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.
RE: Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the internet
I couldn't even watch half of it. This is sickening. What's more sickening is that this person is in a high position of authority, a JUDGE, someone who is supposed to uphold good moral standards. Also, some people, yes it is a minority, are trying to defend this.
Makes me fucking sick.

RE: Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the internet
Yeah Elfy fix your damn youtube video.
Quote:The judge has temporarily stepped aside from his post while authorities conduct an investigation. He told local media that the beating is "not as bad as it looks on tape" and has added: "In my mind, I haven't done anything wrong other than discipline my child after she was caught stealing."
RE: Judge William Adams beats daughter for using the internet
Usually I don't play white knight but with a video like this I would love to be in a room like this with this Judge and give him a Judgement of my own.

Well least things will be interesting.
Bleh his crime (it was a crime) was committed years ago and his victim (whether brainwashed or not) desires that he not be harassed. This is definitely White Knighting. Not to mention the girl was 16 (not a child) and her disorder is NOT mentally incapacitating, more so physically. The should not exaggerate. I do however agree with getting him to quit his job. The people of Texas should demand his removal because his judgement is obviously messed up.
