countries. Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, And the other ones. It's really cool and goes with my other old math of north america. (also featuring ussr instead of russia)
Had to move on. Account is dead.
