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.

28th of April 2008......

28/04/08 is a date that is infamous in mysticism and cultist circles. The ancient Mamanaka people believed that 28/04/08 is the day of "the great awakening" as they call it. I guess 28/04/08 means different things for different people. For me this date 28/04/08 is a special date indeed. Its the release date of Grand Theft Auto IV

I just read a review of the game and i can't really describe the feeling of anticipation and excitement . If i had to use one word to describe what I am feeling with the release date so near that word would be erection. I love GTA. GTA brings out the dark sadistic nature in human beings. Theres just something about shooting a hooker in the head at point blank range with a high powered sniper rifle that just appeals to people. And we all at some point in our lives have felt the need to stand on top of a high rise building and throw grenades at police, but we couldn't due to stupid laws. It is GTA who enables us to do this. If god was a computer game, he would be GTA. And he is a computer game. Called GTA.

After San Andreas i thought surely that was it. They can't top this. San Andreas was just so good. But they have and now i feel like one of those apple freaks who camp outside department stores every time they bring out a new piece of apple junk. If GTA was a religion i would be a Baptist version of that religion. And it is a religion and i am a GTA freak

LONG LIVE ROCKSTAR!

YOU"RE WRONG, the release date is April 29'th not the 28'th, I should know, I've had a countdown calender for the past few months, and I already have a copy on layaway at gamestop, the first second of 4/29 will be marked by the orgasm of the century after all that built up anticipation is released.

If GTA was a religion, I would so be a member of it. I just can't wait for this game to come out!

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

It's gonna take more than 3 months to play through all the possible story lines they put in this one.
