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.

The poetry thread.

Ok so instead of having different threads for each poem, I was thinking that we could have one thread for all of the poems...
I'll start.

Funeral in a rosegarden,
tears in the fog,
Funeral in the floorboards,
words of a dog.
================================================================

You see a shiny quarter,
in the middle of the street,
you have to pick it up,
a deal you can not beat.

You pick it up,
with all your pride,
only to find,
it's dirty on one side.
================================================================

Why must you guys be such assholes?
You're acting like a bunch of trolls
Violence will just make this worse
Peace must come first
You guys better solve this fast

Oh P-fucking-lease,
you big bag of sleaze.


While you are masturbating,
and eating cheetoes,
I'll be masticating,
your shitty poetic throws.


What a great philosophy,
you must have,
"go out shooting"
That's dumb,
you chav.

"Stop acting like hippies"? Fuck you, sir,
At least I got the guts to save a scotch fir.
You talk about peace but what you want is war,
"It's all for the cause" but that don't stop the gore.
Your cause is "freedom" which you kill to get,
Even when those that oppose you aren't a threat.
Hypocrite and liar is what you are,
You condemn your enemies from afar.
You talk like a killer but you never done shit.
At least I'm a dirty hippie and damn proud of it.

You say I'm a hypocrite but what do you know
You don't know what you're sayin mofo
When Bush went to war I was out in the street
We were waving our signs and marching our feet
Back in 03' I was drawin cartoons
For a liberal newspaper then high school goons
Were beating the shit out of me every day
For daring to care question what the trend-setters say
So shut the hell up, who do y'all think you are
Pounding on keyboards and playing guitar
If you think that that counts as protest then well,
The whole revolution has just gone to hell.

I used to think that peace would succeed
That with peace signs and banners the world could be freed
But since then I've realized that people are scum
All the satire won't matter cause' they've got the guns
For the second it becomes a legitimate threat
Then KA-BOOM go the riot guns, aimed at your head
I'm not saying "slaughter!" I'm just saying fight,
Don't just sit around typing and acting so bright
Get out there, fight in secret, learn whatever you can,
To prepare for the day when the world makes a stand.
So before you yell "HYPOCRITE!" just for your own fun,
Let me ask you one question: just what have you done?

What have I done?
I have done nothing except to learn,
That cruelty and injustice should not be done,
Even to those that would do so to you.

There are workers and fighters and painters,
And I am a thinker of a great many things.
I am not smart, just lucky that my thoughts,
Align with the world.

Eternal peace is a fake,
And dialectic is the nature of the world.
Peace and struggle are poles,
Struggle must come but violence need not.

Violence destroys the balance of all,
And disrupts all progress and benefits gained,
From the turning of the wheel of the world:
Violence splinters the wheel.

This thread was not meant,
to be fair game.
But what rebel doesn't know,
Is that his poems are lame.
