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.

12 Reaons to Ban Gay Marriage

1. Homosexuality is not natural; much like glasses, flying airplanes, polyester, and birth control
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally be married because the world needs more children
3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful since Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
6. Gay marriage should be decided by people not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have protected the rights of the minorities
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why there is only one religion in America
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same reason that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. Children can never succeed without a male and female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to have children.
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars, the internet, TV, or longer lifespans.
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate school for blacks worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

Not sure who wrote it, but it was meant to make fun of people who use stupid reasons to be against gay marriage.

physical attraction is all chemicals,pheromones,and how you receive them. if you receive a man being attractive then that's in your genetics. Kinsey did a study that said on a scale of 1 being straight and 6 being gay most people fell within 2-3. i am the middle myself. like men and women, so it is naturel.

You are born with it, it's the chemicals in your body, how can it not be natural?

I think that if it was never meant to be, you're going to have a damn hard time proving it. Look at Roman emperors who had gay lovers.

Ummm... this is what we call satire. It's just lots of sarcasm, obvious sarcasm.
If you thought the list in the first post was anti-gay you are a moron.
Please shoot yourself and save the rest of us.

3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

....WOW.

You see, gay people... are humans. And like all straight humans, gay humans had parents. Gays, cannot have children together (maybe surrogate, or adoptive.), in order for any human to be born, straight people must have sex. but by your logic, straight people make straight babies, and with that, all humans are straight. If no human homosexuals (humans are not the only species that have sex with the same sex.) existed, we would never have this conversation.

evidence against your theory: My friend Nick. His dad was raised catholic, his mom... I dunno. But straight people raised him, he turned out liking guys.

some people just prefer masculine qualities.

Your views are so damn retarded that I could just.... I could..... \/that!\/

1. as I said, it is not a construct of the human mind, animals do it to.
2. NO!NO!NO!The world does NOT need more children! we need to lower our population, damn it!
3. Look to the heavens, and you will find the answer.
4. A sacred bond, is a sacred bond, no matter who performs it.
5. The equal rights movement, and the constitution took care o that one!
6. WTF do the rights of the minorities have to do with heterosexual marriage?
7. There are many religions in our country. Like my Hindu friend John. Or Travis the atheist. Und there is something called separation of church and state.
8. No, gays might come out of the closet and to the alter, but people wont become gay. "In the same reason that hanging around tall people will make you tall." Your a dumb ass.... I cannot stress that enough.... is this a joke?
9. O my cow! Newly weds! run for your lifes. the only danger I can think of related to gay marriage, would be riots among your kind.
10. Mhm. 2 of my sisters each have on child. Each of them were single for some time (both now engaged). and its not true that simply having dad around means sunny will be more masculine, it means there is a positive male role model in his life. but there are masculine gays, they call themselves "bears"
11. It's not like gay marriage actually has anything to do with straight people, so why should us straight members of society even care?
12. now your talking about segregation? where you even born in the 2nd half of the previous century?
