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.

Which of their songs don't you like? I'm just curious.

Re: favorite band

Well, everything basically off of Nostradomus. But that's not fair, 'cus I also hate Black Ice but have AC/DC on my list. Basically, I hate about twenty of their biggest hits, and I loved them. So I got the discography. Almost all of the songs that weren't hits were blechy, so the song names didn't stick.

I highly suggest Mobb Deep's albums The Infamous and Hell on Earth, if you have not listened to it yet.

Favorite bands? In no particular order:

Skillet
Thousand Foot Krutch
Hawk Nelson
Barlow Girl
Everyday Sunday
Kutless
P.O.D.
Red
Jeremy Camp
AC/DC
Queen
Aerosmith
Others that I can't think of right now

Yes, I know, I go from christian rock to classic rock. Just about all rock. Skillet is definitely my favorite band, with Thousand Foot Krutch coming in second! They're awesome!

Nickelback has to be the most unoriginal band of all time. Every song follows the exact same formula. Intro, first verse, chorus, second verse that's a lot shorter, chorus, bridge, chorus with only him singing, and chorus again.

Whatever. I still like them, and they're still my favourites. It amuses me how each song is structured the same, yet some sound so different to others. I'm not going to argue with you over it though.
