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.

WoW

My brother got it for his birthday. I hinted for my Mom to get it 'cause she couldn't think of much to get him.

I'm planning to start on the Emerald Dream server since I know a lot of people on there. And I'm mostly set on a Forsaken Warlock/Mage for my first character. Horde all the way.

I hear it's so much more lame than Matrix Online but I have mixed feelings about Matrix Online. Sure, it's urban and cool but it's too n00b infested and nobody knows how to role-play. The fact that you can't hafe 1337 names and they make a distinction between RP and non-RP servers is enough to make me drool.

But yeah, anyone else play?

Let's do the time warp again!

I used to play, but if you need any help or advice starting out. Feel free to ask since I wasted 8 months of my life playing it.

I've lost a few friends to WoW, so that's why I said it Razz

(They're not really lost though. I just only hear from them once every few months compared to how often I used to)

If you are going to play an MMORPG play Guild Wars. It has better graphics, almost no grind (and when you are grinding, you don't notice it), and an actual storyline.

I have a friend that makes illegal money off Wow.
Lulz, he says he's made 300 dollars from scamming money off people and selling it to 40 year olds with no life.
