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.

Howls to the moon
My name is OmegaWolf747. I hate the public schooling system with a passion. I was picked, persecuted and punished throughout my schooling, especially in junior high and high school, as I became aware of myself as an individual. They do not like individuality and originality; I can tell you that.
The result is I'm now a closet anarchist. I am much to afraid to speak my mind in the real world, so I go to great extremes online. Coward, hypocrite? Perhaps. But if I am such, thank the public schools.
My extreme ideas are lowering the AoC (age of consent) to 14, the voting age to 16 and the drinking age to 18 (possibly lower). Driving, I'm not certain yet. But I definitely think young people are treated like crap in this country and it is time for a change.

Strange, I think there actually is a full moon outside my window. I'll probably die of plague or leprosy if I don't say, "WELCOME!"
Edit: This is my 123rd post. Strange.

Dude.
Another anarchist!?! We have no diversity here...
I'm more extreme than him though, the legal age for everything should be 14, except driving it should be 14 coupled with a minimum height.

That happens pretty much all over the world. But if you're in the US, consider joining NYRA or something. They're also fighting all those ageist laws.

While Im avidly opposed to anarchy, I do support your views. I belive that you should allso be able to purchase any firearm at 18 though instead of just rifles.
Anyway... Welcome to the forums. PLease leave you brain at the door. We wouldnt want you getting any ittelegent ideas... LOL

phhhh...18? i'd go for firearm purchase at 14. as well as voting and driving. but i'm always happy to see another anarchist come along, so welcome aboard the SS Clusterf&@k.
I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.
The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

Welcome to SS, I'm sure you'll fit in great. I actually can't tell if there's a full moon tonight or not, too much ash in the air. All these fires suck.

Are we going to start another fucking arguement about whose better in the welcome section again? We might as well just call it the 'what's better?' forum.
