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.

It was made by a contractor the government. Not specifically the military.
As for GPS and cell phones I think the world would be a better place without them.
The way I see it is dying for a piece of land simply because you were born on it is fucking stupid, nationalism is stupid and so is militarism.

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.
Pics or it didn't happen
Once my brother is off his laptop I can do so, as the one my dad has lent me won't accept that HEY THERE IS AN SD SLOT, ACCEPT MY FUCKING PICTURES! But nooooo, it hates me.

Note: The badge on his hat reads "HEAR ME OUT"

I had a drag party once. Then my friend's mom came to the door and everybody hid in the kitchen while I answered it. She did not actually seem surprised when I answered the door in men's clothing and a drawn-on beard.
To answer the question, not really. I used to pretend like I was very punk rawk, but you can't really call yourself a punk when you're the type of person who apologizes when someone says you don't have to say sorry so often.

Then you may be in luck, well almost! Samuel seems to spend his entire day stalking, huggling and obnoxiously flirting with males, if only because they find it hilarious. ;D

Tell them to stick their tongue out and close their eyes so you can rip it out with your bare hands and shove it down their urethra (if male) or anus (if female).

Even if they caught me wearing vixen ears and a tail they'd assume I was cosplaying some adorable animal and would walk away. They're pretty used to my odd outfits. ANd thanks, pretty sure I AM jailbait, unless you mean a specific person whom goes by the name Jailbait.

Well mostly just other boys outfits, need pictures of those ones. And some rave-like girl outfits for the homosexual dance parties I go to. Used to have rabbit and cat ears that I wore a lot, but the cat ear headband broke and my dog (Funny enough her name is Bunny.) chewed up the rabbit ears.
It seems you have to be confident in yourself to be a nonconformist, if I was I'd actually try not to go to school and would pirate shit more often, I guess the best definition I can give to nonconformist is someone who does whatever the hell they want and isn't easily stopped by other people's ideals, someone who works for their own ideals...
Short Answer: Hell yeah!
Long Answer: I believe that conformitism is stupid, because you lose a little bit of who you effin are! Conformitism, in general, is being who yu aren't. heck, i'd rather be alone and depressed than being a conformitist. conformitists are just pathetic losers who do not know the cold, hard, uneasying truth about the school system and what it was originally intended for. They are just blindly following the crowd's idea of "not weirdness" by blindly following trends, having the most up- to- date things, wasting their money and time on things that could be better spent. They are also smart alacs, and believe everything they say is true, and the only thing that is out there. now picture this in your head: an aisle with only 1 kind of soap on it's shelves. this is the conformitist's idea of the world. now picture this in your head: an aisle, with all kinds of soaps, some colorful, some plain, some for bathing, some for pets, some for dishes. this is our, the anticonformitist's idea of the world. the world is NOT, i repeat, NOT one kind of soap, there are many different kinds of soaps, many different kinds of people.

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
