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.

Where did you read the rules? To my knowledge we don't have any page with rules.

Re: HHHHIIIII
It's the celestial woman in Māori mythology who fell in love with the great hero Tāwhaki and came to earth to become his wife, beared him a daughter, Arahuta, and returned to heaven! tangotango Wrote:I love airplanes. Thats about it. I'm a little when it comes to airplanes.
I used to be sort of like that when I was much younger. I never built remote-controlled airplanes or even knew much about them, but I thought they were really cool. Hmm...I actually am quite interested in them now for a completely different reason from before. But now I'm even more about much stranger things, which makes me seem even more .

You really want to like school? How about rather wanting school to like you?
Quote:and i hope everyone on this site ensures that this never happens.
Mission understood.

Rules? What rules? There are no rules! Oh, the intro page thing. Those are pretty much just suggestions
I like planes too... but I just fly virtual ones in battlefield 1942. I don't have enough $$ to spare for crashing real ones
