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: hello my name is jon
Welcome to the site. Careful not to trip over any egos. As for the ropes there should be a topic called "read this first" on the top of the welcome forum, that should explain alot and be fairly helpfull.
As for other things.... you dont want to feed the badgers otherwise they might wake you up at night for more, We may have to comender your good mason jars and a box or two to help store Legions ego in so be awar of that... Keep off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe your ass.... Try not to ingest large amounts of crack befor posting, the serach button is your friend, the cake is a lie, cory is actually a cat.... It hink that just about covers it.
Whilst some work diligently there are those who ask why. I am one of them
