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.

Does life suck
Maybe it doesn't. Maybe its our needs and expectations of what life should be that is.

Re: Does life suck
Depends on the cards given to us and besides life isn't that great.
A rush to find that drug known as happiness and we keep on running for that next fix that will keep us satisfied.

Life tends to suck, but that doesn't mean that it has to.

Re: Does life suck
Better yet, have a plan. Even better yet, have a backup plan because the first one probably won't work.

Re: Does life suck
If your in school life is a living hell! Theres no way out except through! Some people get lucky. Most dont and theres nothing they can do about it because they dont have the guts to stand up for whats right. So they sit there and let themselves get brainwashed.

Re: Does life suck
Ahh, I will never forget the days I was in school. I agree, things can be very stressful and annoying. But in general, as far as the question of life sucking. I think we are built differently. Everyone talks about "sameness" and "cultural awareness", but what about individual awareness? I ponder that we will all someday reach the highest level of realization and consider ourselves as individual gods with a space the size of our imagination.

Re: Does life suck
Life only sucks if you are living in Inferior Western Countries. Life is wonderful when you live in North Korea!

I guess living on the "edge of death" is enjoyable for some people.

While I may be a stupid and ill-educated westerner by your obviously very high north koreans standards I have to ask for your definition of what "peace and prosperity" is. After watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITBqRSMBWaM&feature=fvst I can only assume our definitions are very different. Please clear up this confusion.

Alexander, is it possible you believed this silly troll? Check his IP, you'll see he lives either in the States, Canada or Western Europe. We shall ignore 'em all.

There is no godamn way in hell that I actually believe that there is a possibility he actually lives in North Koreas as 2 reasons:
1. With an attitude like that there is just no god damn way he would survive.
2. He said North Koreans lived in peace and prosperity.
He is a fun troll.
For mr troll, can you lead me to some videos about this peaceful north korea you talk about?

Actually, a lot of N. Koreans are so brainwashed, they think they live in prosperity.
From what I've heard. Although there's no real way of determining what they really think. Seeing as how if they said what they really wanted to say, they'd be sent to a gulag.
