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.

Re: Are you a nonconformist?
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: I don't believe in conforming for the sake of conforming and believe everyone should have a right to live their own lifes as they see fit. I also hate those who try to force conformity on others with a passion. Of course, this is what I believe. How I believe and act are two different things, but since I tend to do my own thing most of the time, I think I can honestly call myself one.

Re: Are you a nonconformist?
If I had to label myself I would say I'm close to a chaotic Neutral.
Quote:A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it.

Re: Are you a nonconformist?
I'm a conforming noncomformist--nah I'm just some gender confused lesbian.
Right now I'm wearing probably the most beautiful foundation and cover up combo I've ever worn (Seriously my skin looks flawless like this.) with my hair done up carefully in a thousand clips to pull it forward. Then said hair is covered by a black beanie with homosexual pins on it to cover up all the clips making it look like my hair is the same length as my brother's. And a specially stolen chest binder underneath my shit.

Re: Are you a nonconformist?
I'd like to think I'm non conformist, but the fact is that I'm still trying to join the military, and that is one of the most conformist things you can do.

Yeah because you've been in the army and you would know, right?
Besides, I never said Army. Truth is I don't know what branch I want to join. All I know is I want to go.

Yeah rescue swimmers who saved thousands during Hurricane Katrina were real idiots. And it was completely stupid of those Navy Seabees, and Army engineers to deploy to Haiti after the Earthquake and start building hospitals and homes again. Same thing for Army, Navy and Army med corps who deploy all over the world and save lives of complete strangers.
And let's not forget all the military technology that has since become a cornerstone of civilian life; Cell phones, GPS, the internet.... Yeah guys, the military is really stupid.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET
Quote:The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), was the world's first operational packet switching network and the core network of a set that came to compose the global Internet. The network was created by a small research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense
I believe it's you who should shut the fuck up now.
