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.

king kongs of todays society

today, me and my sister were talking about king kong, i think she brought up a good point...she said that they killed king kong, dispite how many people he saved. all because he was a big ass gorilla, they killed him, from abby hoffman, to martin luther king jr. to us, we are all the king kongs of today's society, the people upstairs are tryin to bring us down just for bein who we are right now. One by one, heart by heart, they are killing us all, for who we are. the king kongs of today's society. we, the king kongs of todays world, need to rise up, dispite the pain and suffering, we need to be heard, we, the people, need a voice in todays world. Like king kong, we just keep growing bigger, and bigger, but for some reason, we still remain hidden. Hidden from having a say in what we want, hidden from having a say in what we need. we can remain hidden, or we can rise up and be heard...for we are the rodney kings, the che guevaras, the king kongs of todays society.

its just like the kids movie, the iron giant, that facist pig blew him up cuz he was a giant robot, but in the end, he put himself back together, and in the end, no matter how many people we lose, we will to.

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