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.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I just watched this film... so fucking trippy, so fucking good. It was the best film I've seen in a while, and that's saying something.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GiLxkDK8sI

This trailer doesn't do the film justice but hey. If you have time I reccomend torrenting this now. It's a romance film, it's original and it gets your brain thinking. I was skeptical at first but reviews said it was 9 or 10/10

This usermade trailer is better in my opinion:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpd3iGsz...re=related

Basically, two people meet, relationship, goes sour, girl gets entire memory of him deleted so he finds out and does the same. Now the film switches between his mind, whilst they're deleting the memories and the real world. But they're both in his mind, jumping from memory to memory getting deleted. It was amazing.

Anyway, yeah my words don't do it justice. I was mindfucked by the end of it, one I must buy for my future dvd collection.

RE: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Classic film right here. Trailers don't do ANY films justice, honestly you just need to watch them and form your own opinions. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind gives me hope about one day finding a girl as quirky as I am even though the odds are undoubtedly against it. Basically a chick flick for losers, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Who am I? Who are YOU?

RE: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I think I'm gonna have to go and rewatch it, I just need another watch to digest the film properly, and then maybe once more... I actually went ahead and bought the dvd today for a friend to go and watch it and so I could have it in better quality along with 'The Boat That Rocked' and 'Hot Fuzz'.

Anyways, next on the cards is The Shawshank Redemption, got it lined up for tonight. I've got high expectations considering the reviews.

RE: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I loved them in Shaun of the dead. Can't believe I never really watched movies that much before. Good thing is I can enjoy the best now Biggrin

Ah that I have watched too, it was rather good.

Just finished The Shawshank Redemption... Oh. My. God (hope the warden doesn't hear my using gods name in vein). What a film. It lived up to it's expectations and more, the plot was genius and the acting was fantastic, Morgan Freeman was flawless.

Hope is a wonderful and powerful thing my friends. I got to the end of this film and I just watched all the credits and listened to the music. I'm trying to look for faults but I can't find any, so it gets a 10/10 from me.

Next up, 'American Beauty'... tomorrow.
