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.

In da houze?
Betch. <3
Hello, all. My name is Shuri. Actually, that 's a lie, my name is...
At any rate, you'll call me Shuri. Or Shuri-chan. I'm a fan of cute honorifics.
I'm a 4.0 student who hates school (OMG go figure?), with two teachers for parents. It's a big deal. Fortunately, I'm (apparently) a naturally bright and self-confident person, so I don't have a problem speaking out against authority, even if it does have roots in my own house. I'm for liberty and freedom among all, and I stand for everything America claims to be but isn't, and I'm pretty much opposed to everything America claims not to be but is. Don't be confused, however: I hate the American empire (oops, democratic government) and am very clear in my disposition to the Bush administration and other authoritarian figureheads, official or not. I also believe that the true evil behind the evil in the government is the Central Bank, and that money is the cause of all worldwide disasters in one way or another, but seeing as green paper is the talk of the century it can be hard to make this point seem valid in the face of such adversity. Some other basic things I don't like are ignorance, genocide, and tyrannical overlords who force us into debt-increasing warfare because they've let themselves be collared by mass murdering corporations with a hard-on for grand theft, international disruption of peace, and printed tree-scraps.
Thanks for your time. You shall be hearing from me again. :]
Yours dearly,
Shuri-chan.
P.S. rebelosing is my friend. He introduced me to the site.
Yum.

Surely you may stay. Hopefully maybe you can become a regular here. I am WildFire, one of about 8 active admins here. There are also many mods, and regulars like you. But that aside, we're pretty much all the same.
So, welcome TO THE INSANITY THAT IS SS!!

I think you meant SPAIN is the cause of all worldwide disasters in one way or another.

No. Religion is second-hand to money and power. In fact, religion is only a factor in the world's problems at all because of money and power. The only people who actually believe in their deities are the ones who don't have said resources. Let's face it; we all know the Pope doesn't believe in God. But he'll say he will so long as that grants him all the luxuries of God on earth.
@rebelosing: That's what I meant. I mean, if you were to twist my words and ruin the message I was trying to convey. :]

As entertaining as that was, there's no news there. xD
I think America, even under Bill Clinton, was more of a fascist country than it was a democracy. But that's because I don't care about the president since they have no real power over state matters. They just give the speeches that have been written for them and sign the papers they've been told to by higher-ups yet to be named but soon to be revealed. Hopefully. :]

Welcome. I'm the resident religious nut, and by that I mean I'm a Christian Libertarian. Usually you have a dude that wants to restrict everyone to the ideas he subscribes to, but I'm the religious nut on these forums. Shows you how tolerant we are, lol.
