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: If you were the owner of the entire Disney corporation....
...I dissed the newer Pixar movies, the old ones were fucking awesome. I can see that some people like them, but I don't because I actually LIKED old things like that. A lot of Toy Story has some adult humor in it, actually. I bet NO ONE except for a few people knew that.

Yeah, their old shit was good, but some of the newer shit was good, too. The Incredibles FTW!

Re: If you were the owner of the entire Disney corporation....
I'd probably restart the whole company and make some decent original movies. Not just the whole "good guy - bad guy - good guy wins" Which makes up around 80% of the Disney franchise. I'd give them some interesting, educational and also, not forgetting, entertaining.
Oh, and I'd cut out all the singing. I don't know if they still do that in the newer Pixar movies but it used to kill me before

Re: If you were the owner of the entire Disney corporation....
I would burn the place down. No more annoying songs, no more dumb fairy-tale sequels, NO MORE DISNEYCHANNEL!!!
And, for no other reason than pissing these fools off (and perhaps even ruining their lives), I would release mickey mouse into the Public Domain.

Re: If you were the owner of the entire Disney corporation....
Well, let's see:
Make sure all songs have a point
Ensure all characters have proper motivations.
Re-introduce plots that don't consist solely of good guys winning and bad guys losing.
Use the concept of 'If an idea is not dangerous, it can scarcely be called an idea at all'
One word: Realism.
Heck, just make serious points, even if subtly.
So, in short:
Complete makeover.
If I seem rude to you, please call me on it gently.

As far as I know, he should have been public domain long ago, but them Disney people started playing with some laws to keep him longer.

Why? Do they have movies where the bad guy wins? If so, please tell me, so I can watch them.

Well, there's the Black Cauldron, the bad guy comes pretty close to world domination, but I won't spoil anything. You should watch that movie anyway, it's great.

Re: If you were the owner of the entire Disney corporation....
Lucky Number Slevin is another such movie. Well actually it's more like a Bad-guy vs. Bad-guy dilemma but it's really one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Re: If you were the owner of the entire Disney corporation....
I wouldn't burn it to the ground completely, but I'd put a stop to the Disney Channel and those awful sequels.

I would perform a big money laundering scheme and subsequently get arrested, probably.
