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.

Music is shit now.

Music is bullshit now-a-days. People are so stupid and weak they most likely don't know the meaning to the song (usually their isn't anymore though, unless about sex), The lyrics or why it was written.

Damn I hate what the billboard chart looks like. Wtf Omg

Noo Billboard Top Singles

Well, Compare RAP, Hip Hop, R&B ETC to previous years.

The 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, Do you really think they sucked as much as it does now? They had lyrics and you actually knew what the songs meant, I personally love anything from the 80's, Not just because I like the way it sounds but I like the lyrics. The only modern artist I really like it Mika

You are right it does change over time, but the stage we're at right now in Pop-Culture is the worst. It is espically pathetic when people forget that MTV does stand for Music Television Laugh

I just think music has become more about a crappy beat consistently playing with some guy talking, It even got worse actually, You got people with there Soulja boy "crank dat" which doesn't really have a vocabulary period. Just random lines of words. Wtf

I think that the music of today is SHIT! Fuck Soulja Boy! What were the lyrics, "Superman that ho?" WTF does that shit mean? Also, I just love when I get shit for liking actual music, like AC/DC. Just today I was wearing a "Back In Black" t-shirt and this bitch asked me, "Who likes AC/DC?" She asked me that like I'm wrong for something for liking them.

Another thing that pissed me off recently was that a radio I use to listen to changed formats. They use to be a kick-ass rock station. They played classic rock and some modern rock. If it hadn't been for that station, I probably wouldn't even know who AC/DC and Judas Priest were. In April, they changed from beng a kick-ass rock station to a talk station. It sucked, but just a couple of weeks ago, they got fucking even worse. They changed into a fucking Top 40/pop station. So instead of playing music like "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest, they play "SexyBack" by Justin Fucking Timberlake. Yuck

I use to litsen to 101.1 Light FM they called it, It was all rock music and stuff, Than they changed it back to oldies. EWW, I mean I like oldies, but 80's Rock was the best. The last song was Journey- Midnight Train It was so sad, like someone died. Laugh

Radio? What's that, can I eat it?
I used to listen to it a lot, but it got to the point where 90% of all the songs were just shit. Then there was only like one late night show that played actual music, and not much great stuff either. Now I don't even bother Razz

There's loads of really great music out there though, it's just finding it that can be hard depending on how rare it is.

theres a lot of crap out there, especially the popular stuff, but there is also a lot of really good new music. you just have to look deeper and find different underground scenes.

The same thing happens to me. But it was from a guy who liked AC/DC. He thought(and likely still thinks) that Cannibal Corpse isn't music. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

And about modern music being shit:

I don't think so. Yes, mainstream music pisses me off. But listen to some death metal bands. They kick ass. Even new ones. GOJIRA (not new but one of my favorites)

When I said modern music, I actually was referring to Mainstream as in the billboards charts and what every kid sings all day in sing and has pictures of on his shirt.

Can someone send me some MP3's of these underground bands? I'm stuck in a 80's time warp Laugh but I love it.

the only mainstream band I can listen to without sticking a screwdriver in my ear is AFI. I just love the lyrics to the songs. They sound great.

Quote: can't stand the music today that talks about sex

neither can I. It sounds like shit anyway. Slayer's, Black Sabbath's, and Pantera's lyrics are my favorites

AFI are really good. Listen to some of their old stuff. Green Day are awesome, listen to Basket Case by them.

Nirvana, another good band.

Foo Fighters... maytbe some of these bands arent really 'underground', but theyre really good and not so full o' shit

I listen to songs from the 60s a lot.
Yeah.
Music today sucks, but it's all music. Not much difference. It's the meaning you get out of it that counts to me.
