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.

He's a pretty cool guy and he changed the world a lot. He had an awesome personality and don't forget that he was dropped out from college and he is one of those persons who proves to me that imagination is more important than knowledge.

It was pretty painful to hear that he died. Today, in school we watched a documentary movie about him and the saddest part is that he worked really hard on his dreams and he had dreams and they became true, but on nowadays you barely can see a person with dreams.
They're all like 'it's friday friday…party and party and fun!' and they all drink and smoke...The future of the world will be depressing.

He was a genius... It's kind of difficult to believe to me that he's dead… To me the news is like it would be to North Koreans if Kim Jong Il was dead.
It's terrible. It's just... He know he was dying, but yeah, made me deeply to think about it how deep and short life is. One minute you live and another second you'll be gone.
Probably many people don't think the same way I do, but this is one of the reasons why I describe every evening to my girlfriend how much I love her and how much she means to me.
Life is really short, please keep your lives ! (sorry because of off-topic).

Rest in piece Steve Jobs !

Inb4 you get the shit trolled out of you because this is SS, where expressing sympathy or any form of human emotion other than pure, serrated cynicism is not permitted.

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.
