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.

Jesus would have wanted peace. He hated war and killing. Many Christians warp the word or just ignore that part of it and other parts too.

Those are the ones that are blind in belief, when they can't even acknowledge that there are things in the Bible that actually are there. Things that go against their very lifestyle.

I agree with quite a few of those.

The anti-faggotry one was the Phelps family
they is retarded.

And then the comic, the only poeple that would take over that new government was the people that last all their corporate power.

The US isn't that bad. There have been places just as bad. The world is the world is the world. Shit happens then we die and get reborn and more shit happens, etc. But we can have fun and make the world a better place so stop focusing on the asshats and start focusing on making the present better and making the future perfect. Love and hate often fall upon us but we are not completely bound by them. We have the choice: shall we have angst and anger or love and peace?

I have no problem with the idea of going after a bunch of psycho terrorists to stop them from doing bad shit in the future, but this whole war thing has got WAY out of hand and caused way too many deaths of people who had NOTHING whatsoever to do with the problem in the first place.

War is just legalized genocide. If someone's attacking you, fine, defend yourself, but once it's over, don't go over to their house and burn it down. That just makes you as bad as them.

You want us to celebrate the beggining of mass killings of innocent iraqis?

If you support war, you support killing children.

No american in Iraq even cared to count how many children were killed because of stray gunfire and misguided bombs

Military term for this: Collateral damage
How cold hearted are these people?

I support counter-war (reactionary war, I don't believe in starting one) only if it's truly necessary

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_bombs\
FoN's edit: cluster bombs are basically airdropped bombs, usually between 30 and a few hundred are dropped. and each bomb splits into 600 pieces each and then those peices explode and send out 300 jagged edges peices of metal.
they also have timers, so you can drop them close to thr ground. everyone withing a very long distance will be annihilated. They usually drop these in populated areas too.

cluster bombs have their purposes. but how the military could possibly order their use in a heavily populated urban area is beyoned me. i mean, Baghdad wasn't some Republican Guard military base or al-Q stronghold, it was a civilian city for christ's sake! and those fucking "smart bombs" that can supposedly fly through a window, the pentagon conveniently forgot to mention what happens to all the innocent people standing NEAR that building. even if they did take out member's of saddam's party, the civilian losses and the neglect of the iraqi people was unforgivable.

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.
