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.

Just call me mist :/

Hi all.

My name is mist. Currently in school, with many ups and downs. It is a roller coaster. I like learning, but I just can't stand school. Way too much stress, it almost makes me cry sometimes...
Anyways, I have many wacccked stories on school. I really need to learn how to survive school, or what I like to call it, "the slammer", and yeah.
I shall post my wackk stories later. Uh. School makes me sick

Anti-school cheers,

MisT

Yes yes, I know, but for a while I was the only person doing it, so people kind of let me have that "job"

Hey, My name's Thade.

Welcome here. Enjoy your stay, and just stick away from the basement, Zherny's room, and Moriko's, er, chair, and you should be OK.

Re: Just call me mist :/

'Ello, Mist... Bit of a generic moniker, sure, but it doesn't make you a crappy member. That'd be absurd. Anyway, I'm Leon, otherwise known as Randomcat, shatterer of worlds, purveyor of randomness, and I have a cuteness proximity the stuff of legends.

For those of you who don't know what the hell a cuteness proximity is, lurk on TV Tropes moar.

Here's to a good time on SS for you. Just stay away from the likes of Raikuron and Mystery... Well, to be fair, Mystery's halfway pleasant when he's not hopped up on drugs and spouting nonsense, but if you see him posting threads such as "The Holocaust didn't happen," steer clear for your own sanity; we can't be accountable for any mouth-foaming rage that occurs from viewing such items. Other than that, you should be just fine.
