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.

If you want to use the Netherlands as an example, don't think about legalizing it.
But if you want people to be able to sell it without government regulation I would vote to legalize it.
GO CAPITALISM!

I'm also not for legalization. It's more fun if it's illegal.

You make the assumption that people are addicts because they want it legalized? Fail. Major, fucking fail.
And why don't you want it legalized?

Re: marijuana
Addiction isn't good, depending on the person, but for a lot of people it isn't. But anyway, promoting drug legalization does NOT mean anybody is an addict and that is a grossly inaccurate statement.

Re: marijuana
Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's good necessarily. I'm not promoting drug addiction.

It ruins peoples' lives, so I'd say it's bad for those people.

I don't do any drugs at all, but I think marijuana should be legalized because it's waaaaay less harmful than cigarettes and excessive alcohol use, both of which ARE legal.

Re: marijuana
Marijuana should be legal because people have the right to do any kind of sick stuff they want to do to themselves. They own themselves and if you believe that I can't see why you wouldn't believe in drug legalization. Driving and crud while under the influence is a whole other ballgame though.
