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.

AHM A-GOIN TEH VEGAS!!!1!!!11!!!

ok people, for the next 2.5 weeks my family and I are heading out west to Sin City, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Utah (aka the Mormon Hive), and assorted canyons, valleys, and general holes in the ground. Unless the horses come with USB ports and internet acess, which i doubt, i'll be out of contact for a while. so don't assume i got killed/arrested/abducted by aliens or whatever, i'm just on a much-needed vacation and i expect a full report when i get back. (being 16 in Las Vegas is gonna suck ass i'm sure, but what the hell.)

I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.

Why the fuck does everyone go on vacations? Except me D:<

And why go to really fuck hot cracks in the ground?
I really don't see the point of why people think the Grand Canyon is so great.

well, there is a river going through it. and whenever it rains people get killed in flash floods. there actually is quite a bit of water out there, its just that all of it can kill you in some way.

cool. the guy who met us at the airport to drive us home (a communist sympathizer and ex-60s radical) was like, "hey Kevin, welcome back. we had a revolution to overthrow the state, sorry you missed it. but we kind of lost, so i guess it doesn't matter..." LOL

but anyway, there's no way i'm gonna sift through a billion posts so i'll just pick it up from here. it's good to be back.

yes, but he's an old and good friend of theirs and they knew he was joking. plus my parents kid me about that stuff all the time (or at least they used too before they thought i was a crazy psychopath who's about to shoot up the school). my parents and i actually agree with a lot politically, it's just that the stuff we don't are always the big, touchy issues.

but yeah, on this guy's 60th birthday my parents and all their friends ordered him this copy of an old Chinese Maoist propaganda poster with his face painted in. it was fucking hilarious.
