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.

Re: Fuck it.
Meh.
Just saying "fuck it" to everything won't magically solve your problems. Ignorance or looking the other way is rarely the solution.
Let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.

Good fortune follows upon disaster;
Disaster lurks within good fortune;
Who can say how things will end?
Perhaps there is no end.

Actually, it seems like it's more about teaching you how to take risks and not act like " Oh, there's no point, I'll probably fail anyway. "

Ice-T was more like that. thefuckitway.com or whatever was more about giving up. I think.
I like ice-T's explanation better though, so I'm going with that.
That's not to say that saying "fuck it" to some things and giving up isn't a good idea. Like school for instance, fuck it. Who gives a shit, we have our reasons and there's hardly enough reasons to continue doing homework. Or, say you are faced with an unreasonable assignment to do and you know it will keep you up all night. In that situation, I've found that it is much more satisfying to say "fuck it" than to waste my time on it.

Re: Fuck it.
A useful way to interpret it would be "fuck things that are wasting your time, and the world can be shitty no matter what you do, and while it is a good idea to try to fix it, there's no point getting too depressed about it. Fuck it I cbf being srs
